Oh I was wondering where you got the uranium for the glass…

I understand very well the implications of the negative price, which is why I advocated NOT to spend trillions in nuclear, when issues of balancing demand and production can be solved for a fraction of what nuclear costs.

This.

Also, tie together more countries’ power grids to even out production and demand of renewables, and reduce the need for other backup sources.

For a fraction of the cost of nuclear, increase the storage capacity as well. We’ve had days where the price per MWh was negative in many hours, because of excess production.

The barriers to carbon free energy aren’t technical, they’re purely political.

I feel like you missed the point.

Webengines are not more complex than a full OS, and yet, Linux works as a community driven project and Chromium does not.

The difference is that Linus is the one with final say in Linux, and he never sold out to a company. Chromium is Google.

It will never be a “community” project, because Google pumps so many resources into it. The goal is obvious: to make sure that it’s always ahead of any competitors, and anyone willing to catch up would have to match Google spending.

The brilliant move here by Google was making it open source. This ensures that no other megacorp needs to fight them, as long as their interests are aligned.

Edge has died already. Safari will follow. The future is grim.

I could point out the ad hominem, but even worse, emojis?! You have zero credibility, scram.

You could drop the flamebait, but all good.

Not only kernel mode “anticheat” will allow snooping on the current account, but on others too, that’s the key difference here.

Can’t this already be achieved by elevation? Why would a kernel driver be necessary?

By the replies, I almost assumed this was 4-chan. It’s either some bold bravado, or generic out of touch shaming people foe allowing kernel level access.

There are interesting conversations to be had around this topic. For example, Riot in the article rises the following points, can we address those?

Cheat software developers are already releasing cheats that operate at this level. If Riot wants to combat them, it has to do so at the kernel level.

Lots of other companies are already using similar software to prevent cheating.

“This isn’t giving us any surveillance capability we didn’t already have.” Claiming that if they wanted to steal data, their example being a secret recipe, then they could already do so in user mode.

Depends on the kind of games you enjoy.

While not particularly about consequences of decisions, I highly recommend Frostpunk. It always feels like any decision is about trying to choose the less horrible one, but without ever knowing if it will work out or not. The atmosphere of that game is just superb.
