I don't understand your viewpoint.

I suspect you understand it pretty much perfectly, you just don't think the underlying premises of my position are correct.

Wales has never received compensation from the Wikimedia Foundation.

Buying an expensive sportscar in the name of the foundation and then using it as though it were a personal car wouldn't show up as compensation.

I tried finding more, but the accusations against Wales are mentioned on the wiki page for wiki controversies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedia_controversie...

Maybe it's just accusations, although I remember reading articles as well. Although maybe if Jimmy was more transparent about where his wealth came from, and maybe if Wikipedia didn't disingenuously and constantly beg for money despite having a surplus, I'd be less skeptical.

Yes, when it comes to face scanners at the airport. You’re standing in front of a government camera for a driver’s license or student id and it can (and likely will) take the same image data that the TSA cameras do.

This is wrong. The TSA cameras are steroscopic and capture significantly more detail.

Additionally, there is no oversight or information given about how that data will be used, sold, how long it will be kept for, etc.

If you want to be entirely complacent that's your choice. But it isn't 'silly' for those of us that understand what's going on to oppose it, and it's disingenuous to easy because we have drivers licenses there is no reason to oppose it.

Congress has been taking a long hard look at Clear and might consider their practices and business model to be illegal, as they rightfully should.

in the most plain and obvious Kafkaesque "he did provide the facescan willingly your honor. not once he opted out, which was always an option".

Wouldn't that be Orwellian? Which Kafka story did I miss?

I also have a cardiac implant, if they try to tase me I might even end up dead.

Aren't tasers certified not to interfere with pacemakers and similar things?

They flipped through their TSA state ID binder and did the customary comparison

Wait, what is this? I've never seen anything like that, normally they just check the name on the ID matches the boarding pass.

You're saying they literally had a book of all state IDs?

I don't have to agree to a thing.

Sure, you don't have to agree the earth isn't flat either. But then, as with here, you'd be entirely wrong.

We're not about to sacrifice our power and freedom for the sake of preventing cheating in video games

Sure we are, gladly. Maybe not you or me, but most people absolutely.

If you want to play AAA games, that's the compromise. Until they release limited gaming PCs that are basically consoles.

we're going to impose some of our terms and conditions on these things.

I doubt that but wish all the best. It won't change that the consumer end needs to be locked down to prevent cheating though.

If you know the answer why are you asking the question?

the Wikimedia foundation does (find ways to spend the money and keep asking for more),

I remember reading an article about that, how Jimmy Wales was driving super expensive sportscars around and such - it made me pretty much resolve to never donate to them. Ever.

Not withstanding the super aggressive please for cash every September or whenever they do it.

Is Jellyfin an all in one solution for media management and streaming?

I normally just use transmission and serviio (vastly superior to Plex IMO), and only recently found out about sonarr, radarr, etc.

Really though, is there not any 'all in one' solution, instead of all these various programs chained together? I get keeping the serviio bit separate, and maybe the torrent client, but the rest could easily be integrated into one app.

Microsoft has a very solid point here. MS has wanted to kick AV vendors out of kernel space for a long time because it isn't necessary, and can lead to the type of incident we are talking about here.

MS provides a userspace interface[0] for AV vendors to do what they need to do, but they can't be forced to use it.

So yes, due to EU regulations, AV vendors can still play in kernel space, and can bring much of the world to a halt when they make a mistake as a result.

If their game runs on my machine, then cheating is my prerrogative. v

Sure.

However, due to the nature of how these games work, cheating cannot be prevented serverside only.

So, if you want to play the game, you have to agree to install the anti-cheat because it's the only way to actually stop cheating.

The *only other alternative is to sell a separate category of gaming machines where users wouldn't have access to install cheats, using something like the TPM to enforce.
