  • No, it is completely misleading because:

    1. this change will not impact a single developer outside the EU.

    2. Any developer not using a third party app store will also not be affected.

    3. You can still build free apps and literally nothing changes assuming you use Apple’s app store.

    Like I said, it is a shit policy, but for nearly all developers nothing changes.

    The video’s thumbnail said Apple is killing free apps. That is a complete lie. There is not an ounce of truth to it.

    Such a clickbait-y headline I am not going to watch it.

    Free apps aren’t changing in anyway.

    The tl;dr is that for developers using the app store, nothing changes. Developers wishing to not use the app store have to agree to a new fee structure.

    Apple, as expected, intends to make up for lost profits by charging more money.

    If you are outside the EU none of this matters to you.

    Note that I am not disagreeing with the sentiment , but rather I am disagreeing with the clickbait headline.






  • You think anticheat will stop this? lol

    My keyboard has macros. No PC software required except to create/modify.

    With little effort you can also turn a raspberry pi into a programmable input device. There are also HDMI to USB dongles that capture video if you need to capture/process frames. I own one.

    All Riot is doing is making the cheats (if they even exist for LoL) stealthier.

    This has nothing to do with cheating. They got tired of support requests coming in. If that wasn’t the case they would have had a solution for Steam Deck/Linux users to go with the announcement.


  • Both Come and Pepsi doubled - tripled their prices in the time between 2020 and 2023.

    In 2019 (in my area) you could get a 2 liter of soda for $0.79-$1.00. Non-sale price was $1.49. A 12 pack of cans was $2-$2.50 on sale with a none-sale price of $4.

    2 liters now are “on sale” for $2-$3 each and non-sale price is $3-$3.50.

    Cans sale price is $4 at minimum and non-sale price is $7.99–8.99 depending on the store.

    I have significantly cut back on my diet soda intake as a result, so i guess there is that?

    To put another way, in the best of times in 2019 I could buy a 5x12 pack of cans for $10. Today I would have to pay $20-$45 for the exact same product depending on if it was on sale or not.

    When our economy finally falters, these companies will be the first to scream for bailouts and other nonsense.

    Like dude, just go back to pre-pandemic pricing.
