I've been following John Carmack for 35 years and if I'm honest I have nothing to add. In fact, I'll use this quote later. I'm going to use this tomorrow. Maybe (because it's 730pm and I'm at a pub) use it tonight.

And to get back to the topic, quake three allowed you to rocket or rail your enemies. Endless options for ruling.

Like quake 3 rocket arena? The nostalgia I think of when those words come together, even when forced. What a time.

My personal feeling is life got stretched wider, the poorest got poorer and the richest got richer, and more people are stretched out like gum between. Not just population increases, the homelessness, and the "dregs" (maybe hopelessness) are more. But there's plenty of people riding the stretch the other way with house ownership protecting those who have, and have more.

I've felt lucky, I've always been employed and finding more better work, I already owned by tiny flat. Because of that I'm basically the same but I'm watching everyone around me disappear one way or the other. Financially and politically.

"The complexities of this case is above and beyond what sometimes you can take through [the courts] and we've got limited actions as a council,"

The only answer is they're too incompetent. He means to say, either the council laws themselves that they create, has too many loopholes like the ambiguous 2008 relaxation, or they aren't equipped to enforce the laws they have. In other words if you bully them, they'll fold since they're not competent to stand up.

I heard while in mining that breaches of dust and noise result in fines that act more like a relaxation cost when price of coal is high enough.

At some point a law is more like a purchase price for the wealthy when a final sales value of a home could result surpass 5 mill and the "relaxation" fine is only $50k.

The wealthy value time. Time is an equaliser. Put them in jail. 6 months for every tree past the 5 that might have been allowed in 2008.

The council said it was too complex for them and somehow there was no mention of incompetence in the article.

I prefer a really well told story over a pick your own adventure. Character flaws, growth, emotional connections and situational realities are all able to be masterfully written when in control. But if you can't write well, just make an interesting playground and leave it up to the player and blame them for a boring game. :)

People like to conflate two problems together.

Lots of Australia is small and far away from metropolis.

Lots of metropolis could happily exist with wonderful multi modal transport options like trains bus bike and walking.

Between the two, cars grant autonomy outside public planning for individuals to still be individuals to get between families and economy between remote to remote and metro to remote even when there's no feasible public transport.

The devil in the detail is the problem at it always is anything when you look into it.

Yes there's big opportunity to improve mass transit. Yes there's a place for long range individual and small scale transit. Yes there's a place for last mile delivery.

But the average Joe doesn't really and shouldn't really need to know, or care. Why does it take a nation, that is every individual, to understand and vote for what is nuanced and specific? Why can't bold moves be made and results be explained?

Anyway that's enough drunk reply

First party sites are how my credit card gets leaked every single time. The incompetence is thorough at every level.

My personal trick is even in my own country to get new travel credit cards regularly. The first one I got was scammed on my first booking. I alerted the hotel and they said it couldn't possibly be them. They're the only company that ever got those details it can only be them.

I'm not an expert, but it sounds like if you finish a session of valorant, the anti cheat never unloads and continues to monitor memory and files.

Easy Anticheat though, according so some sources, only runs during game play.

Riots Anticheat has a bad history though. But both essentially are black boxes that send details both hash and samples back to their owners for them to approve what's on it computer. Opened a medical record? It's probably been hashed and sent back.

Opened your employers accounting files when working from home? details you probably sent riot a copy.

Both can be updated. There's no guarantees that riot won't do something nasty against a portion of high value targets. They know you from your payment details. They can identify, update the module and get anything they like, they have root.

Anticheat has a history of being a tool for hackers. https://www.vice.com/en/article/hackers-are-using-anti-cheat-in-genshin-impact-to-ransom-victims/

There's no upside for the user. Mostly because they don't work anyway.

Just compile your kernel with the anti cheat flags and telemetry enabled from source.

I guess that's your loss
