Well, buddy… I got news for you!

Also, (and this is from security research articles here) most kernel level anticheats seem to focus more on datamining than anticheat (see: anything from tencent)

Its so bad that a lot of corporate environments ban any work being done on machines that also have them installed (source: my employer)

Over time more and more anricheat companies have realised that personal data is gold and they are harvesting more and more of it.

Just read the eula some time. Most of it state in plain english that they send files from your documents, take screenshots and log keys.

And we give them kernel access…

We'll... The fact that Hes secretly a trained assassin with amnesia using the bob identity as deep cover.

Trained assassin is a huge red flag.

Ah yes, the shitty new boeing turbulence radar strikes again. Expect more of these in future!

More and more games are shipping with mega sus kernel level anti cheat which can (and does according to their EULA) take screenshots and files from your PC to make sure you "aren't cheating".

Valorant, for example, is made by riot, owned by tencent, owned by the Chinese government, and has a nasty kernel anti cheat in it.

So this means that with essentially no effort or changes the Chinese gov can just take this file and related screenshots of everything you do wrapped in a bow

And they 100% will do this.

Except for the overview transition, which is more like sharpened gravel.

There is tactile plasma holograms like right now. Dropped only a week or two ago.

Well, Ubuntu is definitely not the way to go. They are very microsofty at the moment and keep trying to make snaps happen, and they aren't gonna happen.

Wanna game? Use nobara OS, and if that is too hard then try bazzite. Literally all the tinkering is baked in for gaming by the guy who makes alternative windows emulator runtimes and hes a straight fucking boss.

Gnome can't use the argument that "theming our apps is incompatible" and then at the same time not allow other DEs to manage window controls and the like to be compatible. Shit attitude and shit arguments.

Libadwaita is only compatible with gnome and only works with gnome. Other DE's can try to make it work in their DE, but the experience for them is hostile.

To put it mildly, gnome devs are being dicks about it as much as they can be, because they consider themselves the only "real" desktop environment to Linux.

If you want your apps to be cross platform, you can just use gtk3/gtk4 instead, or any other ui library. Even QT.

I use gnome ATM because I think paperwm is the best desktop experience on any OS, but the gnome DE devs are just assholes and they break my heart.

Jesus Christ America are you OK?

I had 13ish kilowatt solar installed for 3.8k AUD... Why is it so expensive over there?

We definitely should reward it, and respect it. But people.are assholes, and that's not a fixable problem
