"trust me, bro" I imagine there will be a lot of disputes around billing, as in, ever single bill from this system.

Oof. So they are doubling down rather than taking the feedback and making changes based upon it. I do not see much growth in Unity's future.

I took a wait and see approach to the IronSource merger. I hoped for the best while expecting something like this. That said, Unity blew my expectations out of the water. I’m fully expecting enshittification of the Unity Editor next.

The messaging from Unity around this has been completely confusing. They use different terms and don’t define them in various places throughout the announcement and FAQ. It is a disaster trying to consume this announcement and make future p

You probably wouldn't need to install the entire game, possibly just install the first bits and then cancel. I'm sure our wonderful friends over at 4chan and other places full of honorable, upstanding citizens will come up with s

Ads are a technological cancer that seem to have no cure in sight. It is really frustrating how ads have ruined so many good products/platforms.

If you haven't looked into it yet, GitHub Actions is relatively easy to setup for Unity builds and, for us, it cut build times more than in half (60+ min to ~20min). GHA isn't cheaper per minute, but it is much faster and you can

I’m wondering the opposite. Could a developer block the phone home call signifying a new install. I’m sure someone will try it.

Sounds like I need to start a betting pool as to when ads will come to the editor. Ugh, this whole thing is so frustrating. I’d love to cancel our unity projects and port to godot or unreal, but that’s just not possible in the near term. Un

Advertisers poisoned the well. All ads must be blocked.

Yes. Many speed limits are set lower than they need to be. On many roads, including freeways, the average speed of traffic is higher than the speed limit. Driving the speed limit on these freeways is dangerous. Additionally, many speedome

Just so that I'm very clear in my points, my anger and outrage is directly entirely at CPUC. I don't expect companies to have my best interests in mind, but I do expect the government to serve me and not PG&E, SDG&E, etc.

This is pure regulatory capture. Plain and simple. Look at the proposals of the past few years to see it. These proposals say things like helping under served communities or combating wealth inequality, but similar to “Save the children” bi

Absolutely not. It used to be a great email service that didn't let any spam hit my inbox. Now, it's basically only spam.

Typically the pirate streams I see and use are either from a local OTA broadcast or the direct cable stream. The direct stream even has placeholders for local ads.

The NFL should attempt to provide a better product if they want us to pay for it. The current landscape of trying to pay to watch NFL without a cable subscription is frustrating at best and frequently pirate streams simply offer a better pr

They will shove ads in it eventually and then it’ll become core to search.

Completely agreed. I'd be happy to pay even more to have a Spotify-like video streaming service. One price for everything, without commercials, would be worth the same or more than what I used to pay for cable. "Without Commerc

Today, you are absolutely right. If rights holders continue to reduce the available of premium content on Netflix, the situation may not be the same in a few years. Netflix content alone can’t sustain the platform, imo.
