You know what, that's fair.

I saw a lot of discussion in the comments about their workers pay, but honestly, they make a great product. Wouldn't wanna be counting pennies in someone elses pockets. I donated a one time 25 bucks, I hope they will continue to ask for donations whenever they are in dire need of server running money.

"If you are using an iFrame to display a site that isn't yours, even for legitimate purposes, you have no control over that content—it can change at any time," Simmons warns. "One day instead of looking into an iFrame, you might be looking at an entirely different kind of portal."

Holy shit this guy is amazing.

I get it though. People trying to monetize your work which was purposely hosted for free without ads would drive me mad too.

Here's a fun suggestion, how about you unlock the desired players by playing the game? Could even put it into an immersive context, you beat brazil and subsequently unlock their players for your team.

What's so fun about buying a chance to get your player? Is it possibly the shiny colors and the happy soundeffects that are specifically designed to make your brain addicted?

I think the worst part of it all is the trust that is irrevocably broken now.
This is obviously a moronic scummy decision driven by greed, but it also goes directly against past decisions. As per this reddit post, Unity actually had a TOS in action that protected Developers against retroactive changes like this. Specifically, it stated that you could choose to continue using old versions of the engine and comply to the old TOS if an update to the TOS that you disagree with ever happened. This specific part of the TOS was deleted last year.

If they actually try to enforce this new crap on already released games (that accepted an older version of the TOS) then it would seem blatantly illegal (I'm not a lawyer though).

Even if they revert everything by tomorrow, the whole fiasco still shows where Unity's current interests are, and make the company a liability to deal with for any game developer.

Which humans are you blaming exactly?

I don't think it's fair to blame the users. They toggle bluetooth off and think it's off. How are they supposed to know "Bluetooth Off" means "Only some amount of Bluetooth is off"?
And I don't think designing a convincing phishing device is that much of a leap in logic. Bluetooth is off, so maybe the notification is legit from apple and needs authority for a connection?

If you blame the designers who left a backdoor in the bluetooth, then yea that's fair.

"Oh nein, Rechts isst Brot! Wenn du Brot isst, ist das eine Assoziation, die das echt geschmackslos macht."

Nur weil du mit etwas unkomfortabel bist musst du deine Werte nicht auf andere ausweiten (in diesem Fall eine amerikanische Website). Wir können doch nicht gesamte Kulturbereiche einstampfen, nur weil Nazis damals ebenfalls Teile dieser Kultur hatten. Damit berauben wir uns doch so vielen Möglichkeiten.

As of press time, Tomlin had browsed the Steam store while riding to work and bought Hi-Fi Rush, Dave the Diver, and Street Fighter 6, before ultimately just booting up Vampire Survivors again.

Didn't expect to be called out like that first thing in the morning holy shit.

Ever since I realized that people just make shit up on the internet, my life got a whole lot better.

I don't know, that comparison kinda humanizes a corporation that is very much looking to go public and make itself valuable to shareholders. I don't like to think of these websites as "friends".

Yes, reddit's a tragic shitshow, but there is absolutely no guarantee the same won't happen on any fediverse instance either. We should always look out to jump ship if we start to notice like a website is sacrificing user wishes for personal gain.

"Hey, we already have 30 million users in just 3 days! Look everyone how relevant we are!!"

Sure buddy.

Ich finde, Reddit hat hier ziemlich offensichtlich gezeigt was sie vom Protest und von Mods halten:
"Entweder ihr macht was wir wollen, oder ihr fliegt."

Könnt ihr euch noch an den Vorfall erinnern, als (in 2016/17?) spez einmal behind-the-scenes Kommentare editiert hat von ein paar wenigen /r/the_donald Nutzern, weil er die ständigen Beleidigungen leid war? Der Aufschrei damals war riesig. Selbst wenn es "nur" um /r/the_donald Nutzer ging, war dennoch der generelle Konsens "Ein Admin sollte niemals die Community-Stimme zensieren/ändern".

Heutzutage werden ganze Subreddits mit neuen Moderatoren gestaffelt und mit willkürlich erfundenen Regeln bestimmte Einstellungen erzwungen.
Ich bin nicht mehr auf Reddit unterwegs, deswegen kann ich die Reaktion dieses mal nicht ganz ermessen, aber für mich persönlich ist hier der Vertrauen der Community irreperabel beschädigt. Warum sollte noch irgendjemand auf Reddit Kommentare/Beiträge verfassen (ganz geschweige moderieren) wollen, wenn die Willkürlichkeit der Admins alles bestimmt?
Ich hoffe stark, dass so viele authentische Nutzer wie möglich die Seite verlassen, und die Lurker irgendwann gelangweilt werden vom "neuen" reddit.
