I agree, but I think that hurting the companies bottom line is more effective than waiting on an archaic court system to do something. Just look at how slow the /current/ monopoly case on google is going.
Just your normal everyday casual software dev. Nothing to see here.
People can share differing opinions without immediately being on the reverse side. Avoid looking at things as black and white. You can like both waffles and pancakes, just like you can hate both waffles and pancakes.

it would need to be advertised as a change and have it as a setting that had to be set yea, just have it default blocking abusive trackers, having Google bot or whatever it’s crawler name is as on there, with a toggle to allow it again
I mean, with a company as large as cloudflare. I think they could /easily/ strong-arm this move by making blocking google crawlers a default setting on websites. The amount of traffic drop alone from that would make google think twice about the whole ordeal. And people who care about the google search indexers can turn them on again which will allow indexing again. but a default block would cause a lot of disruption google side and many people I don’t think would go in and fix the setting till later on down the road.
I’m waiting for the EU to eventually say “Ok nevermind, this is clearly a company that isn’t going to be compliant. If not compliant by X date this company will no longer be allowed to operate here”
Or a hella massive fine for blatant waste of regulators time plus non-compliance.
makes sense, you make less money on gamepass once established. It’s great for lesser known games and starting out but, when you have a game as big as Helldivers where the name is already out there, putting it on gamepass stifles sales.
The argument here is that they don’t need to open source or switch over to an FOSS license.
They just need to not actively prohibit people from doing custom servers and they need to release their own server files wheb their support period ends.
If that ends with violating a license agreement they have with another company that is exclusively a that company problem because as shown in the past, law supercedes agreement and contracts.
It will basically put branding companies at a either they don’t agree to let their stuff be used in games and not get the money for it, or they decide that it really doesn’t matter all that much if a community project can use their stuff. Simple choice
Definitely keep signing, I’m really concerned at the speed it rose , and I’m really hoping there wasn’t something else at play here.
I mean I wasn’t planning on getting sub 2 after the shitshow that was below zero, the studio is clear they didn’t understand what caused the magic in the first game, and failed at delivery in the second one.
I agree, I set my grandparents doors up on a timer, if its still open at 11 PM it auto closes both doors. I’ve got the ping a few times now saying “emergency door schedule activated” meaning that they were open and had not been closed prior.
I second this, just be sure to backup your settings if you upgrade, it likes to forget things on upgrades I’ve noticed.
it worked for me
Dude, in today’s world we’re lucky if they stop at the manufacturer. I know of a few insurances that have contracts through major dealers and they just automatically get the data that’s registered via the cars systems. That way they can make better decisions regarding people’s car insurance.
Nowadays it’s a red flag if you join a car insurance and they don’t offer to give you a discount if you put something like drive pass on which logs you’re driving because it probably means that your car is already getting that data to them.
This right here is another fault in regulation that eventually will catch up because Especially with level three where it’s primarily the vehicle driving and the driver just gives periodic input It’s not the driver that’s in control most of the time. It’s the vehicle so therefore It should not be the driver at fault
Honestly, I think everything up to level two should be drivers at fault because those levels require a constant driver’s input. However, level three conditional driving and higher should be considered liability of the company unless the company can prove that the autonomous control, handed control back to the driver in a human-capable manner (i.e Not within the last second like Tesla currently does)
I think you might need to reread the rest of my comment, because I think we’re on the same mentality.
I’ve read the article, and I read the last development update, which seemed to be leading in the direction that they had fully intended on making a project.
Their previous update is actually what made me have the mentality that I currently have, not the article you posted.
The previous update was a progress update saying that they were beginning internal testing and they released images of what looked to be a fairly progressed game. And they had seemed super hopeful for the future. That is not an update that screams this project’s on the urge of being shut down.
I stand firm with what I said that this game would have had potential. And while they didn’t make the greatest development decisions, I don’t believe the choice to shutter the project was their choice. That’s a lot of wasted effort for a team like that, and if they lasted this long the choice to close wasn’t theirs.
It’s just the bean counters didn’t like how much it was costing for the game. So once again, what would have been a great addition to the gaming market was squandered due to greed.
This is also why the indie market is starting to take off as well as it is again. Because unlike big corporations and studios, if an indie game starts to show signs of maybe not making a bunch of money, they don’t give a shit and they release the product anyway. Where if a large studio game starts to falter, the parent studio just shuts it down.
Furthermore, with the amount of telemetry that those cars have The company knows whether it was in self drive or not when it went onto the track. So the fact that they didn’t go public saying it wasn’t means that it was in self-drive mode and they want to save the PR face and liability.
I think that’s the longest way I’ve ever seen of “Our parent studio decided this game isn’t financially feasible and told us to stop”.
This project is definitely a parent studio decided that they didn’t like the game, so they decided to cancel it. Especially after Vintage Story proved that that type of game will sell, not at the metrics that a studio like Riot would want, but it would sell.
Judging by the graphics in it that they’ve released so far, it definitely looks like they were a good portion into development as well, which is a shame.
That’s the end user.
Last minute corrective adjustments shouldn’t be legal in a democratic society tbh. I won’t pretend to know about how the EU’s legislative process works but, if this was voted on by the people, and then changed last minute, that’s not what people voted for. I would expect this kind of thing in the US, because the officials commonly accept bribes to neuter or remove things big companies don’t like but, I didn’t expect it from the EU. but maybe thats just my ignorance speaking.
Either way though, I guess take what you can. Still a big improvement
go one step further. If it collides with a surface that is a “player” have the damage be non-repairable. Late game repair skills can be super strong, avoiding that by having a perma damage if a player is detected on the collision would go far.
Be aware, this is VASTLY dependent on your ISP. Smaller ISP’s especially DSL based ones in rural areas are notorious for giving almost exact address when you reverse look up it.
My old ISP used to do that. like I had to try super hard to mask my IP if I went somewhere like IRC or Chatango that disclosed the full address to people joining, because if someone wanted to they could have looked up my address down to the house just by following the remote lookup because it would show my address instead of their nearest hub.
Thankfully now it shows me somewhere in NY which I feel a lot more comfortable with, but still don’t take for granted that it’s only an approximate.
As for actual privacy risks? It really depends on how private you want to get. A reverse lookup will give you your provider, and sometimes as I said above more. And if you have any forwarding enabled they can also try to get through your services using any exploits or misconfigurations you may have.
Additionally, some routers will disclose a worryingly large amount of data if misconfigured, for example ATT modem/routers will give customer information, connected devices(including names) and VOIP phone configurations if you can get the router to think you are a local device or manage to misconfigure the management port to allow external connections. This is all without the requirement of a password/no auth
