Mind that this doesn't mean that they are not commercialized - modern console emulators make a lot of money on patreon(in some cases up to $80k a month) for "private builds" that can run certain games, especially newer ones

That's amazing! This is such a smash-hit feature from Discord that no other messenger has gotten right yet. Feels like a needed step for community-building after having used Discord for so long. You are doing awesome work.

Especially because most of Google's productivity apps don't even have ads. I think it's just Gmail on mobile at the moment.

It's commonly suspended in Kerosene, so maybe that's what they meant? Bit of a long stretch though.

Look at Chinese Android phones: They get away with slapping an unresponsive and confusing shell onto their phones and still sell millions. I wouldn't be surprised if this will happen for Laptops soon as well, with custom in-house DEs.

This is a mailing list from 2001, they mostly still look like that nowadays.

Makes me wonder how no one has sued that company for false advertising yet - when the CEO says "this car you're buying is capable of doing X and will do it by the end of 2016" but it still doesn't in 2021. Tesla seemingl

Apple actually has been on a big crusade against any semblance of sexual content on the Store since early 2021, actually - Discord is now forced to hide all servers with NSFW content on iOS and a few art apps(e.g. Procreate) have removed ar

So much FUD and derailment in that GitHub pull request, wow. Hundreds of comments talking about names for forks and alternative software. The original PR description absolutely was not explicit enough, and they probably shouldn't have

Probably soon if this comes to Android, since it basically removes all value from YouTube Premium as it is right now. Google never allowed alternative YouTube clients that had this exact feature set on the play store.

If your social network relies on having less users to be good, you might have a problem in your long-term business model(especially considering the funding they've already gotten).

Scripting in Excel is a complex mess of VBA and COM, it's probably far from trivial to provide (sane) bindings into other languages. You can do it via .NET, but a lot of people prefer VBA for its "quick and dirty"-ness.

You still see news of scams and spam on the App Store daily and you can easily buy already verified developer accounts in bulk online to participate in those scams, so it's clearly not working as "security". It's always

I was mentioning this last time MuseScore appeared on HN - their CEO gave some insight in the comments on how this came to be. Seems to boil down to "music publishing mafia didn't like it", which is understandable. https:&#x

Sleep for Android (a popular sleep tracker/analyzer) allows you to "pay in" a small amount of money, like $5-15 per user choice via in-app purchases, that is lost as a donation to the developers if the set goal wasn't re

Yes, it was started in 2007 - maybe some people here still live in the early 2000s, but that's 14 years and 2 big iterations ago. Check the calendar. Maybe games just shouldn't be rushed out this much either.

That just means someone in charge made a bad choice during planning and either no dev or designer ever dared to speak up against it or many of them supported said bad choice.

ToS are irrelevant and you should have published it anyways, under a name different from the one you use on the forums and in-game. Open knowledge is important, especially in video game scenes where elitism is a real issue, stopping people

This is probably it, thank you for clarifying - I've got a few friends in SK and they always complain about this, should have thought of that!
