When I get bored with the conversation/tired of arguing I will simply tersely agree with you and then stop responding. I’m too old for this stuff.

Which is totally fine… for now.
But the old used computers of ten years ago that you can buy in 2036 aren’t being produced today. Which means if ten years from now, even if you want to buy a cheap, old, used computer, there won’t be any to buy. Buying old hardware is ONLY a sustainable solution as long as NEW product is continually being introduced. Otherwise the old hardware BECOMES the expensive thing you can’t get.

All open computer components are, right now, the cheapest they are likely to ever be again for the rest of your life. This is the end of open personal computing, and you should build something to ride out until the grave now.

Sounds pretty secure.

I don’t know… I can’t answer what you’re trying to argue. That’s your hill to defend if you want to.

You really want to argue the standard for communication information should be based on the most ignorant and unmotivated people?
- Comment on Gamescom Showed Me That Devs Really Care About Steam Deck Compatibility - Steam Deck HQ 1 year ago:
Two reasons:
First, rather than just overseeing the most profitable game in the world, Sweeney tied his leadership at Epic to picking fights with Apple and Steam to try to muscle his way into a broader industry position. With how broken and barely function the EGS is, it’s incredibly obvious there is no way he can muster a team to do ANYTHING like Proton, so his solution is to go full throttle into pretending Windows is fine and not a dependency with existential risk.
Second, the bread and butter of EGS is Fortnite, and the developers at Epic are apparently completely unable to engineer any kind of effective anti-cheat which doesn’t involve kernel level access. It is actually easier to save face by pretending the entire Linux ecosystem doesn’t matter than to integrate Proton and then have to explain why Fortnite isn’t available.
The ironic thing is, if he’d put the money the company wasted on exclusives and free giveaways into actual development, they could EASILY have solved all of these problems. It is fascinating, however, to watch Fortnite players dump literal billions of dollars into the company each year, just to watch it get flushed away into absolutely nothing.

Tim Sweeney (crying): “No! Stop it! Stop enjoying the good thing that isn’t from me!!!”

This might be one case where I’d be okay with keeping the methods these tools use as a trade secret for at least a little while so as to slow the arms race. The longer we’re able to detect fake images the the better.
