African countries have been flooded by Chinese goods, to the point that it has killed the local manufacturing in Africa. Look it up.
They don’t have the service industry the west has, so the only thing they can offer in return are raw materials, which China is happy to take.
Lemmy seems to hate went a western company exploits natural resources in Africa, but when China does it, they are somehow saving those poor people from the goodness of their hearts.
China isn’t really desperate for cheap natural resources as much as they are desperate for markets to export their manufactured goods.
Thus killing local manufacturing.
Someone should keep an eye on Linus.
Why someone keeps chasing the latest gadgets when the old ones work just fine is beyond me.
Nobody is waiting every year for the brand new line of washing machines. Why is there a need to swap phones this frequently?
I imagine it wouldn’t take long until someone finds a way to disable that LED.
Sounds like the best way to cripple your scientific and tech sector.
Not a blog, but a way of discovering new blogs. I subscribe to the unofficial best hacker news submissions RSS feed.
I found the blog on an IT guy that works in a research station in Antarctica.

Yes the interface is a mess. But it’s ridiculously deep once you get into it.
The CEO of Unity was also CEO, COO, and president of EA. So, is anyone surprised?
Or even better: buy soon to expire put options just before the announcement. 10x your money.

I can have a look in my free time for fun. Will let you know if I manage to do it. 😅
Damn… that’s rough.
Hopefully they’ll backpedal on this decision for now (they are already getting a lot of flack). But I guess the message has been sent. Wouldn’t be surprised if Unity starts bleeding users after this.
Best of luck!
For the studios releasing a game in a few months, it’s probably too late to ditch unity, but would make sense to start looking at alternatives for their next projects.
Wouldn’t be surprised if Godot explodes in popularity in the next 5 years.
According to the article, it’s not retroactively charged, but still bad if your game is about to come out and you haven’t accounted for this.
The margins on the gamedev industry are not that large, you should read some testimonies from veterans. It’s a ruthless industry.
Games take years to make, and you can’t change engines now if your game is about to come out.
People who made it that far up are usually very driven, their job is their whole identity.
It’s probably hard to walk away from something they dedicated so much of their life to. More so if it involved sacrificing time for relationships, family, friends, etc.
How many bureaucrats does that $1300 have to pay before it reaches the ambulance driver?
The US healthcare system is notorious for bloat. Taxpayers pay more for healthcare than countries with free healthcare.
