You can always use hardware cheats. You can use a second device to read memory and video feed, then pass back ESP information directly onto the monitor, or even control inputs.

I wouldn’t be surprised if such devices are already available for mainstream consumers. Kernel-level anticheat is a joke.

Bad Company 2 and BF3 were great too :(

Haven’t played any since, and definitely won’t defile my kernel with these new rootkit requirements.

I have spent way too much time fiddling with audio, both in PulseAudio and Pirewire. Granted, this sucks even more on Windows.

Weird how my absolute favorite thing about Linux is how easy and simple installing software is, at least on Arch. Never touched a flatpack or snap or whatever else they’re called for my 13+ years if use.

It needs to work

And there’s even more people who don’t understand the dangers. Install the wrong APK or click a fishy link, and your device can be completely fucked without you ever knowing. That’s why the AOSP has worked so hard on isolation and ACL.

Cats have a completely different language when interacting with humans. They mostly just meow around us

In my experience it’s very optional

I always just used custom ROMs without root

What do you need root for these days??

Neither of these were abandoned

Same in Denmark. I thought this was the standard everywhere lol. I almost never see ground pins except on professional electronic equipment

And K

In Denmark, Facebook is still by far number 1… We might be cool politically, but very out of touch when it comes to keeping up with the internet.

Humans are fucking disgusting and I suck their tits all the time

I like Gemini a lot and use it often, but I did disable it for web search.

Of course it’s his choice, it’s his system.

The general advice is that handpicking updates from main repos is a big no-no. There are only a couple of reasons you would ever need that, like updating archlinux-keyring on a very outdated system.

Even on my 13 year old install with many thousands of packages, it’s not hard to spot if anything is out of the ordinary when doing huge upgrades. You should pay attention.

That being said, I often just do pacman -Syu --noconfirm && poweroff these days. It’s so rare that anything breaks and I can very easily fix it if it does.

Just look at their principles.

If your upgrade says anything out of the ordinary, which it most definitely did here, that should probably trigger something in you. This is the case for any distro.

Same, my desktop PC had Arch installed in 2012 lol

Arch is definitely not “an experimental distro”. It doesn’t just break, and all the software in their repos is considered stable.

If you have been using Arch for any meaningful amount of time, the massive output from OPs upgrade should be glaring.
