I don't care much about government services. The less I deal with them, the better. I can file my stupid taxes using some certificate that was sent to me by mail, that's enough for me.
What else would the government have to offer? If I move I'll show up at some local entity, get my passport updated and I'll never think about it again until next time I move.
Taxes, health insurance, medical records, updating business registrations, pension, pharmacies, university programs, mijnoverheid (the like government message box where you get digital copies of any mail that would be sent to you)
Kernel anti-cheat (KMAC) is an effective tool when used effectively and invested in (see Vanguard), but it only works when you are consistent and the team working on it are interested and capable. Creating terrible KMAC happens all the time, and gets treated as a one-and-done thing which will always be defeated. You have to continually watch the cheat market and work actively against it.
It works, and Valorant with Vanguard is the highest quality example we have. Competitive games deserve to be taken seriously and should have the best attempt at ensuring integrity, and not written off as a wasteful effort to keep Linux users out.
if you are actively engaged why do you need kernel level access? you can always sneak a subtle remote execution pathway into your game so you can reliably run userland code at will. kernel level cheats will escape direct detection but you can always hot patch your game engine in such a way that their memory reading patterns will give them away through cache timings.
It is meant to offend and it is offensive. It just isn’t socially unacceptable yet. In circles i’m in where humans roleplay as robots or AI, it has had a significant increase in usage and was banned.
Makes sense, I don't know why some people are OK with slurs in general, as long as it's against their favourite outgroup. Let's just all mature enough to realise that slurs are universally unacceptable.
There's a world where all the big platforms automatically flag AI images thanks to SnythID and other techniques. The more ubiquitous it is the easier it will be for them to make that a reality.
Is it weird? Pretty much everyone's writing and speech is influenced to some degree by what they've read and heard in conversation. For better or for worse, it's only getting harder to avoid exposure to LLM generated prose.
