Unity cancels the stupid Runtime Fee gamingonlinux.com/2024/09/unit…
Unity cancels the stupid Runtime Fee
After a complete disaster a while ago that saw many developers jump-ship, and cause a huge PR problem, Unity have now cancelled the Runtime Fee.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
loosening their fishing nets for now, I guess.
I think this whole ordeal angered me personally because learning a new engine and APIs means dedicating so much time that you learn a new way of thinking.
If a company then uses that to trap an entire community, in my opinion that's just evil.
Unity is canceling the Runtime Fee and reverting back to its seat based subscription model

I just got curious about Bluesky and made an account a couple days ago. I had a follow within minutes, and more replies in an hour than I’ve had my whole time on mastodon. Plus, with multiple feeds, I was able to easily follow good accounts quickly.
I love the grass roots feeling of Mastodon, but it’s often like screaming into the void. I posted a simple Linux question with the popular hashtags and got zero replies here. There, I got 5 replies.
Do you know if they support posting longer than 500 characters if the instance supports it?
Edit: Just checked, it is fixed at 500 chars. RIP.

In 2013, a senior university administrator where I worked “joked” that - to garner more attention to our research - my team should imprison me & the 1 other woman in a basement. This was the same week in 2013 that national news focused on the 3 female victims kidnapped, abused & imprisoned in an Ohio house for over a decade. (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariel_…)
This person was a former political appointee now at the university. Everyone went silent, but no one responded.
I’ve learned that a lot of guys visualize our social environment like this:
A wide bar is neatly segmented about 95% white and 5% dark red on the end, labeled “good men” on the left, “crazed evil men” on the right.
But it’s actually closer to this:

Tencent ported my python 3 code to python 2. And violated my copyright by replacing my copyright notice with their own and changing the licence from GPL to BSD.
I filed a DMCA takedown request with GitHub over a month ago. They said it would be processed soon but have not replied to my questions asking how much longer it will take since.
