No
Edit: Well I should explain why I won’t. I don’t want to get screamed into being another person abandoning the democrats.
Your team needs some serious work on their messaging.
The first sentence is a moot point to get people to think. I’m not american.
Edit 2: Yeah, should’ve stuck with “No”
That is why people in general are abandoning the democrats
It’s like it’s some response to being insulted.
The choice was between a very selective sheep herder and a very nonselective sheep eater. Not wanting to watch some of the sheep get all the good stuff, they decided on the sheep eater. While being exceptionally cruel to them, this one is also being exceptionally cruel towards the sheep favoured by the herder, so in their perspective, not much was lost.
Da waren die Demokraten so unattraktiv dass sie hinter Trump lagen. In dem Land geht echt sehr viel schief. Da kommt Freude zu unserer anstehenden Wahl am 28.9.25 auf.
Forming groups is still important. We need it to find our place in the world. There is no single truth, therefore we argue and fight.
Not saying anything you said is wrong, btw. Just wanted to state why we still have this stuff.
Your username and instance kinda gave it away, comfortable cushion ;-)
Just wanted to make it clear that I don’t have an american POV :)
Yes, its a very sad dilemma.
I believed for quite a long time (living in Germany) that this state of “peace by codependency” could be extended, even maybe applied worldwide, but I’m not so sure anymore. I still want this to be true, however.
But a defenseless state is still a very nice target. I’m not so blind as to miss both sides of the US protection, and the limitations and freedoms that come with it.
What a nice red guy, helping the blue guy do a back flip
I mean, it’s got to do with the military industrial complex, so I can’t really say he’s wrong.
Stool for the stool
That would be awesome, but I would be severely underdressed.
I would be anyway.
I think the reason for this implementation is more the theft prevention. This sounds very mich like certificates to me
Well, the server acts mostly as a single source of truth. The clients are the ones registering the shot, the server confirms or denies it.
My approach would be prohibitedly expensive, as I suggested the registration would also happen on the server. It would also result in bigger lags
For the individual saving is something very good. For the economy, however, a money hoarder is dead weight. It’s why inflation won’t ever completely go away, because it discourages hoarding (investing/bringing it to the bank can counteract this, that’s why I didn’t call it saving the second and third time)
It really depends who the issuer of the certificates (wallets) is. The funds get automatically transferred and won’t be lost, it’s “just” a privacy problem (plus the issuer will probably be able to interfere).
So the idea isn’t that dystopian, but it very much depends on the implementation.
Genuinely curious, because this isn’t my area of expertise, but how do you design a server to be “better” if it has to trust data from a remote client?
Check the data on the server (“oh no, incredibly expensive”). Don’t give any data to the client it doesn’t need, like enemies around the corner (“oh no, now my game is so very laggy because caching and future position assumption just became impossible”)
Example, if the client is compromised - because as they’ve said, they have no way to “attest” that the kernel is not compromised - how would the server know any better?
Now the server doesn’t need to care. There’s input? Validate and use it.
If my Apex client tells the server I got a perfect headshot, how would the server know I didn’t fake the data? Is there a real answer to this problem or are we just wishing they come up with an impossible solution?
Now the client can go pound sand. Server decides if it’s a headshot. Client only sends coordinates of origin and target. Lag? Sucks to be you, with or without cheat.
My general understanding is that EA is 100% correct. Now, on the other hand, maybe the should just limit plays between Linux <-> Linux so people can at least still enjoy the game
That would only create more work for the developers, all for the defacto expulsion of Linux users (Way less players at all times). The best course of action here would be the actual expulsion of Linux users. Also, EA is at most 25% correct. (Not a rational argument, I just very much dislike them)
(I’m moving to Linux soon so I’ll basically no longer be able to play the game, which is, as my primary gaming addiction, a huge loss I’m willing to take).
Damn, sorry to hear that. It’s always bad to leave something one knows because something’s become unbearable. I wish you best of luck on your journey! (I’m assuming a lot, but why else would you switch despite your choice of use of free time?)
There’s compromises EA could take, but I think the Linux market share is just too small for them to care to spend any resources - even though they’re raking in billions (~$3.4 Billion) and could spare a few resources to find a good middle ground. Capitalism at it’s finest.
On the other hand: I quite like it. It forces them to keep their grubby little hands from my kernel.
I do not like anything anti cheat. But I also don’t really like cheaters, especially in online games, so anti cheat could be tolerated. The only thing is: nothing trumps my systems integrity. Definitely not online player satisfaction.
I think the idea was that you can’t hoard anything, and stealing or reusing is harder. But it does make the central management way more powerful than it should be. But it’s normal bank standard.
What do you mean with “dystopian statist money”?
What makes you say that? Kamala would have benefitted some people, but Trump hurts everyone.
