I think that’s the guy who just won the election in Argentina

I’ve been told many times that China controls Reddit and that’s a 5% stake, so …

They can’t. It’s unenforceable.

You can block a service from establishing outbound connections while allowing it to respond to inbound connections. It’s pretty common to do this because server software generally has no business calling out unprompted.

You don’t want the service to create arbitrary outbound connections, but you want your device to be able to communicate with the service.

It’s been a while since I’ve done network stuff, but it sounds like a pretty simple textbook problem.

A self-hosted service requires local network, not internet

You don’t have to audit code to ensure it doesn’t call home.

Ridiculous take.

There’s a vast difference between using a cloud service that definitely spies on you, and a self-hosted solution that you can ensure doesn’t.

I’d discuss options with the HOA, but you do you.

Why would you say something so blatantly silly?

Are you implying that helping birds avoid windows is an unsolved problem?

Wtf. Would you please do something about that?

Going by OP’s name and post history… absolutely

And then an asteroid hits

It’s characters from a popular TV show as knitted figures.

Which works were sampled for this?

You could get up and do something about it right now.

In the sense that it applies to games already released, but not to previous installs. Allegedly. One of the main problems with all of this is that detecting only “valid” installs is a very hard problem, if not impossible. Unity’s attitude seems to be that devs just have to trust their numbers.

Additionally, some devs are reporting that they’ve been offered a pass on all this bs, if they switch to Unity’s own ad platform.

Unity changed the license, so developers have to pay a fee for every install of games made with Unity. Notice that it’s “install”. Not “sale”. Not “download”.

They claim they won’t count installs from demos, cracks, charity bundles, re-installs, etc, but absolutely no one trusts them at this point. Several devs have said they’re switching engine, despite the large cost of that.

Pathetic
