@Suiseiseki Can you give us a name?
So what happens if the connection to server is interrupted, I only see three approaches:
1. You trust the client. When the connection is restored server replays what happened on the client and accepts that. Anyone can botch the client and pass anything they want to the server — cheater's paradise.
2. If server deems what was passed from the client as questionable, it just drops it. Gamers will hate it as they lose progress.

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network @Suiseiseki @splitshockvirus No one implements anti-cheat as a serverside-only measure because what are you gonna go if some weird shit happens due to lags or packet loss and you don't trust the client? Just drop everything and pretend nothing happened? No one will play such a game except for free software zealots. But they won't but stupid hats that exist only as in-game items anyway. So no one cares about them. It is THAT easy 🤣

In my photo rainbow is not that prominent, but it has twice as many 😺

@calcifer That is precisely why Matrix, with all its shortcomings is viable in non-free countries like China and Russia, but Signal, however secure it might be, is just a shiny useless app.
If you can't trust your cell provider, using your phone number as your primary ID means it can always be traced back to real you. Of course you can use phone number registered to some other person and a burner phone, but it also has its cons and it's not for everyone.
@katka @volpeon

@volpeon I think they've added this during the Hong Kong protests not that long ago. To prevent the police from using phones of arrested protesters to track others they've had contact with.

@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org Too bad for you 😢
The worst I ever got from games is the feeling that everything kept scrolling downwards that lasted for half an hour after playing Tyrian for about 6 hours.
Oh, that and I tried to avoid playing Dead Space having high blood pressure 😅

@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org Just checking if grass is greener on the other side 😆

@sneak Is it mandatory for other countries to have a verified phone number linked now? 😮
I'm sorry if this is old news, I haven't used my AppleID for 5 years or more. Last time it nagged me with setting 3 "security questions", but at least you could log in using your web browser and disable them right after that. Having a phone number tied is really bad!

@ZySoua What's with putting tangerine on top of its head. This is not the first time I see it, is it some meme?

@cell @kaia Exactly! What's the point in developing this kernel if you can't run it on your newest kitchen appliance?

@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org Yeah, I've seen the trailer/prerelease video so I was expecting it too. Does it live up to its expectations though? Everyone's so hyped up, not that it's wrong, it's a game with cat as a playable character after all 😸
But no real evidence of gameplay and story being really good.
Steam-only is bad though, I've never made an account as the client always segfaulted on me. I'll wait till it's on GOG — should happen sooner or later.

@neural_meduza В московском метро вообще всё живое является гибридом чего-нибудь и свиньи 🐷

@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org Oh, this explains the whole cat person vs. dog person thing — different models of nano chips 😹

@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org Two questions:
Is it good?
Is it on GOG?

@murks I'm not pushing SfOS, I'm sure you have lots of your own reasons to use Android. I'm just testing this app to do something meaningful.
Sorry for using your post as testing grounds 🙏

@murks I'm considering giving up using Android and making SailfishOS my daily driver. I'm using Tooter Beta on to write this comment (and the previous one). It's a community port, but my phone works mostly fine. The apps are scarce, but I don't need much: there is a Matrix client, a Fedi client and the browser kinda works for me. There are kinks to iron out here in there, but it's quite usable.

@murks I use Fennec mostly and only use Bromite WebView as a replacement for Google's implementation. I've tried disabling WebView completely and the only app I use that stopped working was Skype, so I think I'm fine 😄
But yes, it takes time for software on Fdroid to get updated. Sometimes I just go to the github releases page and download the .apk-file. Not sure if it's possible for component like Bromite WebView.
