They’re upset with Epic and their exclusives

facepalm

<…> their shitty storefronts that have extremely limited features by comparison.

Have you used Steam in the early days? It took 5 years before they added basic community features.

Plus we all know the decreased commissions is just their way of attempting to gain market share, as opposed to just making a better product.

A better product means nothing if you have no users. Case in point all the enshitified platforms that still exist to this day.

Steam is far from perfect, but it’s also far and away the best option we have.

Only option. That’s the ultimate issue, which you prefer to ignore.

This is not new, but it’s well sourced and easily digestible for most people. The issue is that Valve has de facto monopoly and when Epic Games (even selfishly) tried to address that issue gamers went for their throat instead of cheering.

There are small storefronts that exist in the background, but they are either indie only like itch.io, Game Jolt or run by a publisher with primarily their catalog like GOG, Origin, Uplay (or whatever it’s called now), Battle.net, etc. And even then many of them eventually become available on Steam because that’s what gamers ask for. People are too stupid to help themselves, so unless some regulations force a change, we are stuck with this.

<…> managed to exit it first time <…>

That is not possible…

Added to the post body.

We know that to be true. After previous Israel’s war crimes, in 2009 UN conducted an independent review called “Goldstone report”, which proved Gaza’s death counting was extremely accurate.

Only in UK English, US English doesn’t.

The rest of the planned lineup for this generation will be in 2025 Q1/Q2.

Twitter, before it was bought by Elon Musk, had a policy regarding hacked materials — but the page is no longer available. A pre-Musk version of the policy, dated 2019, stated that posting or linking to hacked content is prohibited. Under this policy, links to a story by The New York Post about Hunter Biden, the current president’s son, were banned. But in October 2020, Twitter changed its policy to say that it would no longer block hacked materials, after an outcry about how the company had handled the Post story. “Straight blocking of URLs was wrong, and we updated our policy and enforcement to fix,” wrote then-CEO Jack Dorsey.

So which is it?

The flaws also exposed car owners’ sensitive personal information, including their name, phone number, email address, and physical address, and could have enabled attackers to add themselves as a second user on the targeted vehicles without the owners’ knowledge.

The company does not distinguish between how many posts were removed and how many were labeled.

Best kind of transparency.

Yeah, worse than Google/Apple app store’s 30/70 split which is already a robbery.

Mostly it comes down to hypocrisy. He’s been a vocal critic of identical “products” in the past when released by other companies, but now suddenly everything is fine when it is him doing it.

That’s straight from the mouth of Rabbit founder Jesse Lyu, who gave the number to Fast Company <…>

They are only pro-consumer when it doesn’t evolve Big Tech. They are owned by Big Tech…

If she was masterful, there wouldn’t be anything to overturn. But it already happened, and most lawyers say it will happen again in relation to the documents case.

Her corruption just delayed everything, not actually stopped it.

What are the chances this gets overturned on appeal in the future due to judicial incompetence leading to material errors?

There are non-FOSS alternatives to Unity. For tinkerers, sure, it doesn’t matter. But if you plan on releasing a product, the licensing of your engine starts to matter a lot more. The question should really be, is there trust left in Unity? Even using a less powerful or more expensive engine, might be a better option across your product lifetime, depending on the licensing terms or them being changed retroactively (that really should be fucking illegal, but oh well).

Criminal racket 101. Regulations are created so that companies would be forced to pay politicians to bypass those regulations.

While MoneyGram has not shared what type of attack they suffered, the extended outage and loss of connectivity to systems is indicative of a ransomware attack.

Considering MoneyGram’s massive customer base, a potential data breach on the company could have far-reaching repercussions for many people.

I’m not sure if it’s spelled out in the ToS, but there is no way to prevent pull requests on public repos, it’s a functional requirement.
