This impacts more than just cheaters. Rockstar apparently didn't enable Proton support with Battleye meaning many Linux users can no longer play GTA Online. I don't play GTAO but I am not looking forward to when I can no longer play Red Dead Online.

"As we mentioned previously, BattlEye on Proton integration has reached a point where all a developer needs to do is reach out BattlEye to enable it for their title. No additional work is required by the developer besides that communication." source: https://store.steampowered.com/news/group/4145017/view/3104663180636096966

I was a child when I got Weird Al's autograph when he performed at an antique car show with the audience all sitting on grass. He was super nice.

 

Not only will I not spend money at Loblaws stores this month, I will also take $750 away from them by using my points.

Even better is a promotion starts tomorrow that if I spend $60 worth of points, they'll add $20 worth back onto my balance.

I break the spaghetti into 3 pieces before cooking it as then it's much easier to deal with. :)

Better to create your own instance then.

It's about reducing risk not eradicating it and there's a huge difference in risk in being targeted for legal action due to hosting c/piracy (via caching/mirroring) than from a single piracy post in c/hellokitty.

Yeah I agree re opaque policies as if someone can get suspended for this, it would be nice if it was easy to find a policy regarding it. Thanks for your response.

Can you or Laurence link me to the policy saying one can't have both a paid and unpaid app? Or are you asserting Google didn't follow their own policy in this regard?

I appreciate your response and I agree. And likewise nothing wrong with the dev making money and fans supporting that too. (I've seen complaints of some people who think all Lemmy apps should be free...and I feel that's very entitled demanding someone else's time and effort for free, but they too can just use free apps.)

 

I don't like the lack of transparency with how the Google Play Store doesn't list the permissions if one pays for the app and instead only shows the permissions if one doesn't pay.

I generally prefer it when devs release two apps -- a free version and a paid version. This way it's very clear on the Google Play Store what is being tracked in the paid app.

This won't affect me personally, but I am curious if others would be more likely to use and pay for Sync if the permissions were more clear for the paid usage case.

 

I'm Canadian but I expect this sale is on for other countries as well. This also means if you are in the USA -- the price for you to get the Sims 3 bundle is even lower. (EDIT: Note that the bundle doesn't include the Base Game which is required but can also be bought off of steam.)

@1993_toyota_camry@beehaw.org wrote a great post about Slashdot upvotes/moderation which I think makes a good feature request.

Here is the opening line of their post: "this was something I loved about slashdot moderation. When voting, people had to specify the reason for the vote. +1 funny, +1 insightful, +1 informative, -1 troll, -1 misleading, etc."

The post also mentions moderation as well so I suggest a full read.
