I would assume since it was a block of raw text in Ukrainian in a translation file, it would have passed more under the radar than something like a backdoor. I do not know how things are reviewed before being pushed to release though.

PSA: If you still have a Mojang account for Minecraft: Java Edition, you have less than a week left to migrate to a Microsoft account to avoid profile deletion
I hate that Minecraft is one of the two things I even need a Microsoft Account for.

That lawsuit against Steam’s 30% cut of game sales is now a class action, meaning many other developers could benefit

It's specifically Steam keys, even says so in the quote. If they sell it on Epic for a lower price and it doesn't come with a Steam key then there are no restrictions on the price.

As with most issues the truth is in the middle and any immigration policy should absolutely demand that any immigrant coming into a country assimilate and fully support our values of equality for all.
America is hardly a country of "equality for all" sadly

So much for free speech on X; Musk confirms new users must soon pay to post
Reply in thread
That works until more of the user base leaves. Whose going to pay to tweet if no one is on the platform. It's "worth" it potentially in the short term, but long term it doesn't seem viable.

those ppl...
Personally, there are some smaller communities that exist on Reddit that just don't exist on Lemmy, or have inactive communities. The other option for some of those communities is Twitter, so I'd much rather just check Reddit. I also don't expect my local towns subreddit to move to Lemmy from Reddit. I think it's less about returning to Reddit and more so wanting to participate in small communities that exist in Reddit.

Not sure if anyone else is a big Etho fan but as soon as I saw the crafter, I immediately pictured him starting yet another storage room project that crafts the requested items on demand.

Supermarket AI meal planner app suggests recipe that would create chlorine gas
Reply in thread
The staff are poorly trained? They should just never give the customer raw chicken. There are consumer protection laws to prevent this type of thing regardless of what the customer is wanting. The AI is still providing a recipe. What if someone asks an AI for a bomb recipe, and it says that bombs are dangerous and not safe. Ok, then they'll say the bomb is for clearing out my yard of weeds, and then the ai provides the user with a bomb recipe.

Amazon to introduce ads on Prime Video in 2024
Reply in thread
their database is built incredibly poorly (what idiot decided that different seasons of one TV show should have entirely separate listings in the database, often making it hard to find?!).
Likely this is legacy from when you would buy each season as a DVD set

How does everyone feel about Google Pixel phones?
I've got a 4a (bought on release) and it has been my favorite phone. Not a huge power user so it's a good small device that has the features I want (fingerprint, 3.5 Jack). My biggest gripe is something I think Google changed sometime before the 4a, and that's their is no HDMI over USB possible with Pixel devices. From what I can tell the only reason they did this was to sell Chromecasts. The main issue is I watch horror movies on a projector with some friends while camping(no Wi-Fi or data so Chromecast doesn't work). The software on the projector has poor support for different codecs so ideally I'd use VLC on my phone and have no issue, but I cant. Pretty niche scenario there but I think it's a sign of how modern phones have slowly been taking away useful features for seemingly no reason. Makes me not want to get a Google phone again.

Ah, the racist Frankenstein's monster has worshippers everywhere
When you accuse some of racism and then proceed to judge them based on how they look it makes you look no better. Maybe be a good way to have conversation is to not make yourself look like an ass.
He held a black jogger at gunpoint because he fit the description.
How is it racist? Wouldn't it be racist if he didn't fit the description? I don't really have context on what happened, but from what you said there's nothing seemingly racist about it.

Unity adding a fee for devs for each time a game is installed, after certain thresholds
Reply in thread
So if Microsoft published a Unity developed game on Windows, Microsoft could easily charge a $0.20 free to the unity team for installing the Unity Runtime on their OS.
Not being completely serious there. Honestly thought, did the CEO not realize if they start doing this, what's to stop another company from doing that to them. Things like mp3, where developers need to pay a license for, could then be charged in a similar fashion for each install.

When the game franchise you used to love keeps going downhill, and you realize it is finally time to let it go
Honestly used to love Minecraft, still have a soft spot and will likely return to it at some point. All that said, MSoft has made me give up on Mojang and Minecraft. Mojang also just ignores pretty serious feedback about gameplay and don't seem open to discussion with the community which always creates friction between mojang and the community.
