Hachette is one of the Big 5 publishers at 10% market share. Penguin Random house (25%), HarperCollins (11%) and Wiley (not big 5 but still ~10%) were also in the suit.

Hachette, Penguin and HarperCollins are basically half of all books that come out.

This is exactly why usage analytics are important metrics…

That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying “I’m ok with Intrusive software practices that provide a tangible benefit (fuck cheaters) because I air gap my shit.”

Malware implies malicious. It’s not malicious - it’s extremely intrusive.

Ultimately I don’t give a shit if they have every bit of data on the computer I play games on: there’s nothing there worth looking at. I do my private stuff on my phone. Gaming PC is for discord, games, and making shit for the games.

So I trust their root kit. They can’t do anything to me there.

Not necessarily the same hacker.

There’s never certainty when talking about hackers…

That’s verbatim the content of the email and the email hack does not appear to be malicious (unlike the ddos or the password breach)

It’s more likely that this is 3 different groups than it is a single group.

This guy is outing the archive for terrible security posture by bringing attention to it because they received disclosures and did not fix them.

Don’t get shit twisted - he’s the hero here. IA fucked up and has been vulnerable to manipulation by any number of corporate or national actors this entire time.

What I find particularly interesting is that it’s an ad they’re serving directly from their own infrastructure - ublock isn’t blocking it as an ad.

I am not! I hadn’t heard of it until just now. Very neat project.

No I’m just someone with a particular interest in corvids who feels represented by a god of Thought that is a bird

What a mediocre story

Tldr: it’s 1.3mm thinner and has worse software experience than the Pixel. The author would rather buy the pixel.

They’ve stated that the mod support includes every aspect of the game from mechanics to races to quest lines to dialogue.

So it should support your requirements.

Hi! Professional android dev here who has done some work on migrating an app to foldable:

Apps don’t guess. If they’re using XML they make specific layouts for a given width of screen.

If they’re using compose it’s even easier: the entire UI library is built for adaptive layouts. The main issue is a lot of apps are not in compose UI (or not entirely) - and material 3 has excellent components but it’s even less widely used.

Tldr: tech debt

A potential cause of the wonkiness is explicitly setting resizeableActivity="false" in the app manifest.

They’ve released a game like every couple years. Many of them flops, many of them hugely successful.

If you want devs to make apps without any monetization you’re limiting the number of devs that will develop for your platform.

Free only means you only allow passion projects that people work on as a side project or only the developers rich enough to have retired already.

Nobody who is struggling to get by can spend all their time developing a free app that has 0 monetization.

So they monetize on Google Play.

If you care about breaking Google’s control of Android you should cheer on another paid marketplace, especially one out of the clutches of Amazon.

Vista was a nightmare 8 was awful

Windows has consistently released 1 good, 1 bad for a long time now.

The thing is I think win11 is terminal. It’s just forever windows because they can milk it for ads without needing to iterate.

As an off instance user: great decisions! Strong migration makes for strong communities.

Given it’s a 3d print and cost about $0.60 to make each one…

Now if they made the STL as well then it makes more sense.

Flip the script - why have they mitigated bots in other games but not TF2? Is it because the strategy doesn’t transfer or is it because the implementation doesn’t translate?

And if they haven’t mitigated bots elsewhere - why would they do it in a crusty codebase like TF2 vs somewhere shiny and new.
