I'm *ada, a transgender tech witch in the process of becoming a c and c++ gremlin.
I program mainly in C#, but i'm in the process of switching to C/C++.
I'm just someone in my late twenties that likes to program, do photography, muse about electronics, space and space stuff.
My main programming focus these days is reverse engineering games and data analysis,
but most of my private posts are non-technical, personal ramblings.
i was this old when i found out that the icelandic word for computer is tölva, which apparently comes from tala and völva which translated literally means "number witch"
i will be only referring to myself and computing as number witch and number witchcraft
Please don't eat the propaganda anti-cheat developers are talking about with regards to kernel-level anticheat and/or linux support.
Most self respecting anti-cheat developers know that it's not where the anti-cheat is, but how actively it's updated. Supporting Linux does increase the surface area of potential cheats, but so does macOS and you literally can't have a kernel level anti-cheat on Mac without support from Apple. Good luck with that.
Enabling Proton support for Linux on games that have EAC or BattlEye is nowadays checking a checkbox (actually sending an email, and shipping a library.) It's not a lot of work for these developers. Don't believe them that it would be an extreme task to implement it.
This is the Denuvo conversation all over again. "Denuvo doesn't reduce performance and isn't bloatware!" yet there's a lot of evidence of Denuvo introducing frame pacing issues and whenever a game removes denuvo the .exe size is reduced by 200-300 MiB. You can't tell me that 300 MB of machine code isn't bloatware and has zero performance impacts.
Also speaking of Linux gaming and cheaters.
