Question: A few weeks I saw pass by on the Mastodon TL a concise, technically inclined blog post explaining anti-cheat software in Windows gaming and why you don't find it working on Linux. The author's Mastopost about it used some specific wording like "This describes the world as it is, not as we want it to be". I am trying to find this to link it to a friend. Does anyone know what this post might have been?
