I’m not an expert, but it sounds like if you finish a session of valorant, the anti cheat never unloads and continues to monitor memory and files.

Easy Anticheat though, according so some sources, only runs during game play.

Riots Anticheat has a bad history though. But both essentially are black boxes that send details both hash and samples back to their owners for them to approve what’s on it computer. Opened a medical record? It’s probably been hashed and sent back.

Opened your employers accounting files when working from home? details you probably sent riot a copy.

Both can be updated. There’s no guarantees that riot won’t do something nasty against a portion of high value targets. They know you from your payment details. They can identify, update the module and get anything they like, they have root.

Anticheat has a history of being a tool for hackers. https://www.vice.com/en/article/hackers-are-using-anti-cheat-in-genshin-impact-to-ransom-victims/

There’s no upside for the user. Mostly because they don’t work anyway.

Just compile your kernel with the anti cheat flags and telemetry enabled from source.

Stretched limousines exist by this very method. I’m Australian but the concept wasn’t started here. https://www.belle.net.au/building-a-stretch-limousine/

Edit:

We do know of limousines that have been shipped back to the USA for failing to meet Australian standards.

I’d say it’s easier in many American states.

Robotics OS, more like a subsystem to fit controlling sensors and motors

Snaps are awesome, I need to be on 20.04, or 18.04 for humble, for ROS noetic and so being able to install generic snaps which are fully up to date with modern software is awesome.

I use Ubuntu for ROS and work specific tasks, but I get the fuck out when I want to game. Ubuntu looks like a job to me. Just like Windows looks like a job to me.

But the thing is, that’s just me. Can’t imagine being mad at someone else for using it, but Ubuntu makes me irrationally mad because it’s associated to work.

Oh you think you exist somehow outside the simulation and are not just a construct of it. The Truman of the show.
