Whatever metric they use to track installs has to prevent abuse like this

I would be eagerly awaiting a follow-up response from unity from this, because as it stands right now, consensus among gamedev circles is that unity won't prevent abuse at all, which is just awful for multiple groups of people.

  • someone paying for your game and then re-downloading it every hour would cost you $144 a month
  • someone paying for your game and then re-downloading it every 5 minutes would cost you $1728 a month
  • web games exist, and if the Unity Runtime Download metric is used there, well, that is going to be an expensive bill for anyone putting any sense of monetization in their web game

Yes but it would have been nicer to have a transition period in which both methods are supported for a little while so that you don't literally break every extension in existence up to this release

Idk I don't tend to look at the clock when I fall asleep, but I do know that whenever I accidentally fall asleep while watching, say, a PBS spacetime video, I pass out for no less then about an hour

Also I have no clue how the other people here figure out how long it takes them to go to sleep, because as far as I know, looking at the clock just keeps you awake for longer

I just embrace impermanence. Fediverse is not much other than some other person's server, and if the instance owner decides he doesn't want to host his instance anymore, you're just gonna have to cut your losses and move somewhere else. It's not as if the entirety of Lemmy is gonna stop existing at once.

The real threat to Lemmy's existence is the maintenance of the software. If that stops, there are 2 options, either someone forks it, or the medium slowly dies out as no one feels like hosting outdated software anymore.

In that case (which, might I add, is unlikely to happen), you're gonna have to cut your losses, and move to a different type of social media

Even worse is when the bash script you downloaded is only there to do some uname checks and then download and execute more code from the internet

I had almost forgotten about the bad reddit habits when I first made the transition to Lemmy due to being on mostly less popular subs, so I was kinda expecting a tildeverse.org experience when getting here.

Sadly I got reminded of the fact this is a reddit exodus when people kept talking about spez here, and how reddit so shit now, and how Lemmy is superior and just the general sense of everyone patting each other on the back and you know, Lemmy circlejerk.

I didn't join Lemmy just for it to become reddit again :c

I know 5 year old me would have a little trouble sleeping from some of the sounds (example when you pick up an orb) coming from noita, never mind the occasional worm or kummitus jumpscare

Yes but actually not by much, !technology@lemmy.world has 37.7k subscribers, which is their biggest community

Death by:

  • worms
  • spiders
  • your own ignorance
  • acid
  • ukko
  • the connoisseur of wands
  • a little bit of experimentation
  • your own ignorance (it just bears repeating I guess)

IIRC their reason was world got pretty big (still is) and spam was coming to the instance. So beehaw decided to defederate until world solved their spam problem. However, as they say, "out of sight, out of mind" so beehaw may just forget about refederating world if they do fix the spam. Who knows

You know come to think of it, posting trite Reddit memes as a defense mechanism against anyone taking a certain post too serious is not such a bad idea...
