  • They're historically relatable because they're based on author's life. The author's life currently happens to be living in a country where one constantly worries about these topics.

  • Moreover, codebase in pure funcional languages is hard to understand and maintain, that’s why they are rarely used in production.

    This is incorrect. They are rarely used because procedural languages have momentum. It's way more likely you'll get Joe Codemonkey to learn and be productive quickly with functional features added to a procedural language than to learn and be productive quickly with an entirely different paradigm. So that's what happens.

  • It depends on the repository. The big distro repositories will have security patches as part of maintenance even if they don't pull the latest updates. Newer code can also add vulnerabilities in addition to fixing them. There are also rolling release distros that keep up to date.

  • I haven't looked at any performance comparisons, but better performance also generally means lower resource usage aka lower costs aka less electricity use aka all the positive effects of using less electricity.

    Just imagine if the entire industry cared about efficiency and used more efficient runtimes. How much less power would be used in aggregate? ... one can dream....

  • Look friend. I'm not trying to be confrontational like you think. Your original post legimately comes off as an unhinged rant and makes no fucking sense. TBH I assumed you were drunk off your ass when you posted it.

    You don't have to listen to me, obviously, but you should probably take the universal downvotes on what I suspect would be a popular opinion if it actually made sense as a sign that... Your post didn't make any sense.

  • My first thought would be that it’s the same as using any other browser, so not a great way to be private. Am I wrong?

    It is exactly the same. You can even open the RSS files in your browser directly. They're just XML files served via http(s)

  • Play with cheaters, or play without DRM/Kernel level anti-cheat, pick one. Because you unfortunately cannot have both.

    The answer is to go back to having user run and moderated servers instead of having giant centralized player pools with nothing but automatic moderation. Not everything has or can be sufficiently solved soley by technology.

  • Isn't kernel level anticheat also looking for things like programs that do screen capture and programmatic input? Your assertion that server side anticheat must be implemented for every game is correct but I suspect you're oversimplifying what client side anti cheats do.

  • What anticompetitive practices? This normally refers to things like selling at a loss long enough to destroy fledgling competition and the like. As far as I'm aware, steam just... provides good services that other stores don't?
