What's the alternative? Blocking extensions from accessing the Internet? How are you even supposed to do that given extensions already have (completely justified) access to the filesystem and can invoke executables? There certainly is

True, but it's (as far as I know) the only DRM that is not listed in the store page. "Third party" DRMs like Denuvo must be listed there, but Steam's gets a free pass.

In game development, it's all almost exclusively Windows, and Mac if developing mobile games.

Trivially, yes, but nothing stops you from using a proxy/tunnel/VPN (I'm not sure what is the correct word? They are marketed as VPNs anyway) either for your actual browsing, or just exposing your services through the proxy.

IKWYD shows me what (I presume) my general area is downloading, as my carrier uses CGNAT. IPLocation is accurate to the city level, but that info is freely available on my website's homepage and several work and personal social network

It's a simple pattern which I'll describe in this paragraph with some padding before and after, so you may give up on reading, even though it is in my opinion among the mildest patterns that would trigger trypophobia. It's a

1&2: Get yourself a domain, hand out randomhash@myself.com Bonus points, you get independence from your email provider, so if Google or whatever decides to delete your account spuriously you don't die digitally.

This. The need for unbounded growth is not a valid justification for not acknowledging humans. Now, I'm not sure what would be the solution. Regulation requiring some level of support? "Right to talk to a capable human" or so

Because they are broken, apparently. The CSS class for those is `broken_link`, and I tried on the "Primary and secondary compounds", sure enough it leads to an "access denied" response 403.

I've had a good experience with Discord. At work we use it as our primary voice communication software, and it hardly ever has issues with audio quality. Screen sharing is also configurable, which is good as you can better decide where

I don't know if they _rely_ on it, but recent NBA 2K games apparently have interstitial ads, even though it's a full-price 60USD game with yearly releases already. Absolutely disgusting, I already doubt the value of yearly release

Obligatory mention of the FMV "advisors" of Civ 2, including a roman "cool dude" with sunglasses. https://youtu.be/FlTIk80uBPg?t=269

As far as I understand, there is still exclusive access to 1 app at a time, it's just that the accounts and sending/receiving is handled by the OS, and apps call into the OS to do operations, rather than maintaining their own cred

Yep, as long as it's vaguely a "question", the smaller communities have very different tolerances to opinion-based-ness. It's subject-focused, and the quality is generally pretty high (StackOverflow is a different beast

Oh that's sad, because it works pretty well. I switched to it from Popcorn Time because I was having some issues, thanks for informing me.

A better question is can most users be inconvenienced into preferring to be told what to consume? As a sibling commenter says, these issues are not an "expert mode" problem, you can see regular people facing them too. But they u

Heck yes, I love this game. Instagib is very satisfying, and I have many memories making maps with its embedded level editor together with friends. I don't know of any other games that do this, having a realtime multiplayer editing too

It does, but I'm guessing it's just one simply understandable example. C# has the very Windows-centric https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.environme... Unity itself has the Applicatio

Oh yes, I'm reminded of another one: The Forgotten City. A Roman-period detective-ish story with some fantasy elements (which I won't spoil here, but it's not as much a big deal to be spoiled as my previous recommendation of

That's a good one! Do be warned though, you have to be willing to put up with some strange gameplay choices, that fit the game's theme but are not exactly convenient.

Thanks for the recommendation, I had heard of it and its many praises before, but I usually struggle with D&Dish things (I haven't looked too much into it but I assume it's similar in mechanics to Baldur's Gate, which is

I did. Went in with a bit of suspicion, because the base game was just so tight in purpose and story, but after I found "That Thing Which I Won't Spoil For Others But You Having Played Know Of" the only thought I had was &quo

Outer Wilds got me good on the single-player story-heavy-but-still-got-mechanics part, I wish there were more things like it. Not more of it, because the story is very tight, but more things like it, where I can somehow immerse myself in

Outer Wilds, a million times. Don't read about it, not even the entire Steam page. Describing it vaguely, it's an archaeology knowledge-puzzle played over a tiny solar system, in one of the most immersive first-person mechanics I&

We Were Here Together, and Forever, kind of fit the bill. The original and the second title are great fun, but don't have as much a defined story.

Android has ConstraintLayout with some of that, but it's just "spaces between sibling edges", not quite as flexible as you describe.
