switch, xbox, playstation, etc.

That’s probably what they’re talking about. Instead of emulating another controller you have 1st party support.

Then they shouldn’t say anything.

I remember hearing about how terrible it was when it first came out and I pretty much never heard about it since so I assume it did not improve LOL

Great news on the same day the Stop Killing Games petition reaches 1M sigs.

Probably because you need to be technically proficient just to access the site anymore.

• overpriced games
• fully-priced games with microtransactions and day 1 DLCs.
• overpriced hardware
• games released broken, fixed later
• Invasive DRM
• Always-online requirements
• annoying ads/microtransactions
• invasive telemetry
• third party launchers
• third party accounts
• Publishers intentionally misleading reviewers
• False/misleading marketing from GPU OEMs

What else am I missing?

Video games spending by young Americans is dropping

FTFY

9% is significant

8bitdo controllers now offer Steam compatibility!

Full compatibility details coming soon.

What a non-announcement announcment.

I’m not sure if this guy is just dumb or it’s a honeypot.

1. As mentioned elsewhere, they don’t use device ID

2. Android is the only platform that supports alternative push methods

3. Apple knows everyone who downloads this app, which is subject to subpoena

4. The gov has been collecting push notification data from both Apple and Google for a long time. It would be as simple as knowing when notifications went out and then comparing timestamps to figure out who is using the app.

5. The app is closed-source

It would take significantly more mental energy on the part of the user but it would be far safer (which is extremely important in this specific case, as the dev agrees) to distribute through F-Droid and then use some other UnifiedPush implementation, as many Android apps already do. Anyone using this app is making themselves a huge target for the current authoritarian state.

DON’T TELL ME HOW TO LIVE MY LIFE. YOU’RE NOT MY REAL DAD!

I can’t. No votes is the next best thing.

FFS, it was years ago, no one is claiming him as “our guy”, and he’s an extremely influential person so just take the win.

Yep, and that will be it’s downfall, because Apple will take it down and there’s no way to install it without their rubber stamp.

“He’s giving a message to criminals where our federal officers are, and he cannot do that, and we are looking at it, we are looking at him, and he better watch out,” Bondi said. “Because that is not protected speech, that is threatening the lives of our law enforcement officers throughout this country, and shame on CNN!”

Why can’t he do that, Pammy?

Gotta say Aaron is a bold motherfucker.

I want to upvote and downvote you simultaneously.

If they set strict level, all bots are blocked.

I don’t know what you don’t understand. These bots are not labeling themselves as bots. They are camouflaging themselves to look like any other type of traffic.

VC funding happens because the result is profitable.

No, VC funding happens because investors are duped into thinking the result is profitable.

Their business is largely based on security and preventing specific types of actions on a site. Not just the mere act of visiting it.

What is blocked depends on what the website owner sets as settings in cloudflare.

And how does the owner know which connections are bots?

If they have to crawl the web while behaving like a normal human, it will be magnitudes slower and more costly.

They don’t care, they have trillions of dollars of VC money to power through.

they can already block VPN traffic unless it goes through their VPN

Yeah that’s how most VPNs work.

their whole business model is based on them being a man in the middle that decrypts ssl and analyses the requests plainly

Okay? Analyze all you want. They can’t stop bots on any of the other sites they regulate either.

about a third of the worldwide websites are using cloudflare so they have a pretry good birds eye view on behaviour of any machine that will be visiting a lot of websites

Great. Bots intentionally change up their behavior and identifying information as to be undetected.
