Not trolling at all. I’m a game developer, so I was curious to hear about instances of game devs using kernel level anticheat to harvest people’s personal (and identifiable) data to sell to data brokers.
Glad to know there aren’t any examples of it outside of people screaming about capitalism - which is, let’s be honest, quite indicative of the Lemmy experience these days.
So by that logic we shouldn’t be downloading any precompiled binaries from the net - they could all be spying on us!
Can you name an instance of a game company doing that?
Good. The fault is absolutely on Epic for not putting in proper confirmation dialogues for spending resources tied to real world currency.
And, as a former f2p/mobile game dev, I don’t buy the argument of “we didn’t know that would happen!”. They absolutely knew, and were trying their luck.
Thing is, they most likely made a lot more in erroneous purchases than what they have to pay in reimbursements (think people accidentally pressing a button, making an erroneous purchase, then choosing to “live with it because the amount was small anyway”)… So, in the long run the deceptive practice probably paid off for them.
Though, I hope this lawsuit dissuades them from trying it again.
Disclaimer: I know nothing about Epic’s finances, so any assumption made above is just that: a baseless assumption, backed only by the fact I’ve had many similar experiences.
I’m with you. I’m curious how it’ll go.
The response is less of a response, more of an explanation of their current feelings pertaining to matrix. Seems odd when Matthew made some clear, individual points that could’ve been addressed.
Except the premium offering pretty much just relates to media upload limit. I’m honestly surprised that they even allowed people to upload as much as they do.
Makes sense to limit free users (will also help with spam) if they’re not drowning in VC money.
It doesn’t affect you in the slightest, other than it might further fund Synapse’s/the spec’s development meaning your server might get new features.
Yes, this would be a great feature - but it’s a big issue to implement. It’s talked about in this video, worth watching if you’re curious about it.
As far as status go, this issue on the matrix spec is what you want to follow.
I consider it significantly more civilized to pre-cut meats and fried foods. (reduces the requirement to use gaudy steak knives on a table - especially with fried foods)
To each their own, but it definitely hasn’t lost its food porn status over that - if anything, I think the slices have elevated it.
Edit: Welp, looks like I’m dying on this hill.
Edit 2: Here’s a photo of some steak and mushroom pasta I made the other day - notice how the steak is pre sliced. I don’t care about the down votes, I’m here eating my food with nothing but a fork and a smile.
Cool. Thanks for the contribution to the discussion!
OP is a fan of a game, and is excited for its release. So excited that OP is making in-jokes from that game’s fan-community without regard for whether the references are understood or not.
All the Japanese ones are like this - referred to as “Washlets” in Toto’s case. Iirc the bidet terminology can be problematic in the EU as bidets are technically what they use in Italy.
Good luck finding one, but Toto definitely sells them there, too! See here for more info.
I use a Toto Washlet C2. I live in an old apartment that only has the classic “round” styled seats (to save space), and this works with that.
Couldn’t recommend it more. Has a self wash, but I still wash it every couple of months by hand.
No dirtier than a normal toilet, and the premist functionality reduces stickage and the amount I need to clean.
No need to get an ultra fancy toilet, and this model (the c2) has all the fancy features at a relatively low price (no detachable remote, no profiles, no instant water heater) (I don’t think any of those are worth the extra cost).
Your “the only way” argument is literally how they are all sold. Maybe do even the lightest bit of research before declaring you have no option but to continue doing the worst thing possible?
“We’ve done nothing and we’re all out of ideas!”
Edit: Reading this back I was kind of mean. Obviously you’re entitled to your own preferences, but bidets have solved most of those problems already and are definitely worth checking out.
It doesn’t.
It has features for video/voice calling - E.g. Background blurring and stuff like that. It just lacks the stuff that would make it usable for gaming.
Works great if you don’t want/need PTT.
I meant for video. The classic coturn connection is fine for voice - though I wish it had push to talk. 🥲
Or they could choose to host their rooms on some existing server, I guess.
I mean, that’s sort of the point, right? Don’t host unless you want to.
There are lots of great, long lasting servers with open registration out there. This blog post has some good examples:
That’s because most of them are playing F2P video games on their mobile devices.
