What would happen if Biden was successful in stopping Trump but then, because we wouldn’t ever keep unfettered presidential power… right? RIGHT? We’re the “good” guys… what would happen if MAGA Republicans won in 2028? I doubt we’d ever have another election again.

From the standpoint of democracy that wouldn’t be ideal, but why is republicans having 2(4) years of unchecked power better? They don’t give a shit and gonna do a lot more damage to it.

Why is it ok when you agree with the outcome and not ok when you don’t?

Because the side coming to power wants to gleefully deport, repress and kill people, and the other one much less so. The good guys are “good” not because they respect the rules, but because they believe in humane values, in ending their fists when the others’ faces begins and all that good stuff. They are bad not because they break the law, but because they believe and want to do fascism.

If the rules are unjust then breaking them is an ethical imperative. And Trump not being in jail is frankly a crime against lady liberty.

Breaking the rules isn’t fascism though. Fascism is fascism.

What do you think is a more ethical choice:

a) uphold the law, knowing it will let fascist come to power and kill thousands

a) break the law and stop him

Ideology is a sociopolitical model of the world. To understand complex system, we have to reduce it to key factors. It’s important to remember that it is a fallible oversimplification, but without one we are lost in the noise, blindly reacting to immediate change.

True, can’t think of how would you combat a cleverly written aim-bot.

Don’t tell the client what’s going on outside its vision, I suppose? Add a small buffer to compensate for latency, so wall hack would be more of a “corner hack”.

I imagine the alternative way to combat kernel-level cheats would be asking player for all his game state data, validating it on a server?

Wouldn’t work on peer-to-peer and you’d have to do a bunch of unnecessary compute(recalculating every tick if player-generated data is possible according to game rules) but its the only way I can think of.

Kinda makes sense? If you’re monarchist, king’s mental state should be your top concern.

If you’re a fascist though you operate on vibes and therefore do not care.

You folks are living in the stone age. In the current millennium, plenty of consumer-grade pre-built planets are available.

All you have to do is occasionally spend your weekend debugging incompatibility of gravity and quantum layers.
