the catch was that steam used to have, or maybe it still has, crazy discount prices, i would be mad to lose access to a 15 year old game that costed me 80$, but i wouldnt be that mad if the game costed 10$...
Still, steam didnt prevent you from accessing games, the game publisher did, like "the crew" case happend.
Don't forget but don't hold it too dearly, clearly US society as a whole doesn't give a f*ck about pedophiles, thats the message I see consistently now. Still not comprehending how can any sane half-decent parent think and act like that (or just any decent human for that matter), but here we are and these are facts.
> "no single „this is what this project is” anywhere in the repo description, readme or docs. "
That sounds like he read through the docs to me and make a perfectly valid observation that that the maintainers might find valuable. He didn't criticize them for not doing it he just pointed out that it wasn't there. You then told him to RTFM when you didn't seem to spend much time reading what he had written.
If you can't figure out what the project is, while the description says "...card emulation more stable. And gave the chameleon the ability to read, write, and decrypt cards...." then I'm not sure you should be playing with software that can easily cross the line of breaking laws. Grey-hat software like this rarely screams "NFC CRACKER" since it hurts the credibility, is more likely to get it flagged by automated scans, and attracts skids. Look what happened to the flipper...
Also, my comment was in reply to 'What if I want to learn more about it'. RTFM is the objectively correct response, no short description is going to help there. Maybe we have different ideas of what "learn more" means
A colleague of mine said it even better, its like an old blanket filled with patches, small fixes and workarounds, so much that no one even remembers to how the patching was done ages ago!
The funny thing is that Atlassian themselves uses “custom fields” so it’s not even clear which are actually org-specific. The new JSM uses a lot of them, for example. It smells like things got so convoluted internally that even first party features are just velcro’d on top.
the minute linux solves kernel level anti-cheat is the minute it wins the OS war, tons of friends have only windows on their PCs because of valorant or other multiplayer online game that uses anticheat.
"Linux" doesn't need to do anything here. What's missing is for anticheat vendors to develop kernel modules for Linux in addition to their Windows drivers.
I personally hope they never do, because present day anticheat systems are literally closed-source rootkits. You should not let that software onto any computer you own.
But then I don't really have a horse in the race, because I don't find competitive gaming with strangers enjoyable at all.

With what stable module ABI like Windows has? There isn't one.
You can build a module that targets the current kernel Ubuntu 24.04 is using, but that module won't load on 26.04, let alone a completely different distro like Fedora.
eBPF /might/ help, but one could make a module that lies to eBPF.

The notion that there is a meaningful difference between distros here only betrays your lack of knowledge.
Vehemently disagree with this. One of the reasons I loved BF4 so much were the community servers, with admins that could kick cheaters / griefers, and you enjoyed playing with the same group of folks. It was also one of the (many) reasons I was not remotely tempted to buy BF6. No servers? Not interested.
Each of these has a different use case, and a single user may make use of all of them (I include myself here). Not everyone wants to just click "play", it's very dependent on the type of game.
Helldivers 2, for example, implements the first two. Destiny/Destiny 2 has mostly the first one. Destiny on Xbox has a XBL-provided LFG functionality (but prior to that external sites were used). You really needed LFG for finding a raid group.
I wonder what Sam's club is doing because their checker is using some sort of video based pre-check and sometimes they don't need to check you at all. Still, everything is scanned ahead of time by you or the cashier. Once I did forget to scan an item and they noticed.
