And this is why releaser gap should by wider than sustenance is tall.

I'm wondering the same thing for Valve and Gabe Newell.

There needs to be a ban on any judge presiding over something within at least one or two degrees of separation of relationships with said judge. Any direct relationships, either direct relatives or friends or direct investment, and possibly second degree relationships like a relative or friend being invested, or a relative/friend of a relative/friend.

I mean, if this is basically Twitter's Community Notes feature, but for YouTube, I'm all for it. Bit of a balancing act, but it's the last thing that hasn't been completely wrecked now that Twitter became Xitter.

My personal favorite is Ctrl+Shift+C which brings up Dev tools in selection mode, so you can click on the picture or whatever and be taken straight to its HTML code.

Because it's great at killing things, including human skin. Seriously, my local gym has people practically sign their life away before letting them into a UV-A/B tanning booth. No way are you putting the even worse UV-C bulbs out in public. That's how people got their retinas fried at a crypto conference in Hong Kong last year.

If the TV is VESA compatible, there are tons of third-party stand options.

They really want us to cancel? My family only barely decided to keep Netflix after they last raised prices, and now they're doing it again.

The one annoying thing about Lemmy over Reddit, is that you'll open a link from somewhere on the web and the Lemmy Instance's site loads instead of your preferred client app. Sync already supports around a hundred instances but there's way more out there than that. However, there is a solution! Fediverse Redirect acts as a middleman that keeps an up-to-date list of basically all Lemmy instances, and then redirects all of them to your client of choice, including Sync! Just install the Lemmy Redirect app via APK or their F-Droid repo, and then follow the directions in the app to setup the redirects and which client to point to. I used the Shizuku method personally, but there is a manual settings method and a LinkSheet middleman method as well. No root or Magisk is required for any of the methods.

They also have a Mastodon version that does the same thing, but for Mastodon instances and clients.

Ad blockers don't even modify websites usually. Many just block web requests to certain domains and addresses. You can't force people to load stuff, that sets a dangerous precedent for protecting against malware. Glad this German court saw reason.

It's kinda amazing how Unity shot themselves in the chest with this one. No, I don't mean foot, they are now actively bleeding from the torso.

No Dev or Publisher is going to be okay with this, none. This basically leaves Devs on the hook for unlimited liability. Even with their walk back of "only initial installs" doesn't help. I myself have both a Desktop and a SteamDeck. That's possibly two installs out of the gate from one customer. Then any time I make an upgrade in the future, or heck maybe even switch Proton versions on my Deck, the Dev could be on the hook for more cash. There's zero transparency with how these "installs" are detected or counted, so there is no way to budget or plan for the expenses.

Businesses hate unpredictable fees.

They'll deal with utilities upping rates, because who are you gonna switch to in a monopoly? But if you're just a tool for them, they'll ditch you as soon as they're able and never use you again.

And again, publishers will care about this too, since their whole job is distribution. Any Dev looking to sign with a publisher, even a subscription service like GamePass, will now be asked which engine they're using, and I bet you 9/10 times the Dev will get rejected if they're using Unity now. That puts even more pressure on Devs not to use Unity.

Unity will price gouge their existing customers(Devs), but will ensure that nobody ever buys their product ever again. At this point I doubt their reputation will ever recover even if they can walk this back. The fact that they believe they can unilaterally add enormous fees at the drop of a hat means they've ruined any trust their customers had in them.

Unity: I can charge you any fees I want, any time I want.

Roblox is a sandbox game sort of like Minecraft, but with way more power given to third-party developers and users to develop and distribute content in it. What you'd consider mods for other games are the whole point of Roblox, and MTX can be implemented by those third-party developers using "Robux" as a currency. The MTX can be your usual MTX fare of skins and power-ups, but also often abused for less ethical purposes, like gambling mechanics. The fact that Robux can be cashed out for real money via official and unofficial methods mean that's it's ripe for abuse.

Update: Also, I wasn't aware of this before the article, but apparently gambling sites have figured out a method to link a Roblox account to their external sites, and then use the user's Robux wallet as currency in their illegal online casinos.

I was digging through some stuff and stumbled on this. To think it's been 15 years. Crazy what you used to be able to get a free CD of back in the day.

Every time I'm in Desktop Mode this pops up. It seems to be spawned by Steam Proton, though I'm not sure why since it happens even before I launch a game or software. Can't figure out what exact process is running it. Hitting install either fails checksum, or nothing happens after it finishes the download, and then it just pops up again. Any ideas?
