- Comment on People considering 'cancelling' new iPhone order after seeing comparison between older generation 1 year ago:
Why someone keeps chasing the latest gadgets when the old ones work just fine it’s 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.

The CEO of Unity was also, CEO, COO, and president of EA.

Or even better: buy soon to expire put options just before the announcement. 10x your money.

- Comment on Unity backtracks slightly on plans to charge developers for game installs 1 year ago:
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!
- Comment on Unity backtracks slightly on plans to charge developers for game installs 1 year ago:
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.
- Comment on Unity has changed its pricing model, and game developers are pissed off 1 year ago:
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.
- Comment on Unity has changed its pricing model, and game developers are pissed off 1 year ago:
They are retroactively charging Devs, so you might actually be in the red after this.
The margins on the gamedev industry are not that large, you should read some testimonies from veterans. It’s a ruthless industry.

I think they are talking about docker containers.
- Comment on The endless battle to banish the world’s most notorious stalker website 1 year ago:
No offense, but keep your patronizing “Anyone who disagrees with me could only have just heard of this article I just skimmed, and not been discussing it in depth for the last week” bullshit out of my replies.
You somehow think that you know how the law regarding digital rights works (and the consequence that precedents may have in court), better than the EFF. Who have 33 years of experience studying and fighting in courts.
Based on how composed you’ve been in this comment section, I’m going to assume that’s longer than you’ve been alive.

Could you please read the whole article before commenting?
It’s incredibly easy for an ISP to point out that they’re not going to block a network for a different reason by pointing out it’s… not the same reason.
No offense, but don’t pursue a law degree, that’s not how things work in the real world. The EFF has a long history of fighting for these sorts of things, they have enough experienced people to know what they are talking about.
A state has enough leverage to push around and ISP to comply, and the ISP gains nothing in opposing.
The EFF deserves to be roundly condemned for this, especially as it has no obvious alternative.
There is. People can be persecuted individually. This has happened in the past without ISPs blocking whole websites.
The position is intellectually dishonest unless you’re actually pro-killing-transgender people.
Speaking of fallacies…
- Comment on The endless battle to banish the world’s most notorious stalker website 1 year ago:
People keep piling up on the EFF without reading that article.
Once an ISP indicates it’s willing to police content by blocking traffic, more pressure from other quarters will follow, and they won’t all share your views or values. For example, an ISP, under pressure from the attorney general of a state that bans abortions, might decide to interfere with traffic to a site that raises money to help people get abortions, or provides information about self-managed abortions. Having set a precedent in one context, it is very difficult for an ISP to deny it in another, especially when even considering the request takes skill and nuance. We all know how lousy big user-facing platforms like Facebook are at content moderation—and that’s with significant resources. Tier 1 ISPs don’t have the ability or the incentive to build content evaluation teams that are even as effective as those of the giant platforms who know far more about their end users and yet still engage in harmful censorship.

The EFF supports persecuting Kiwi Farms, they are just opposed to the dangerous precedent involving ISPs causes.

You can always use one of the publicly hosted instances.
I would personally recommend having your own (since I then you don’t have to trust another party).

You’re welcome!
I wrote a second part on how to add custom filters and redirects (to filter out SEO junk).
- Comment on The end of the Googleverse 1 year ago:
Just use multiple search engines. The less of a monopoly there is, the better.
- Comment on How do people find good information on the internet these days? 1 year ago:
I use SearXNG to search for things, with custom redirects and block lists.
If I want a genuine human opinion on a topic, I add “site:reddit.com” to the search. Hopefully someday there will be a good way to parse the fediverse for info.
