what's up with people hating pineapple on pizza to the point of associating that with disabilities?

that's an interesting read on the story though. writing in a medium in such a way as to pass one message disguised as the opposite isn't a new concept, one such example being how a ton of popular music here in Brazil bypassed censors during the dictatorship from 1964-'85 to spread messages of resistance against the government.

edit: missed some of the wording. fixed now.

working conditions would still be changed either way once people figure out that not burning out people is more productive for the jobs

Do-Not-Track requests is nothing but a header on GET. at best, it's useless, with exceptions from websites that already barely track you. at worst, it's another data point for fingerprinting your browser.

not for long, and expect even more restrictions to its use after Web Environment Integrity.

for future reference, it's even more convenient to use when you know to change GUI scale settings to configure them to align with the physical space

i see milk tasting almost like water like skimmed milk, as well as some juices i used to be able to buy, fillings in sweets like crackers and wafers being almost as thin as paper or outright stopping being sold and replaced by cookies using drops for a filling, yogurt being replaced by "milk drink" (yogurt is thicker and slower to flow down, i can tell the difference, but the label also changes, idk the english term for "bebida láctea"), a lot of sweets and bags reducing from 800g down to 600g, down to 400g while keeping the same price, packaging turning opaque and non-transparent, potato chips and other salt foods being filled 1/5th, down from 1/3rd, even instant noodles going from 150g down to 80g in the past decade.

only things that aren't changed as much is what i know to be the very basic things that people in here uses and cooks every day, that being rice (5kg), beans (5 and 1kg), pasta (500g all variants), sugar and salt (1kg), etc.
mostly depends on the country you are in (i'm in Brazil), but the point is that it doesn't stop at the chocolate bars.

the "just don't do it" argument ignores the problem. it's like replying "just don't buy Apple products" to people complaining about right to repair. the key part is that regular people won't know beforehand until they need to notice. by that point, it's profitable enough to show other companies like Samsung and Motorolla that restrictions are profitable, so jumping around brands will also never work when the intention is to have your phone for a long time.

back in the context of game dev, add that to the part where not only people don't anticipate the retroactive changes of a license they have to rely on when choosing an engine, but there's the added weight of having to learn an entirely new library and oftentimes even an entire new programming language, so you have to commit to it if you want to make a commercial product or else you risk losing literal years of development just from rewriting the same thing over and over.

not to say that there's a reason why a lot of people chose Unity. Godot may be in development since 2014 but they are still relatively new in popularity. not only they have less total instructions resources from the community due to it obviously being smaller than Unity's, but people also look for already known games as one of the first factors when choosing something, which is something Godot is still catching up on. knowing legal jargon to even comprehend the difference between free and proprietary is the least of their worries when someone wants to jump into game development and build stuff with it.

classic mistake when writing a reply bot

the tracking of pirated copies is even more fucked up. is that their way of imposing that "piracy = stealing"?
