Presumably that will work like test flight does where you can only install the app through an invite system
- Comment on 4chan and Kiwi Farms Sue the UK Over its Age Verification Law 3 days ago:
What are you talking about?! Apple was forced to follow EU regulations and allow side loading, they complied by only making it available in the EU. “This is wrong” and you’re just spouting nonsense. If I want to do business in your country I need to follow your country’s regulations, this includes customer and worker protections.

To what end? Are you putting together a tier list? They should all be equally admonished to the highest order, that’s the point.
- Comment on Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year 4 days ago:
Which is just the loophole they’re trying to use now to assert control. This is just technicalities, the end result is that if you want to make apps for others to install they want to be the final say on you being allowed to do that or not.
- Comment on 4chan and Kiwi Farms Sue the UK Over its Age Verification Law 4 days ago:
Convenient you’ve specifically not quoted the circumstance in which that should apply. This is companies which serve UK customers in the UK, the fact their servers are offshore and the company is offshore doesn’t matter, they’re doing business in the UK by being made available there and thus must be bound to those laws.
- Comment on 4chan and Kiwi Farms Sue the UK Over its Age Verification Law 4 days ago:
Yeah man they have an obligation(duty) to uphold British law when dealing with British citizens, how’s that hard to grasp.
- Comment on 4chan and Kiwi Farms Sue the UK Over its Age Verification Law 4 days ago:
Your original comment was about the UK overreaching and policing companies from outside the UK how to do things. You got a reply on how the gdpr does the same thing (please, no one actually implied the legislation itself starts sending out emails, have the basic decency to understand the implication that it’s the EU and UK through GDPR that are pursuing things legally).
It’s not possible for the EU to fine companies in non-EU countries. They could issue a fine but they have no power to enforce or collect the fine.
I don’t know why you seek to make the distinction between “fining” and “issuing a fine”, the point was the UK is not the only one trying to do it. Whether it’s successful or not is not the point. Also they can totally enforce the fine by restricting those businesses from doing business within their territory until they comply. I don’t know how you could get it more wrong.

Fine companies in other countries for failing to uphold the law when working with citizens protected by said law.
- Comment on Let Google know what you think about their proposed restrictions on sideloading Android apps. - Android developer verification requirements [Feedback Form] 4 days ago:
This is just a way to capture negative feedback in a way that leaves you feeling like you did something while impacting none of their business. Make noise on social media, not feedback forms. Make them hurt.

Finally, good for Rei, was getting tired of them milking that interaction out lol
- Comment on Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year 5 days ago:
It’s effectively becoming the gate keeper in the same way apple only allowing app installs through its app store only is a gate keeper.
- Comment on Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year 5 days ago:
It’d be up to Google to do so, and they probably will just as an example of them totally not being a monopoly “look we even allowed a competing store”.
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 1 week ago:
After reading most of these comments I’ll have to say this comment resonated the most with me. It’s exhausting to always be the one who needs to put in effort to talk to new people, and then you need to maintain it pretty much one sidedly as well, you end up just giving up on it and looking more for good friends to rely on than romantic things.
I’ve heard from female friends that there are women also dealing with this so it’s not a uniquely male thing, but social norms have sadly made it so and it really gets to you as a guy when you’re not also being pursued by people. I’ve seen some nice clips tangential to this asking women when was the last time they bought flowers for a guy and some of them couldn’t think of an instance, it’s rough out there, and unless you’re at the top of your game it’s a huge struggle, and with the economy as it is a lot of people people rightfully are, but as you say women are usually better trained to work together on this stuff, whereas guys largely aren’t and suffer alone as a consequence. I’m lucky to have some good male and female friends I can open up to, but I definitely feel like the exception on that.
- Comment on My petty gripe: forced software updates just make everything worse 1 week ago:
Well updates are “maintenance”, I’m arguing against someone who seems to think the code should be flawless from the get go and being any lesser and requiring updates is an issue of the developers.
- Comment on My petty gripe: forced software updates just make everything worse 1 week ago:
Processors change, libraries become deprecated or vulnerable, design paradigms shift, and new integrations become possible that weren’t there when the application first launched. Should we blame old house builders for using asbestos when they didn’t know how poorly that would end up?

Oh that’s interesting, I’ll give it a try, thanks!
- Comment on Famous VPN company Mullvald says it will no longer use OpenVPN 2 weeks ago:
A bit annoying for all the things that don’t support openvpn, like old Synology NAS devices.
- Comment on This website is for humans 2 weeks ago:
They did have a lot of concerns with abuse though and you can see that in the way the cookies debate went before they were supported in their current form. I think AI crawlers tanking bandwidths for websites and misusing the data they scrape would 100% be something the Mozilla from back then would’ve had concerns over allowing or encouraging.

You should find a cheap steam controller :p
- Comment on Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout? 2 weeks ago:
Ah yeah I see. Tbh I rarely use it myself but i only play pc games at my desk so I can always use my mouse.
On gyro it’s rare to find controllers without one these days I think unless it’s like a super cheap 10 gbp controller

What features are deal-breaker when missing for you? More than 2 back buttons?
- Comment on Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout? 2 weeks ago:
8bitdo pro 3
- Comment on Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I’m eyeing the controller op mentioned, 3 trigger buttons + 2 back pedals that I can customize via steam input is the dream. Most 3rd party controllers only let you map to existing buttons on the controller
- Comment on Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout? 2 weeks ago:
I know this is a software solution but if this is for steam there’s an option under controller settings to use a Nintendo layout. I can appreciate the issue more though when you predominantly grew up playing a different platform from the one you’re playing now
- Comment on Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout? 2 weeks ago:
It also has a switch to toggle the triggers to either let you slowly pull on them or act as buttons, comes with some longer sticks as an option, and an instant disconnect button. I bought it a while back and the build quality is pretty decent, and looks pretty.
- Comment on Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout? 2 weeks ago:
It’s probably just more costly on the manufacturing side. More molds, more pieces to work with, modular structure etc etc. I also think it’s not as impactful, not sure about you but I’ve developed enough muscle memory to not even look at the front facing buttons, as long as I have Xbox button layouts in games, even with playstation controllers lol
- Comment on Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve had the complete opposite experience. So many third party controllers offer hall effect joysticks, macros, back pedals, options for linear or button triggers, etc at a much lower cost than first party controllers. The only thing they’re missing is the dual sense motors but that’s proprietary.
I recommend checking out the 8bitdo controllers linked in the article, and the FANTECH WGP14-V2 which you can find on AliExpress.
