So what’s the lesson? How can we trust browser extensions? Ublock could go bad and cook half the globe.

Here being the situation described here.

This is amazing news. Hopefully they’re getting enough donations to cover this.

Socialism wouldnt change anything here. Communism would but then we’d have different problems.

Tf2 does have a cheating problem. The only reason people dont care is because there is no stakes to the game. People dont play the ranked mode so its just people cheating in nothing stakes public games.

Breaking 30-40% of your things? Are you sure those are Wayland issues?

Nah its a Russian women.

Its a fun little project and I like the little character but it doesnt actually do anything at this point.

Return of the king is so good. I dont know if these still hold up but u enjoyed playing these.

• Destroy all humans 2,
• Dynasty warriors
• starwars battlefront 2 (the real one)

I just think 64 is to many bits.

Uh no I’m a linux user and i know the anti cheats that do support linux do basically nothing since any root process can hook in. If majority of gamers were on linux multiplayer games would be unplayable.

Anti cheat is always a Cat and mouse solution not just on the client side and that doesnt mean its bad and cat and mouse solutions do still reduce cheaters.

Good server side anti cheat is a perfect ideal solution, its never existed and I don’t think it will exist.

I’m aware but games and players still want a strong anti cheating solution. There is no protection currently on linux for cheating.

No! keep it around ive grown fond of it.

Yes but if linux gets popular those games will get linux cheaters and will be pressured to do something.

Majority of linux users are on a monetized OS. Consultancy, extended service, feature implementation, fast support, donations, merch are all common monetisation methods across major linux distros and there is nothing wrong with any of them.

There are very few distros funded solely by the maintainers they are usually hobby projects.

I know that guy is a crazy tankie, I’ve see him around. What he brought up is a bunch of shit intended to waste time. He doesnt care about any of those things so trying to argue is a waste of time and most of its untrue or misleading.

Which ones dont monetize their OS? Its not that they are uniquely important. Its that its perfectly fine to monetize their own os. They are selling a service that is additional support for users that want it. Pretty simple stuff, you see users asking for this stuff all the time.

Why shouldn’t they be able to offer additional paid support for their own distro? Why does it matter

Poof them out of existence, and what, outside of their own direct projects, breaks?

How is this relevant at all?

Hardware support and working with manufacturers to bring linux support, vendor support bringing mainstream apps to linux, advertising linux laptops and getting it in front of people all around the world, Wayland, gnome, accessibility, a ton shit way to much to list. Just because the improvements are done for Ubuntu doesnt mean they arent useful on other distros. Its free software after all the rising tide lifts all boats. Canonical arent a huge mega corp raking in cash. They cant compare to giants like redhat.

Fuck off Tankie, I will not fall for your concern trolling bait today.

You do not seriously think all canonical has done is snaps and Gnome.

Is building one of the most popular linux desktop environments and distros not enough to sell a paid support package to the users who want it? I dont think thats unfair.
