It’s the most plug-and-play Linux has ever been from my experience.

Two suggestions that I think could take this a long way:

1. Add a little more time every time you score
2. Make the train go a little faster every time you score

I pay my VPN provider to not touch my data and if I start to doubt them I’ll just jump ship to another provider.

There are two ISPs for me to choose from and both want to shove ads down my throat and I’m sure they are selling whatever data about me they can.

Yea I trust my VPN provider more than my ISP by miles.

Unless something has changed, Amazon Music only offers low quality mp3 downloads, and sometimes even includes audio watermarks.

I’m gaming on Bazzite gnome Wayland with a 3090. There’s been some tweaking to get HDR and VRR working but no major issues.

This is why I use CloudFlare. They block the worst and cache for me to reduce the load of the rest. It’s not 100% but it does help.

Computer science was all Linux at my college. Xubuntu, specifically.

Your ISP can’t tell who you are contacting if you are using a VPN, but websites will track you by other means.

The choice to use CloudFlare is made by whoever made the website you are visiting

One of the biggest Minecraft servers I know of had basically no anti-cheat and just relied on user reports and bans. And it was extremely effective. It was a PvP based server, and I only encountered cheaters in like 0.1% of games, and even then they were usually banned before the match finished.

The ones that modify the world’s blocks often cause a lot of lag unfortunately.

second movement takes place in the server, to do so in the client is nuts.

For the vast majority of games, it’s in between, because the latency if you waited for the server every frame you moved would be way too much.

It’s something like you have a local model of where everything is, and send updates to the server of where your local model says your character (and whatever else your inputs affect) are. The server receives that data, potentially validates it (server side anti cheat checking that your movement makes sense, similar to the OP post, for example), and then forwards that info to all players. The client side positions of everything are updated based on that info. Usually some interpolation is added to make things move more smoothly.

It’s kinda scary that Europe is so willing to let all of their private messages go through an American data broker company that is well known for doing sneaky things to get data they aren’t supposed to have.

There’s a huge difference between adjusting the color mapping of the RAW data and using Photoshop or AI. It’s really hard to get an “objective truth” color mapping, and that certainly doesn’t come by default.

When I take a photo, I want to see the photo I took. If I decide to photoshop something with it, that’s my decision, and it’s no longer a real photo, and I would be a liar if I were to present it as such.

We should not start accepting manipulated images as a replacement for real images, and it’s unacceptable that Samsung didn’t give its users a choice in whether to use the real image or a manipulated one.

99% of the time the “other program” is a minimized file browser window open to the drive.

I’ve been doing my work in Linux for a while now. I’ve started trying out Bazzite for gaming. It’s been quite nice, but not without issues.

There’s a huge difference between making a PCB and a modern processor.

I would actually love to take 3300! That sounds fun.

As for 4020, writing performant code in Python typically means calling into libraries that are written in C.

Prism Launcher shows up in flat hub (the “app store” that comes with Bazzite).

It manages different Minecraft instances of different versions, and helps manage mods, texture packs, shaderpacks, etc.

(But in general, all versions of Minecraft: Java Edition support Linux, and most if not all Minecraft launchers, including the official one, support Linux)
