My hospital will be freaking the fuck out about this right… about…. Now.

Worked for me, but until there’s a consensus on how to onboard the layman on Linux, we need to stop bitching that the layman doesn’t use Linux.

Screams bot dunnit?

So forgive me for not knowing the term, but there’s a type of attack that waits to send commands until after packets have been received whose data provides an advantage. For instance, a bot could simply wait until it receives the position of your opponent, calculate how far to turn the player to aim, then tell the server “I’ve moved the mouse in this vector”

A bit like playing rock-paper-scissors, but waiting until you opponent shows what they’ve chosen before making your own decision.

I can’t answer for Psionix, because… I don’t work for Psionix. But having worked on other projects, I can tell you that a fully-authoritative server (that’s the word you’re looking for, btw) is not the end-all-be-all of anticheat. Every game has different levels of mechanical complexity, logical complexity, and a myriad of other variables that factor into what type of architecture is used in online games, and that a fully-authoritative server not only isn’t feasible for all projects, but also isn’t a silver bullet against cheaters.

Same with any game, “how hard is it to detect cheaters‽”. Turns out, very.

Being an engineer, you’ll know that the amount of shit that has to go right to get a single pixel to glow is pretty crazy, some when armchair dickheads that have never written so much as a Hello World say shit like “it’s not that hard!”, it just…

…listen, I’m not a violent man…

In my experience, reality is not far behind satire…

Not quite the music for such an occasion, but their work on The Social Network goes unreasonably hard

Bleem was also paid software. I think people are forgetting that, at the time, downloading software over the Internet wasn’t super common. Software was distributed with discs. In a box. At the store. Which sold things. For money.

What kinda fucken bootlicky head-ass take is that?

I only put my feelings about this bastard aside for, and only for, watching Top Gun.

you raise an important defense that needs to be dismantled

Holy shit. Is… is that a fucken rational thinker?

on the Internet‽

Shid, fair

Man, you are one angry fucker… You ever try weed?

After ten years, I hit 5GB. I upgraded to 200GB.

For $3/month

There are many, many reasons to bash the shit out of Apple until you’re left with applesauce, and this is the one they chose?

Whatever, guys…

In my experience, people that use the phrase “you’re part of the problem” so loosely are often the most miserable jackasses anyone ever allowed into society.

People just want neat things. It’s not wrong to want neat things.

You just got

TOYOTA COROLLA’D

You joke, but NDAs do not

Ignoring the fact that it does happen is the same as ignoring mental health for men, or when Google does this shit…

Starting to lose more and more respect for Lemmy’s userbase as time goes on. I don’t care that you think it’s “disingenuous”, no one should be getting exploited by AI. I don’t give a shit what gender they are. If you think I’m being disingenuine to avoid the issue itself, then oh well, there’s no discussion to be had…

Thought they could be Apple without atleast the reasonable build quality
