If you live in an authoritarian system, it’s not just the government you’re worried about.

This is a bad thing unless the digital currency is also privacy preserving.

Unfortunately, having so much wealth means they can buy the people who decide who gets charged.

Some anti cheat work better than others, and it depends on how much you’d like to play the game that needs it. Plenty of games without.

EAC does not hide its process and you can see it running. If it’s not, perhaps it has left files behind, but that’s a Windows issue more than EAC’s.

there’s no way for users to reliably remove it

I’m not sure if this is true for the ones backed by the larger companies, like EAC. It’s possible to completely remove EAC using their installer.

Games like valorant are filled with cheaters despite using kernel anticheat

In my experience, this is untrue. Valorant isn’t “filled” with cheaters in the same way Apex Legends is.

Lots of other games to play.

But, of course, when China sails two aircraft carriers through Japanese EEZ, it’s Japan’s fault for flying their surveillance too close by.

EVs won’t be cheap for long if there’s no competition.

You generally don’t want to incentivize the practice of dumping since its goal is putting competition out of business.

Maybe if Google asks nicely to make Chrome their default browser…

I’m sorry he put the words “free market” into your mouth when there was none of that in your post. FWIW, Japan would be worse off if cheap rice flooded the market and eradicated domestic rice production.

I’m okay wth it if they also provide free Wi-fi on premises. Otherwise they’d be using my data plan for their business.

I’m not sure patriotism is the right word, but nationalism in an autocracy? For sure.

Snitches get stitches.

So what does it mean in the context of Japan, where employees cannot be fired except under exceptional circumstances?

The phrase “quiet quitting” really grinds my gears. Are you fulfilling the terms of your employment contract? Yes? Then you’re working, and haven’t quit.

It’s very unlikely that a non-domestic cultivar would be the most popular variety in Japan. Anecdotally I hear Koshihikari mentioned often, but I don’t have actual hard figures on what’s the most popular.

I use SyncThing for syncing things, and LocalSend for just sending things.

You’ll need PowerTools for Decky: https://git.ngni.us/NG-SD-Plugins/PowerTools

Passthrough input, or charge limiting? Charge limiting was added after release but that was a while ago.
