I believe in everything but the coach.

Hire Bill.

Then turn off nsfw content.

Or turn off media displaying.

You have options that aren't thinking you can dictate how people use instances. Or join/host one that outright bans porn if you want.

Why would you need to go to a NSFW focused instance? I could see complaining about the sub, but the server? That's nonsense.

Valve is on arch.

This isn't steamOS, just customers using Ubuntu.

They also straight up refuse to discount anything meaningfully ever. And actively harass anyone streaming gameplay of their games without their permission, and are extremely litigious about emulation that's clearly established as perfectly legal, among a bunch of other shit.

They're hoping that the current install base will be too lazy to remove their malware.

Hitman.

Fuck the always online shit, but since last time I played they added a rogue lite mode. "Just kill randomly selected NPCs on existing maps" doesn't sound mind blowing (and occasionally a level feels kind of trivial), but the "die and they're on alert, die again and start over without your gear" format combined with limited access to gear really does give a fresh, high stakes feel.

Except they affect the end result.

There are reporting features. In most jurisdictions, accepting reports and acting on them is plenty sufficient to meet any legal obligations, and many consider scanning every message unnecessarily invasive.

I don't, and literally everything on here is public, so it's not identical, but look at the response to Apple's proposed (otherwise privacy preserving) CSAM scanning on cloud photo backups.

The protocol and software don't. It's open source and anyone can use it.

Instance admins can block servers that allow anything that's illegal (or they otherwise believe is inappropriate) .

I didn't watch it all. (OK, didn't realize it was only a minute. I basically saw everything).

But I wonder if it's simpler than that, and it's just doing a better job prioritizing the game. Presumably there's a reason they're doing it while running a heavy background process.

This obviously still has value if it's the case, and is a big part of the point of a scheduler, but the headline implied (to me) that it's a general performance improvement, and the video doesn't demonstrate that.
