There are several different distro's built on asahi IIRC, asahi is more of a Mac platform for distro's than a distro itself if I understand the project correctly.

I feel like malbolge is a much better fit for chaotic evil than brain fuck is but I agree with the rest

I'm still not convinced it's possible to have a cheat proof environment. Kernel anti-cheat is not fool proof, it's just more annoying to deal with than user space anti-cheat. Yes, pairing it with server side stuff will make it even more difficult but if one of the anti-cheats can be successfully bypassed then some amount of cheating is possible and anything running on a user's machine is susceptible to being bypassed because the user controls the environment. Additionally I'm in favor in general of kernel AC being outright banned by OSes. It's honestly far too invasive and it's a race to the bottom the game devs won't win if a cheater is determined enough. You say you're a fan of it only running as needed but it's in your kernel, it's got God access, 1 micro second is too long to allow every game developer on the planet unrestricted access to my computer. Ultimately though client side AC is like DRM, when you expect the software on the user's computer to enforce your rules you will be sorely disappointed. It will raise the bar, it will make some people give up, but it won't prevent it.

I'm not sure you can just have Kernel anti-cheat. There are still bypasses for it, just more sophisticated. At the end of the day cheating is inevitable, it's how invasive do you want your anti-cheat to be.

That is pretty much what it does except it doesn't hardcode \n but instead uses the proper line ending for the platform it's running on.

But it's still not a guarantee

The hand on the kids head is more terrifying than comforting, WTF

Acts like SVN and CVS didn't exist

Huh, that is really bizarre then, reminds me of the times where I'll be chatting in discord about something and then get something related recommended in YT right after even though I can't fathom how that would happen as the 2 aren't connected in any way.

My assumption has always been that Google pays Mozilla for 2 things.

  1. to have them use Google as the default search engine, with this Mozilla doesn't even have to send them your data because you as the user are effectively giving it straight to Google
  2. to keep Mozilla afloat so the US DOJ doesn't claim they're a monopoly because Firefox exists. Ofc that's now happened anyway so we'll see what happens.

I don't believe Mozilla ever sold user information to Google but I of course could be wrong about that. I don't have a definitive answer.

When you searched using Firefox what search engine did you use?

I'm not sure that would've made a difference. It already makes you go out of your way to force a broken package. This has been discussed in places before but the simple fact of the matter is a user that doesn't understand what they're doing will perservere. Putting up barriers is a good thing to do to protect users, spending all your time and effort to cover every edge case is a waste of time because users will find ways to shoot themselves in the foot.
