Yeah, most anticheats are actually just rootkits (running at kernel level with unlimited privileges). This is also a big security issue, some games like genshin impact have also been used to create botnets since there is only one privilege escalation from the game itself to the kernel.

Whenever you use an anticheat, you just have to take the company's word for what they are doing with that kernel-level access.

Here are a few nice ones, I can't really pick:

“Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that the nastiest of men for the nastiest of motives will somehow work together for the benefit of all.” - John Maynard Keynes

(You can also apply this one to proprietary software vs. Free software (don't say open source in my presence))

“The tyrants are only great because we are on our knees.” - Étienne de La Boétie

“Those who do not move, do not notice their chains.” - Rosa Luxemburg

Total wealth of people who died because of titanic: two similarly sized spikes

I made a blogpost about that, and I promise you'll see no ads, no cookies, no JavaScript, just the blogpost.

Because it's a decent competitor to the GitHub monopoly. It also has a few unique features when compared to it. Just guessing why OP uses it though (many people do)

C'mon you've ditched windows but your wallpaper is full of them... /s

Librewolf, icecat, qutebrowser, iceraven, surf... are not chromium-based.

More like "Installing... Do you want avast or X or Y installed along with it?" No thanks, I very much prefer Linux package managers.

Seeing how unethical the company is in general, it would'n't surprise me if the anticheat was just the worst. Even forgetting the anticheat part, I would NEVER play it.

(Unethical is actually a pretty big euphemism here)

Use librewolf instead of Firefox to get rid of the whole spyware part of it. Librewolf only has a single request when starting, to "check for updates". But using Firefox is the second best thing you can do both for your privacy and to fight Google's " Web Environment Integrity" crap.

From my experience:

1. I typed around 60 WPM before on a standard keyboard, now it's barely 25. It may be because I don't use standard keyboards at all anymore though.
2. I learnt colemak with my first split keyboard since it seemed like if I was going to learn a new layout, then I should commit to it entirely. I think keeping AZERTY (since I'm french baguette haha) would have just made me even slower on standard keyboards because there wouldn't be much difference with my normal workflow. Separating the two layouts entirely seems better to me, but you might also say keping the same layout to some extent is better.
3. I went from a full-size keyboard to my monkeyboard, gradually removed keys (left row, top row, inner thumb keys) and now I'm at 34 keys with my triboard. But making the jump could also have worked seems it's a complete change anyway.

Try Linux for a month and you won't even think about coming back.

On X11 Linux, install redshift with your package manager. Run it.

I'm not a distrohopper, but GNU stow is delightfully simple. See my dotfiles as an example.

Use a non-chromium browser son that web environment integrity doesn't work. (Librewolf)

Sorry, I forgot to convert my orgmode formatting to markdown. Fixed it

Yup. gives nickel back

Just ordered the PCBs for my second, custom layout split keyboard, the triboard. I'm also working on a service status watcher + page called swec. It will eventually be able to notify you through gotify whenever your services are down, and maybe even redirect clients to the status page. Some other features include custom downtime messages.

Framaforms + framacalc.

Yup. I started out with a keyboard.
