    1. Covered on steam with game bans, which can be handed by server admins
    2. Would be nice to see ngl. Whats not humanly possible should result in a game ban.
    3. Covered on steam by VAC, automated system checking for cheat signatures in user memory space
    4. Hard to do and not realistically feasible for the majority of people, screen capture with per pixel analysis tools would still work but thats not that big of an issue
    5. VAC and game bans also ban you from community features including trading your inventory, afaik you phone number and all accounts associated with it are banned








  • supplier guaranteeing all the hardware is supported

    This is really harder said than done. Its implications are often quite deep and misunderstood.
    The simplest example I can give is razer backlit keyboards and mice, which gamers seem to love. Razer’s software makes them truly shine and that software just isn’t available on linux. Open source alternatives exist and they do the job, just not as well as official software does. I do hope windows gaming refugees wont be swayed back when they discover not all hardware will “just work”, or at least work just as well as on windows. With Bazzite being a “gamer” distro, I wonder if they made any strides here, though I highly doubt it, else we’d see it propagate to other distros.

    In my own experience, I was sad to see no software support from canon, which meant I couldn’t transfer files from my camera to my PC via wifi. Its a small price to pay, but it needs to be payed non the less.



  • Well yeah… until frontends (instance) can be decentralized and requests sent to fragmented multiple hosts, this is how it works. One centralized frotend, connected to a more federated backend. Afaik, federation traffic should probably not go through cloudflare, but I’m no expert on that, maybe .world admins can comment.
    Use a different instance to access the network.

    Should have been handled on protocol level. Cookies get priority levels, set browser to only accept required cookies and done. Everyone just wanted to do it the easy way… add a banner and ask the user… or dont even make the banner, call a third party library that does it for you… and has its own tracking code… yay!
