And even if the game did greatly benefit from it, most people are already using esync/fsync in lutris/proton/etc. and so they also won’t really see a difference from what they’re used to.

I prefer to stick with the original C version.

What you’re doing is filtering out bots that can’t be bothered to execute JavaScript. You don’t need to do a computational heavy PoW task to do that.

Most bots and scrapers from what I’ve seen already are using (headless) full browsers, and hence are executing javascript, so I think anything that slows them down or increases their cost can reduce the traffic they bring.

Canvas fingerprinting filters out bots better than PoW

Source? I strongly disagree, and it’s not hard to change your browser characteristics to get a new canvas fingerprint every time, some browsers like firefox even have built-in options for it.

Proof of Work is a terrible solution

Hard disagree, because:

it assumes computational costs are significant expense for scrapers compared to proxy costs

The assumption is correct. PoW has been proven to significantly reduce bot traffic… meanwhile the mere existence of residential proxies has exploded the availability of easy bot campaigns.

Canvas fingerprinting would work.

Demonstrably false… people already do this with abysmal results. Need to visit a clownflare site? Endless captcha loops. No thanks

I don’t like the approach of banning nonresidential IPs. I think it’s discriminatory and unfairly blocks out corporate/VPN users and others we might not even be thinking about. I realize there is a bot problem but I wish there was a better solution. Maybe purely proof-of-work solutions will get more popular or something.

Proof? And by what metric? That has not been my experience whatsoever, nor have I heard any complaints about either of them.

xrdp and x11vnc is rootless

I would bet it’s more likely emotional breakdown from cyberbullying.

I refuse to support kitty solely based on kovid’s absolutely deplorable attitude. I lost count of the number of people I personally talked to who wanted to contribute but then decided not to after seeing how toxic and abusive they were to users in the github issues.

to be fair, you can ask the same of many rust devs themselves

I assume they mean non-Xorg/wayland, but I really don’t know for sure.

I don’t consider myself hateful in the first place so I’m not aware of anything that needs changing, but I’m open to constructive criticism.

I 100% agree with you, and my apologies if I came off as hateful, I really don’t think I am, but my problems are only with the people who make it their entire identity as you say, they are just exhausting humans in general and I don’t really care how they want to identify or whatever, I would pose the same arguments to people of any persuasion if there was a sizeable number of them doing it.

By satellite do you mean like a dish physically plugged in with a cable? I wasn’t aware of any “app” used for that on any TV… I just switch the input with the remote to like HDMI/component/RF/etc. and the normal android tv interface goes away completely.

What “TV app” is this exactly? I’ve never seen or heard of that before, and none of my google/android TVs or dongles have anything like that.

Also what make and model TV is this?

By “default app” I assume you mean the launcher. Just google for “android tv launcher”.

If by “plain satellite TV” mean using one of the input sources on the TV (like HDMI, component, RF etc.)… this is unrelated to the launcher and would still work regardless of which one you used.

Sadly, hindsight makes everyone look guilty.

You mean the coward who sent fundraising messages while hiding inside the Capitol on Jan 6?

Then are they really that great? Nobody wants to work with people who are hard to work with…
