Could be worse - outside of the US, the glass is generally February 1st

I'd settle for that solution anyways, but only as long as users can still mix and match kernels (one for secure boot and games that require anti-cheat, and another for custom hardware)

Which is why I prefer the MacOS approach better - instead of relying on the developer adding a hypervisor, Apple uses binary signatures for all the relevant system files which are attested via something similar to Secure Boot, plus an Apple-provided API for runtime attestation, to ensure that the system has not been touched since boot. I suspect that Valve's assistance in making Arch Linux builds reproducible is pointing towards that goal.

Single-player? Absolutely. Multiplayer though? Outside of fighting games, indie games, and anything made by Valve, it's increasingly difficult to find any multiplayer game that works on Linux, and even those that still work can have the multiplayer yanked off down the line like what happened with Apex Legends.

Considering that Vanguard has already been bypassed at least once (see dailydarkweb.net/vanguard-bypa… ), I think somebody must already know if the tool is ultimately malicious or not. Problem is, the somebody that knows has a vested interest in not disclosing any details, being a cheat bypasser and all.

That's precisely why I haven't so much as touched any games if they don't support Linux with their anti-cheat solution. The developers of Apex Legends proudly announcing that dropping support for Linux made cheaters drop "significantly" doesn't sit well with me, and in fact I suspect EA is doing something malicious that can't be feasibly detected precisely because of their kernel-level access. And don't even get me started with Tencent-funded Riot's Vanguard, it's practically guaranteed that China will eventually demand to use it as a backdoor someday.

A shame that many multiplayer game developers, like EA and Riot, still consider Linux to be too unsafe to trust with an anti-cheat. I wonder if Valve is working on a proper solution for that - signed kernels and packages a la MacOS, perhaps?

That must have taken some diplomacy, but it would have been even more impressive to have convinced Stallman to come too

Looks like a certain officer doesn't know about "sexual healing" huh?

Missed the chance of writing it as "testing different bistros" but yeah, facts no printer

Somebody online said that she probably got a discount on the originals thanks to her rerecordings devaluating the value of the first records - and, you know, that's a galaxy brain move

My municipality does something similar but with the procedure being backwards - giving tax breaks to owners of one single property, that are, of course, unavailable to owners of multiple houses
