  Key seems valid. I’ll check all the integers for you to see how accurate it is.

  I expect they will be unless they’re small enough to fly under the radar

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unity bans VLC from Unity Store.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup fair point I didn’t know that. Unity presumably does this with dlls that a technical user can easily swap out. In principle an asset store script could do this, but it would be very difficult to verify and enforce so I can see why they’d just ban the license outright as a CYA thing.

  Maybe the answer is to distribute a vlc dll separately and only ship a linking/driving script via the asset store.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unity bans VLC from Unity Store.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  LGPL requires distributing the license with any code. I imagine unity does that with the core code, but it would be difficult to enforce that for assets distributed in their store, which they would be liable for legally. I imagine this will be resolved, but I no longer use Unity so idfc

  Buying land in rural California to potentially incorporate a new town is not remotely comparable to seceding from the United States.

  Half the time another dev asks me a question they either a) haven’t even googled the error message, or b) are trying to offload their work while keeping any credit.

  Definitely help your coworkers when reasonable, but set limits and don’t let yourself be taken advantage of.

  If Linus knew he wasn’t going to recommend anyone buy the waterblock no matter how it performed, but also didn’t want to show it off as a niche ‘supercar’ of waterblocks, then why agree to review it at all? Was he maybe not in the loop at all until shooting the video?
