So hostile. Have you considered that some people just use Lemmy for memes and have other means of keeping up with the dystopian nightmare bullshit du jour?

Same for software development. Create a ticket or piss off, I will not do undocumented/uncredited work.

Meh what’s the difference, a digital nonsense machine or an IRL nonsense machine, both with 0 accountability

True, but I would rather buy a dozen quality $0.99 games with high replay value (still fun 13+ years later) than several dozen “””free””” ad-filled games that constantly bug you for a $3.99/week subscription to get more BullshitCoins

No they didn’t. I have a 1st gen iPad loaded with old versions of popular games (e.g. Jetpack Joyride, Angry Birds) and there are literally zero ads and in-app purchases.

Don’t forget to check out the Bob Loblaw Law Blog!

This reads like something Mark Corrigan would say on Peep Show lmao

You basically just described it. Amazing show, very much recommend watching it.

Many people keep asserting that DuckDuckGo is as useless as Google, but I haven’t had a single issue with it. Could it be a regional thing?

Sounds like a data leak that should be reported…

Ironically, this was contadicted in the same documentary by the Half-Life devs when they were talking about Xen and how they were aware that it kinda sucked but the deadline was coming up…

Devil’s advocate: basically the only proper way to figure out how people are using your product and how you can tweak it to achieve its goal is by firing events and including relevant metadata such as how much time they spent on a screen or how far they scrolled. Telemetry is not necessarily “evil” by default.
