Been a Kagi user for a while - so happy they added this lens. Such a fantastic search engine. I'm really happy they - for some odd reason - see my demographic (as a Lemmy user) valuable.

They mentioned that they bought premium, so they won't be seeing ads. Edit: Multiple people below are telling me that purchasing premium does not remove all ads, so that's actually quite annoying.

As an aside, I really don't get the logic of using a service like e-mail and just expecting it to be free - it's very bizarre to me.

If it's something important to you (as I assume e-mail is), pay for it - or stop whining about ads/nagging pop-ups.

And if you can't pay for it, download Dovecot and try doing it yourself - it's a fun experience, and will make you appreciate the work done by email providers. Spoiler alert: it's a massive pain in the butt.

Let them finish building the game first, then I think it'll be fair to talk about compatibility.

As a person who loves watching movies with subtitles, this is why I'm canceling Amazon Prime. The fuckers literally won't offer me English language subtitles for some flicks because I Iive outside the US.

I don't care if the movie itself is in English, why the hell can't I watch with subtitles in the same language as the film itself? Holy fuck.

I still remember being in college and hearing people in the lab next to me excitedly proclaim that they were able to pay $100 for a rare ship that has X Y Z features including handling, top speed, and fashionable interiors.

They weren't able to use the ship yet, but oh man was it a great investment for when they'd one day be able to ride them.

So fucking bizarre. But, if you have people out there thinking like my then peers, you're guaranteed to have a long term stream of income based on loose promises alone.

Of course. All that talk about how "Islam is against raising interest rates" goes out the window once the elections are over.

It's just a shame it took this long, we could have used actual economic action a few years back.

I mean, github does exist. It looks like people just prefer platforms with a pre-existing community.

Unity is mad that mobile game companies acquire millions of users in a few months as they transition from soft launch to global, and then sell their companies for millions - if not billions - of dollars.

They want a cut of that pie, and in true unity fashion, they chose the most inept way of doing that.

If you have developers of games like Cult of the Lamb feeling scared, you did it wrong.

You protect your indies, you protect the people making art with your product. The people who invested 3 million and are making billions in the mobile ads game? That's your target.

How they could be this inept is astounding...

Also, I'll echo the other commenter's statement in saying the article is very well written. They just weren't able to really answer the "why" portion very well. John Riccitiello wasn't wrong when he said this plan wasn't designed to affect 90% of their customers - but it also doesn't mention how that remaining 10% makes more than that 90% combined.

Ffs Unity, get your shit together...

He absolutely is not. This whole piece is absurd.

His reporting literally got his house fire bombed by Barilaro's cronies. The man is literally an organized criminal, and Australia is so corrupt that the fucking comedian reporting on him is the one being painted in a bad light.

It's ridiculous, to say the least.

For some content from friendkyjordies' side, check out (one of his many) video(s) on the topic.

Edit: The American equivalent of this would be shooting up Jon Stewart's house for his George W. Bush impressions.

Even in the beginning, all I could think was: "please don't try to overtake that truck, please just don't".

Literal nightmare fuel.

LGBT people: "We have a right to exist."

'Free speech absolutists': "Ugh, take your political bullshit someplace else."

No idea how people think this is a valid way to talk about people literally fighting for their right to simply be present in public spaces without people attacking their very being.

While I prefer Lemmy more, I'm enjoying my time there.

Can you cite any examples of weird behavior centered around its admin? I don't read Tildes enough to have noticed it, I guess.
