Because I refuse to install the Reddit official app.

Why someone keeps chasing the latest gadgets when the old ones work just fine is beyond me.

Nobody is waiting every year for the brand new line of washing machines. Why is there a need to swap phones this frequently?

To the ones down-voting this comment.

People keep piling up on the EFF without reading that article.

Once an ISP indicates it’s willing to police content by blocking traffic, more pressure from other quarters will follow, and they won’t all share your views or values. For example, an ISP, under pressure from the attorney general of a state that bans abortions, might decide to interfere with traffic to a site that raises money to help people get abortions, or provides information about self-managed abortions. Having set a precedent in one context, it is very difficult for an ISP to deny it in another, especially when even considering the request takes skill and nuance. We all know how lousy big user-facing platforms like Facebook are at content moderation—and that’s with significant resources. Tier 1 ISPs don’t have the ability or the incentive to build content evaluation teams that are even as effective as those of the giant platforms who know far more about their end users and yet still engage in harmful censorship.

The EFF supports prosecuting Kiwi Farms, they are just opposed to the dangerous precedent an ISP block sets.

For the studios releasing a game in a few months, it's probably too late to ditch unity, but would make sense to start looking at alternatives for their next projects.

Wouldn't be surprised if Godot explodes in popularity in the next 5 years.

Russian pacifists want Russia to stop invading Ukraine.

Lemmygrad / Hexbear pacifists want Ukraine to appease Russia and give up territory.

They are not the same.

Sounds like the best way to cripple your scientific and tech sector.

You're not going to learn much from a phone app. Specially programming.

"Learning apps" are mostly gamified gimmicks. If you never learned programming, you need a good book explaining the concepts of what you're trying to learn, a computer, a project, and the internet to search when you get stuck.

I know it's the boring answer, but this is one of those skills that it's basically a lot of tinkering, exploration, and nose to the grindstone.

The CEO of Unity was also CEO, COO, and president of EA. So, is anyone surprised?

Could you please read the whole article before commenting?

It’s incredibly easy for an ISP to point out that they’re not going to block a network for a different reason by pointing out it’s… not the same reason.

No offense, but don't pursue a law degree, that's not how things work in the real world. The EFF has a long history of fighting these sorts of things in court, they have enough experienced people to know what they are talking about.

A state has enough leverage to push around an ISP to comply, and the ISP gains nothing in opposing.

The EFF deserves to be roundly condemned for this, especially as it has no obvious alternative.

There is. People can be prosecuted individually. This has happened in the past without ISPs blocking whole websites.

The position is intellectually dishonest unless you’re actually pro-killing-transgender people.

Speaking of fallacies...

The margins on the gamedev industry are not that large, you should read some testimonies from veterans. It's a ruthless industry.

Games take years to make, and you can't change engines now if your game is about to come out.

I use SearXNG to search for things, with custom redirects and block lists.

If I want a genuine human opinion on a topic, I add "site:reddit.com" to the search. Hopefully someday there will be a good way to parse the fediverse for info.

Bollywood should start filming on-site.

• ls / cd for basic stuff

• fzf if I want to find my way through the history

• broot if I want to search for a file

• ripgrep if I want to find a file with specific contents.

I know that the last 3 are not available by default, but they are good pieces of software, so I'm just going to install them.

Do you mean buying your own domain, and forward email sent to it to an email provider?

A lot of email providers have that option (with paid plans). For example

• Nethack

Yes the interface is a mess. But it's ridiculously deep once you get into it.

Not sure it will solve your problem, but if you're not happy with the public SearXNG instances, you can run your own instance of SearXNG on your local machine, and even set up custom filters and redirects to get rid of SEO junk.

No offense, but keep your patronizing “Anyone who disagrees with me could only have just heard of this article I just skimmed, and not been discussing it in depth for the last week” bullshit out of my replies.

So, the EFF has 33 years of experience fighting in courts on matters of digital rights, and somehow you feel like you know both the current law and the legal consequences of court precedents better than them?

Based on how composed you've been in this comment section, I'm going to assume the EFF has been around longer than you have.

Seems a bit overkill for a personal use selfhosting set-up.

Personally, I don't need anything that requires multiple replicas and loadbalencers.

Do people who have homelabs actually need them? Or is it just for learning?

Damn... that's rough.

Hopefully they'll backpedal on this decision for now (they are already getting a lot of flack). But I guess the message has been sent. Wouldn't be surprised if Unity starts bleeding users after this.

Best of luck!
