Yup. And the moment he steps down (or gets hit by the greed) everything will go to shit. As is tradition.

Oh yeah good point. The word "retroactively" just gave me the idea that it would apply to old installs, because this whole thing is about installs.

Still, that is a major dick move.

I don't think this is true? Their site https://unity.com/pricing-updates says "The fee applies to new installs beginning January 1, 2024"

I've had tons of bugs with it as well. Still usable but annoying.

Considering how often chatGPT gives complete and utter bs answers, I think I'd rather find the info on my own.

It does not increase security per se but it does limit the amount of bots trying to connect to your server. At least it will make your log a bit less cluttered with random garbage.

Also installing something like fail2ban might be a good idea. Or even better would be to block all ssh connections except from a specific ip address (whitelist). This of course depends whether you can trust your ip to stay the same, or if you can still log in through some other interface if necessary.

Even disregarding all bigotry and racism that this screams of, it's dumb af because kids can be friends with FUCKING rocks. It's pretty much their superpower.

I'd be scared to have an account in something with .zip domain. Could be that some big players start to block that domain (Google, isps).

Though I guess you just make a new account if shit hits the fan.

I feel like microtransactions are "ok" for people on general as long as the game is good. If the game is well made, has a soul, and not a cash grab, people tend to not care about microtransactions. Except the occasional "fuck, this is 10e?". Like path of exile for instance.

But if the game is half baked, released waaaay too early because of higher ups said that the need money now and not 6 months from now, THEN they become an issue. Games belong to this category soooo of then these days that it's just what happens. But the microtransactions are not the reason, they just exasperate the issue.

If a great game like Elden ring would've had cosmetic sets you could buy, would it have undermined the "greatness" of the game? I really don't see it happening. Unless they're like super aggressive or meant to trivialise the game, like, continue fighting the boss only for 2e! Here's a popup mentioning this each time you die.

Check Neo Store. It is an alternative front end to F-droid and has been way less buggy for me. Though to be fair just yesterday it ate up 20% of my battery life due to not being able to sync a repo (I think), but that hasn't happened before.

This is why you need to add reddit to the search.

Which is sad as hell.

Don't think so personally. The only reason might be that tech billionaires probably think it is more "their thing" than religion or whatever. Hence, quite bad.
