Can’t say I’ve ever heard that, but I also have to chuckle at the idea of an omnipotent, omniscious, omnipresent, primordial entity that preceded all creation and being a force of nature unto itself having a gender at all.
America was not in the Bible. Hot Dogs were not in the Bible. Fireworks were not in the Bible. The constitution was not in the Bible. The second amendment was not in the Bible.
If these things are so good, yada yada…
My mother also talked about how one of the disciples died by being crucified upside down. Not only is this not in the Bible, the particular piece of literature describing the event never actually said he died.
I started enjoying the Bible in the same capacity someone enjoys Lord of the Rings or Dune. In doing so, I’ve 1) found it easier to read, and 2) found some certified gangster moments, like David holding up a piece of cloth to Saul and essentially going “coulda killed you in your sleep, biatch”
I’m digressing. Point is, these people have never actually read the Bible. They pretend to have, but they haven’t. To be fair, it’s a piece of literature so dense it makes Shakespeare look like Flake chocolate, but fuck…
There were a series of accusations about our company last August from a former employee. Immediately following these accusations, LMG hired Roper Greyell - a large Vancouver-based law firm specializing in labor and employment law, to conduct a third-party investigation.

Yeah, that’s… people need to stop prescribing Linux to solve everything from minor glitches ti major cloud outages to marital issues and erectile dysfunction…
There’s thousands of machines in my hospital. They’re staying on Windows. They’re fully invested in the Azure ecosystem, and for what it’s worth, it works well, but that’s after what I imagine is hundreds of thousands, maybe millions in investments. This is what makes me wonder if we home power users just aren’t the target demographic anymore. They know Proton is catching up super quick, and I’m not sure they’re willing to compete. Is it even worth it for them?
Just want to preemptively state: THIS IS A RHETORICAL QUESTION. NONE OF US ARE QUALIFIED TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION.
Same with any game, “how hard is it to detect cheaters‽”. Turns out, very.
Being an engineer, you’ll know that the amount of shit that has to go right to get a single pixel to glow is pretty crazy, some when armchair dickheads that have never written so much as a Hello World say shit like “it’s not that hard!”, it just…
I can’t answer for Psionix, because… I don’t work for Psionix. But having worked on other projects, I can tell you that a fully-authoritative server (that’s the word you’re looking for, btw) is not the end-all-be-all of anticheat. Every game has different levels of mechanical complexity, logical complexity, and a myriad of other variables that factor into what type of architecture is used in online games, and that a fully-authoritative server not only isn’t feasible for all projects, but also isn’t a silver bullet against cheaters.
So forgive me for not knowing the term, but there’s a type of attack that waits to send commands until after packets have been received whose data provides an advantage. For instance, a bot could simply wait until it receives the position of your opponent, calculate how far to turn the player to aim, then tell the server “I’ve moved the mouse in this vector”
A bit like playing rock-paper-scissors, but waiting until you opponent shows what they’ve chosen before making your own decision.
