Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I wanna know they have to have low level shit making these checks on my device in the first place. Why can't the checks by on the god damn server, checking against what the developer knows is and isn't possible to do without cheating?

    Edit: Er... I guess you wouldn't really be able to tell if they used walls or aimbots that way... ๐Ÿค”

    You can still detect that stuff on the server. It's all about will and competence. The real reason is anticheat allows easy surveillance. The Ven diagram of people with Tencent anticheat and essential IT personnel overlaps a lot. This is a big problem talked about but not solved in sec ops.

    Detecting the angle, acceleration and speed at multiple points of a shot in an fps is trivial, and developing a check to see if it's human movement or computer movement is easy after that.

    Aimbots are easy too. Is the camera following someone without having vision? Oh no aimbot. A bit more complex than that... But not by much.

    It's easy enough to do it right, but then you don't get that sweet sweet surveillance
