I just use the HashCode class and compare the results.

Pretty sure there’s a source generator for it as well nowadays.

That is completely incomprehensible lol

This argument just doesn’t hold up. Software written by some of the best developers in the world still has these same bugs.

Why even use a language where you have to put so much effort into something that comes for free in many modern languages.

Yeah for sure. Used to be absolutely critical back when things like java in websites was a thing haha

If you’re trying to save as many games as possible and the vast majority are on windows it completely does.

The problem is it’s a tiny fraction of games and users. It’s a lot of resources for little gain.

Semi auto properties and params collection are long overdue. Great to see them in there.

System.Text.Json respecting nullability is also great. But may break some things if you didn’t realise you were relying on the old behaviour.

LoggerMessage source gen using primary constructors fixes a minor pain.

EF generating SQL at compile time is also pretty sweet. Better query performance from precompiled and better startup performance from not having to precompile at runtime.

All in all it looks pretty good.

Because you aren’t a 6 year old and have to use your big boy words in the adult world.

Every time I create a new repo haha I usually just delete the runs and squash the commits so it looks like I got it first time.

Not back peddling you are misunderstanding what kernel access means.

You don’t need kernel level access (the thing we are literally discussing) to kill processes. Which was literally your example.

Obviously the OS handles it. How the fuck else would it work?

It is literally installed by choice. It’s part of the game installation. It’s up to users to know what they are installing. Many games likely install lots of things that aren’t immediately obvious.

It doesn’t infiltrate the system.

Pretty much all code is making requests to the kernel. That isn’t what is happening here.

It’s side stepping the kernel. That’s the whole point. You don’t know what you’re talking about.

Nah words have meaning. I get you don’t like it but that doesn’t make it spyware or malware.

Spyware isn’t about watching your system or memory it’s about stealing personal information.

These anti cheats specifically comply with privacy laws or they wouldn’t be allowed. You won’t find any breaking any laws.

Anti virus and anti malware applications do the same. Doesn’t make them spyware.

I’m a programmer I understand what they are. I understand why they suck.

Stopping processes is actually a user space action. You can do it without admin rights btw. Even if it popped the admin screen that’s still not a kernel level action.

Asking the kernel to do something is basically all operations and not the same as kernel level access.

Yeah that it’s considered malware. I did Google it and there’s nothing saying that.

Source

No it’s literally not what malware is. Otherwise anti virus would be. And anti malware haha

It’s literally none of those things mentioned.

You are doing massive mental gymnastics. Intentionally nasty for an anit cheat is just stupid. You 100% know that’s not what that means.

It also doesn’t invade, damage, disable or take control of the system.

Just because you don’t like it doesn’t make it malware.

How do they steal your data? They also said malware

I’m sure they did and it’s not. Malware isn’t defined by its privileges but what it does.

No

I think it being the 4th one is more the issue really.
