They think line won't go up if they don't shove it down every user's throat. They've put most of their eggs in that basket.

That's the thing, though, EAC can run on Linux if the devs allow it. There are games that use EAC that run just fine on Linux.

I used to be huge into Battlefield. Even on Linux, I played the shit out of BF4. But I will never be sad about avoiding kernel level anticheat. I don't even feel like I'm missing out, quite the opposite really, especially after Saudi Arabia bought out EA. Why would I ever want kernel level anything from them? They'd have to pay me.

I guess that's all to say that I just don't play those games, and I'm better off for it. I think we should be educating other gamers on what they're sacrificing to play these games for little reduction in cheaters (BF6 has them, I've seen videos of it). Is it really worth it to have a Saudi rootkit on your computer to play that game? Are they willing to sacrifice their security, privacy, and digital freedoms so they can play a game for a couple of hours a day or week? If so, that's fine, but games that use kernel level anticheat tend to try to mask the risks of running them, which is fucked.

They've been running on that PR spin since 2023.

To each their own I suppose. CoMaps is great for me, and I've never used carplay.

If it's missing data (such as locations) that is the issue, then you can update the map yourself and help others migrate at the same time. Every little bit helps, even if you don't plan on fully moving over. I've done over a thousand changes to my local area and it's actually more accurate than Google Maps in a lot of the commercial areas. You don't have to do a thousand things though, like I said, every little bit helps.

Of course, it doesn't help for outside of your area if you only do changes locally, but if enough people were willing to update the map, things could change.

I use M-DISC (not all blu-rays are M-DISC) for backing up important documents.

I doubt it. Even the article claims that there's been no news about layoffs since July. No mentions from laid off engineers online either.

July isn't "days before", unless you're really stretching "days"

Yes, especially if it's your first distro and you haven't learned habits from non immutable distros. Distrobox and flatpak cover most, and technically, you can install other stuff with rpm-ostree, at the cost of some space and longer update times the more you layer on.

Supported by the Linux kernel, so it works out of the box.
