but your identity is tied to it for the duration
This doesn’t disprove what I wrote, as it’s not anonymous.
you can provide pseudoanonymity,
Pseudoanonymity is not anonymity, regardless of how any given person chooses to define that nebulous term.
My “pick two” stands.
As for humans passing their token to a bot, that’s not really solvable by any system.
Indeed. Which is (part of) why I wrote, “pick two”.
But the human is still the one with the authority, and chooses to delegate to the bot.
Which is what we already have today.
but your identity is tied to it for the duration
Then it’s not anonymous.
If anonymous and available to everyone, what would prevent people from acquiring an ID and passing it on to a bot, or from acquiring multiples?
Epic showed their true colors when their store app was caught rummaging through unrelated files and collecting Steam account data from people’s systems. (This was no surprise coming from the creators of Epic Online Services, or from a CEO like Tim Sweeney, of course.)
Their software won’t be welcome on my systems even if they do make a Linux version.
Pick two.
No. They chose a nonstandard Python because they wanted to use coroutines before standard Python had coroutines.
Your No True Scotsman argument is not only fallacious, but just plain incorrect.
you can’t make games or even big projects for GUI
Oh no? Someone should probably tell the people who made Eve Online.
Youre breaking a core tenant
Did you mean tenet?
Yes, that’s right, for the price of the full game you can play it for 30 days!
Please consider checking your assumptions before instead of posting snarky comments.
Buy once, play anywhere
Games that are Xbox Play Anywhere play on Xbox console, PC, and supported gaming handhelds at no additional cost.
Progress goes with you
Pick up where you left off on PC, Xbox console, or supported handhelds - bringing all your saves, game add-ons, and achievements with you.
they’ll also support Motorola.
Motorola (the company whose name and reputation has been well known for decades) no longer exists. Its successor is called Motorola Solutions, and it’s not the company making the upcoming GrapheneOS phone. That device is coming from Motorola Mobility, which is a completely separate company, owned by China’s Lenovo.
thus making me wonder whether the Chinese government can affect it
They absolutely can. And, since they have the means, the incentive, and no reason to fear repercussions, they probably will. The questions on my mind are how they will affect it, and who will find out.
I hope the hardware and firmware features used by GrapheneOS will become common some day. I think Sony’s Xperia line comes close. Perhaps the GrapheneOS maintainers should talk with them next.
I had been massively burned by empty and dull mission based open world games.
Some “open world” games merely tick the boxes of having a somewhat large area and the ability to traverse it. That alone turns out to be incredibly boring to many of us.
Give me a game world that’s interesting and rewarding to explore. Unique encounters. Unmapped discoveries. Surprising characters. Varied environments. This aspect of an open world is one of the things that Skyrim did fairly well. I wish more game designers would run with the idea.
Computer was the key word. The 2600 was an 8-bit machine, too, but it wasn’t a general purpose computer.
Joust, Jumpman, Lode Runner, and Prince of Persia were good on at least some 65xx machines of that time.
It’s an archive.today link. Google tracking/fingerprinting is one of that site’s problems.
I really want something that’s going to be no-fuss, solid as a rock and that’s simply going to get out of my way.
That would be Debian Stable. I’m using it with KDE Plasma (6.3.6), and am pretty happy with it. (I also applied a few backports for gaming and software development, but that was easy.)
Is there something about newer Plasma versions that you absolutely must have right now, rather than living with 6.3.x until next year?
How much are they going to pay me in advance to make shackling my work to their future licensing whims seem wise?
Actually, never mind. I think I’ll godot instead.
Did you know that you can list every process running on your system along with their various categories of memory usage?
man ps
Or for a rough idea, just browse them wtih KDE System Monitor.
Yet another ruse for Trump and his cronies to leverage in amassing power by bleeding working-class Americans dry.
The former can be had on a system accessible only by a restricted group of people, through terminals that have no automation interfaces. Think of a local private library with a bulletin board: Only members can enter, and once inside, anyone can post using the provided tools, but there are no tools that bots could use, and there’s nothing connecting an individual to what they post on the board. Of course, a system like this would not be available to everyone; it wouldn’t work as an internet service, for example.
The latter can be had by requiring an access token issued to each user. Bots could then be either ejected quickly by revoking their owner’s token when discovered, or prevented early by requiring all access to be through public terminals that have no automation interfaces. Of course, any system that issues an access token to an individual cannot be anonymous if revocation is to be meaningful.
I wish that were possible, but no, it is not. If a government (or any other authority) keeps track of whether they issue someone an ID, then they must also have the ability to connect IDs to individuals. Such an arrangement can only be anonymous if everyone involved is a good-faith actor choosing not to abuse that ability, which history demonstrates is not a realistic assumption.
