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…

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.

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).

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.

You have to make a fork aka copy and modify to contribute via pull requests. The license is fundamentally broken.

They are not the ones running the poll. The poll is from https://www.extremescan.eu and https://www.chronicles.report.

Only in EU, the rest of the world is still stuck with WebKit. Apple geo locked App Store, so it only works for EU users.

If they were park rangers, sure, but a random career government bureaucrat has no enforcement authority here.

The bear was killed Thursday afternoon in the northwest of Iceland after police consulted the Environment Agency, which declined to have the animal relocated, Westfjords Police Chief Helgi Jensson told The Associated Press.

Environment Agency is to blame here, not the cops.

I would agree if it was outside of Japan. But since we are talking about Japanese courts, more precisely Tokyo courts, this has huge likelihood of success.

Don’t take this as an insult, but you really need to come back when there is an independent audit that confirms the claims. Verifying cryptography is not something even a tech-savvy person can do, even if the source code is available.

It literally doesn’t matter what you use on iOS, as everything uses WebKit.

Your proposal seems to target the same issues as with multi-community support https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/818, which just got 6000€ funding from NLnet. Which seems to be a cleaner way of achieving the same goal.

Some suggested points are also against ActivityPub standard.

It’s fun for a while, but for me, it lacks the replayability. I have ~50ish hours in there, but after that I just couldn’t stay engaged. Even tried again after a bigger patch, still couldn’t hook me in.

Her unique talents are expected to be utilized within the Israel Defense Forces, where she is likely to serve as a performer, showcasing her musical abilities for fellow soldiers as part of the military’s cadre of exceptional artists.

Indeed.
