      @@HearMeLearn from chat gpt. In November 2021, streamer Ludwig Ahgren conducted an experiment to demonstrate that success on UA-cam is not solely based on luck. He created a secret channel, “Online Lore,” and uploaded videos to see if he could achieve success without leveraging his existing audience. However, the experiment faced criticism when it was revealed that Ludwig had inadvertently mentioned the channel on his podcast, “The Yard,” leading to a surge in subscribers from his existing fan base. This unintentional promotion compromised the experiment’s integrity, as the channel’s growth was influenced by Ludwig’s established audience rather than organic discovery.
      Content creator DarkViperAU analyzed this situation, arguing that Ludwig’s experiment was flawed due to the unintended exposure. He suggested that the results did not accurately reflect the challenges new creators face when starting without an existing following. DarkViperAU’s critique highlighted the complexities of achieving success on platforms like UA-cam and the potential biases introduced when established creators attempt such experiments.

      @@iyelawolf2196 If you actually played Apex Legends, you’d realize that EA doesn’t care about players on any platform. I can’t recall if there’s a single game that consistently has such major issues with cheaters, even in its own tournaments, where problems occur due to remote code execution. I don’t think this has anything to do with anti-cheat efforts or fighting against all that. It’s more likely tied to the fact that Linux players probably don’t buy battle passes and skins, so this way, they’ll save more since they don’t have to spend money on a platform that doesn’t bring in revenue for EA.

      "Apex has been losing players steadily for years on end now" Based on player numbers on SteamDB, Apex hit peak player counts when Season 16 was launched, Feb 2023, 1 year 8-9 months ago. It then had a slump from June 2023 to Feb 2024, when Season 20 released, which put them above the slump numbers for about half a year again, i.e. they gained players back for a decent while.
      They have been doing badly recently, and the overall trend since Season 16 has been down a lot, but not sure if a period of 1 and 2/3 of a year counts as "years on end".

    Linus, since you always read the comments, here's an idea:
    *BRING BACK THE LAN HOUSES*
    Why would anyone leave their house and go to a LAN House when they can play online at home? Better computers, better internet, better ambient, cool prizes, affordable prices, delicious and healthy drinks and snacks, and other things to bring people together and remind them how FUN LAN Houses used to be because there are other people around playing together!
    Man, the day I have a few million burning a hole in my pocket, I'll definitely do something like this!
    Since you're the king of sponsors, you can probably do this for almost free, if you count hourly fees and sponsorships.

    Does Blizzard's Overwatch have a big cheating problem? No. Does Overwatch use Kernel-Level Anticheat? No. Does Overwatch run on Linux? Yes.
    Overwatch uses a combination of light clientside anticheat and a strong serverside anticheat. EA has no excuse, they don't care about cheaters, they only care about looking like they're doing something against cheaters.
    Even on Windows you can load unsigned kernel drivers and entirely circumvent kernel level anticheat. It's neither difficult for the cheat developers, nor for the actual cheaters.
    There's a reason why the mantra "never trust user input" exists. The only good way to catch cheaters is with serverside anticheat.

      Exactly. I feel like a lot of the problem with cheating in modern games is because developers cheap out on server costs and do too much on the client.

CS is currently unplayable for anyone at a high level unless you go on a third party platform with Kernel anticheat. You just can't detect wallhacks with server side AI AC.
      It's okay for low ranks because the cheaters rank up quickly but 90% of the top ranked players in premier are blatantly cheating because of how weak VAC is.

    3:23:12 for anyone interest in the reason why some websites don't allow middle/ctrl click/right click open in new tab I can answer why (at least for most)
    its because those 'links' are not actually 'hyperlinks'. its not a link to a new webpage, they function more like 'buttons' and just trigger a function inside the web app that is the website.
    A really well designed web app will use hyperlinks to perform in app actions (like opening the profile) and just prevent it from navigating and firing the script needed instead, but in the case when its in a new tab, the URL will load up a new instance of the app and trigger the action, so it will seem like it just opened in a new tab like a conventional web page.

      when setting up a hyperlink you can tell it to `target="_blank"` which will open it in a new window/tab, but that will not close the original window.
      the web developer (in this case meta) would need to use some javascript event handlers to detect either when the link is clicked, or when the new page is loaded and close the original tab, but that can be unreliable, also seems like a very scummy practice.
      I don't use instagram and have not noticed facebook opening a new tab and closing the old on on firefox or chrome, so maybe its a plugin doing it? I would look at privacy related plugins as they may be 'sanitising' the tab by closing and opening a new one.

    I think it is stupid from game developer to try to fix cheating by requiring kernel level control. They have to fix it at the app and server level.

    • @Mr4Goosey

      Encrypting memory is useless for locally executed cheats. To be able to interface with it, the decryption key needs to be available, and that means a cheat could find the key and then interface with your nicely encrypted memory anyway.
      If this were an easy problem to solve, it'd have been solved already.

But from how much Apple users, and even old accounts, struggle with setup, settings, AppleID, etc, I can assure you this isn't a Linus problem, it's a widespread problem, and Apple doesn't want to change much because old accounts are used to this crap.

    as a Developer on a couple games for both platforms, the cheating is not going to be affected at all with EA's move. The player base on Linux is so negligible in the first place, even those on Steam deck, it isn't going to do anything except cut off an avenue of revenue and make even Windows gamers angry. The instances of cheating will not lessen. And give it some time, someone will figure out how to spoof the client into believing it is on Windows anyway, I can already do that for games that complain on install through wine that it can only be installed on Windows. EA is only going to come across as a bunch of incompetent developers. It is actually "easy" to support Linux, especially if you properly optimize your code when it runs through a compatibility layer like wine or proton. Server side anti cheat is much more reliable and difficult to spoof.

    Problem with memory inspection on Linux is that there is no such thing as the highest level of privilege for process or memory sniffing.
    I can simply install your anti cheat, see what ridiculous level of priority it gets, then define a lower level that is invisible to it.

When the lower priority anticheat process runs it would find no evidence of anything that looks like a cheat signature or cheat data in RAM. I have no idea if this has actually been done, but it's a reasonable concept. Except that nothing keeps the anticheat from being assigned the same priority, and it could actually be implemented partly as kernel code that would put it outside all priority. The reason anticheat kernel code would be more effective on Windows is that nobody can compile their own Windows kernel, but anyone can get the linux source code and mod it to make the anticheat think it's doing its job while the cheat runs circles around it.

      that would be a MUCH worse experience for anyone with a sightly high latency. if you check a corner and no one is there, but you get killed from there. no one will be happy. you have to balance between normal people and cheaters. thats why games arent streaming only even though that would stop ALL current cheats

    I'm an "Xer" and I've been using an Oppo A53s that I bought back in 2021 - and the battery life is still great. After an injury, I bought an Oppo smart watch to help me track my progress and motivate me. - it did a great job. This also still works perfectly but I only use it as a watch and to quickly check my messages while I'm working. I wonder if the life and snappiness of the phone is because I deleted all social media apps at root level, except for WhatsApp. I don't even have UA-cam on my phone! I also don't have enough of a daily routine to track everything; it's unnecessary for my life. No Alexa, or Bluetooth household items either. I've no room for AI in my personal life.

    They talked about EA using cheaters as a scapegoat for pulling games from Linux. I feel like there is one argument left out here:
    To cheat in an online game is wrong and pathetic on many levels. The fact that developers choose to implement anti-cheat to prevent it doesn't mean they are under any obligation to do so, let alone for any platform because there shouldn't be a need for it in the first place. So EA choosing to pull a game from Linux due to disproportionate levels of cheating on the platform instead of developing anti-cheat is perfectly legitimate and NOT scapegoating.

    The issue with Linux for anti cheat (aside from cost, which for off the shelf stuff like eac its already supported anyways) is that there is no way to ensure the system hasnt been tampered with, and thus, you can never ensure that your anti-cheat is working with real data.
    Why? Because the user has control of the entire software stack. At least on Windows with it being closed source, there are some parts you can ensure aren't modified, like parts of the kernel. On Linux the user can use their own custom kernel. And no matter how you try to verify the integrity of that kernel, whats stopping the user from simply giving your anti cheat the right value and just running the custom kernel anyways? Nothing, and thats the problem.
    Server side anti cheat simply isn't there yet either, believe me everyone wants it. Once it's viable you'll quickly see it implemented.

      While you are right, I do have to inform you that there are ways around most of, if not all, the things you state is possible and not possible. It goes both directions. Windows "unmodifiableness" cane be spoofed, and Linux "Openness" can be worked around.
      Valve has done a great job in the latter and seems relatively successful in protecting their platforms. A potential general solution could be that the game companies get together to make a standardised anti-cheat framework. It doesn't necessarily have to be open source, though I believe the effectiveness could be higher with an open standard, as the entire game industry has a vested interest in combating cheating. My main argument is that broad, systematic issues generally are better solved with broad, systematic solutions.

    If a thing seems lazy, it is probably not because nobody bothered to do it, but because there was either no time/money to pull it off or some weird technical reason that made it impossible/not worth it to develop. And I mean poor management/stakeholder shenanigans are also a thing.

    LINUS! You can add accounts via the settings app -> apps -> mail, or just via the mail app only the first time. When you sign in via the mail app or the settings, after you have logged in, it gives you the option to choose what you want to sync. So you can choose to synch only your calendar or contacts or mail then only these will sync.
    The calendar app is used by almost everybody, so if it was required to sign in just to see today's date what you would say is ridiculous. I am not saying the approach is intuitive but it is definitely not the impossible task you seem to make of it.
