Not trying to clickbait but is this the end for kernel-level anti-cheat?

Do Not Put Your Site Behind Cloudflare if You Don't Need To - Rik's Weblog
And then someone posts your tiny hobby site to a popular forum and you get hugged to death. There are plenty of people who say they don’t like centralization (which is fair), and a lot who mention not using Cloudflare (which is fair), but there exists plenty of great reasons to use the tech whether you like it or not.
Instead we should be focused on what the alternatives are depending on your needs, recommending solutions to actual problems, rather than just yelling at the sky.
Those are just a few I’ve used in the past in enterprise settings, but there are a lot out there.

Samsung sees 95% drop in profits for a second consecutive quarter

While I don’t use a Samsung, I am over half way through my phones fifth year. Other than a battery replacement I’ve had literally no problems whatsoever.
If only lifespan and right to repair were written into law everywhere.

Kitboga built a Bot army that scams scammers
You can even trick people over video now using AI, and without too much effort. The next generation of scams is going to be really creepy, society isn’t even a little bit ready.
https://www.tavus.io/ is just one product already pushing the boundaries in this space

Through gritted teeth, Apple and Google allow alternative app stores in Japan

I wouldn’t call them different browsers, more like skins or “chrome”. All iOS browsers are built on Apple WebKit. This essentially makes all of them reskinned versions of Safari.
Sure they may have some clever UI, accessibility, or platform specific functionality. But they are nothing like any of those browsers on other operating systems.

Tulsi Gabbard’s history with Russia is even more concerning than you think
I met her about 9 years ago or so in NYC through a friend of mine over coffee. At the time she was a democrat with strong views about war, given her past experiences that made sense.
Now she is fully unhinged. Sad to see these people who are so willing to change allegiances just to acquire some semblance of power.

Mozilla launches privacy friendly AI addon called "Orbit"

Believe it or not but it requires resources to open source an internal product, especially one that may have been an experiment where some small team was able to convince leadership could become useful to the masses.
React.js at Facebook is a good example of this. It took a lot of effort to externalize and open source React, and tbh the codebase is still kind of garbage when it comes to contributions from those unfamiliar with its intricacies.

Peter Todd Was ‘Unmasked’ As Bitcoin Creator Satoshi Nakamoto. Now He’s In Hiding
Just sounds like HBO harassed some random dude with no real evidence. Calling that forum post “finishing his sentences” is conspiracy bullshit.
Hopefully if they continue to make claims they have a better argument to bring to the table.

What Monkey Paw Wish would you be willing to take?
I wish it was the year of Linux, and they get 90%+ market share overnight when Gabe Newell announces you can play Half Life 3 exclusively on Steam OS, which includes in-game copies of The Winds of Winter, Doors of Stone, an English translation of Mother 3, and footage of 10 seasons of Firefly that had secretly been produced in private for Gabe.
The downside is they start the enshittification process immediately. The DRMs get worse, then the ads come, and finally the lawsuits and psyops on distros that treat us well and give us options.

‘‘Nobody Elected Elon Musk Act’’: Dems float legislation to make Musk liable for DOGE's actions

Not sure if you are being serious or not. Police do not exist in society to protect the people, they exist to protect the rich.
Any police officer who attempted to arrest one of the richest people would immediately be hit with a lawsuit, likely lose their job within a couple days, and be shunned by the rest of their gang. Not to mention the situation could easily escalate given that most rich people have private guards who are equally armed to defend themselves in case of any Luigi’s.
Additionally police don’t tend to just go arrest high profile people without a lot of justification for doing so ahead of time, such as an arrest warrant, and lots of paper work.
If someone went to a police precinct and told them to arrest him, they’d probably first get a good laugh out of the people behind the desk, and then told to leave immediately.

Intruder
Reply in thread
As the intruder walked down the stairs, “he told me he was going to kill me, f-you and all that,” Chris said.
The final shot hit the man in the leg as he was hopping the fence, the boy said.
The man was taken to a local hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.
Context is everything and you don’t have any. I’d be mocking the meth head who tried to kill 11 year old me as well. This kid is a hero.

Well if the pattern is to be followed, we have three more oblivion releases, and 3 more morrowind releases. So that’s like a decade at least
