gollark: Personally, I find not having keepinv very annoying.
gollark: They probably (try and) detect VMs, too, because only !!!!!EVIL CHEATERS!!!!! need VMs.
gollark: Which is very annoying, because apart from the privacy (it can read basically any data and is designed so that you cannot know/see what it does) and security (they could have exploits) implications, it breaks stuff like WINE.
gollark: As I said, lots of anticheat things run in the kernel already.
gollark: Most anticheat things run with ridiculously high permissions, but this one runs *constantly* and apparently does cause slowdowns in other games.
