@navi@social.vlhl.dev also as shown with vanguard, and battleye-- the goal post just gets moved to a Pi with gadget drivers + a vision ML model or a DMA + a PI
@navi@social.vlhl.dev In the end one major vulnerability in a common kAC will burst that bubble and make developers move towards server authoritative anticheat.
@navi@social.vlhl.dev at least it's not denuvo. if EAC shuts down for whatever reason the games that use it will either update (in the case of online only) or function without it (in the case of singleplayer)
with denuvo, once their ticket validation server goes down every denuvo game will stop functioning and some of these studios don't exist anymore
@navi@social.vlhl.dev@steffo@junimo.party there's like a thousand alternatives, it's javascript. land of reinventing the wheel too much because your silly little framework might end up getting you a job at FAANG.
Svelte, Astro, Elm, etc.
It's not that there aren't alternatives, it's that there's no need or desire to use alternatives.
@navi@social.vlhl.dev@steffo@junimo.party those people will write inefficient code in any other language. you don't magically get efficient programming paradigms by moving to a different language. see my earlier rant about how almost every C# program is slow and inefficient because they do redundant or unnecessary string and heap allocations.
@rose@eepy.moe@navi@social.vlhl.dev the spec was written in reverse from i think the javascript jsonld package, which is why there's a bunch of potholes and gunk
@julia@eepy.moe the country that represents .io, the British Indian Ocean Territories, are signing a treaty with the UK to gain independence. When that is signed, the territories will cease to exist and each will set up their own government. And by extension, .io will cease to exist as well because the country doesn't exist anymore.
@Paradox@raru.re@julia@eepy.moe most if not all domains are sponsored by a separate entity, and when that entity dies it is sort of a question mark what happens.
like .fox is owned by the fox businesses, if they were to cease to exist the domain would remain without sponsor and likely vanish. same w/ google and .dev
the thing you're suggesting is that IANA sponsors it instead like general purpose TLDs but they've already stated they won't ever be doing that again
@navi@social.vlhl.dev it's about reducing liability on the origin. there's no defense like "it was impossibly hard to find the terms" after being literally shown it and having to consent to it.
they don't need explicit consent for most EULAs either as it's implied in the service terms but it helps the legal process. (aka it's scumware)
this meme is kind of in bad faith, because you do actually have to be aware of the gpl terms as the end user as if you distribute binary forms you now need to comply with the license and have a copy of the source.
@navi@social.vlhl.dev i mean the gpl does have conditions that you have to follow (source disclosure upon request), so there is something for you to actually accept to.
