I think I need more info. It seems like userspace is very hackable, so thus kernel level anti-cheat was born to control stuff like synthetic inputs and manipulation of memory / frame analysis. This anti-cheat would be held together by the fact that the kernel/drivers are proprietary and not very easy to edit. Obviously still possible because it's on your own computer, but challenging and invasive. Do I have that right?

In which case I don't see how going back to userspace would help. What is the solution? There probably isn't one outside of hardware (buying a hacking chip and soldering it in is annoying for most)

When I was doing game dev we focussed on AI-style analytics of user behavior. Of course a good enough bot could always look human. A real cat and mouse game wasting lots of time

Huh wow this has been going for a decade, uses Rust, and is run by the Linux Foundation now? That's all very hype - seems like they need another couple years, but there is hope! I'm impressed

Functionally the same for most people. A VPN is a virtual LAN so you can access other computers on it. Ex. company's internal websites from a remote location

Proxy just forwards traffic like a gateway. In both cases the source is hidden. LANs have gateways too

It's actually a very sophisticated game of D&D where they are larping as lawyers in a world where they are not beholden to the spirit of the law

Yeah tldr is "rust good", "ai overrated", "i only care about the kernel and won't answer your questions"

Wow this is epic and although intimidating, quite good to read and know

Wow positive supreme court news, wild. Tldr might be that users have a right to post and do stuff on the site, site owners have right to moderate and promote as they see fit, governments aren't not allowed to stomp on free speech on these platforms or coerce the platforms?

Yeah I'm with you on this, I actually only got it for YouTube music — which really is like "here you can play any song from the history of humanity and also yt video audios." Well actually what happened is I was using Google Music and then the assholes shut it down and merged it into YT Music which is now roughly on par. I was pissed, but user retained

But I have been enjoying the fact that my subscription goes towards paying the ppl I watch, and I like that I'm unaffected by YT's server side ads concept (which I've always wondered why they don't do, I think it makes CDNs too hard to optimize while stitching ads directly into videos)
