Kissaki@programming.devto Opensource@programming.dev•FOSS central hub project ideaEnglish1·2 days agoDocumentation: A place where we can create documentation for projects that don’t have the documentation or is very basic.
Why create or extend documentation outside of the project when you could improve the project docs themselves?
Projects that are open source but don’t allow easy doc contributions?
I find contributing to projects very easy. When I read some docs, and find an issue, I create a pull request with a fix. When I’m interested in a project, I take a look at open issues. Often the website and software project are separate repos with separate issues.
I find the idea of a community of people sharing ideas, open tasks, seeking and finding contributors compelling, but I’m skeptical any new platform could reach critical mass. Maybe that’d be a matter of approach and long term effort.

There’s a decline button. At least privacy settings don’t repeatedly come up again (what this post is about).
Kissaki@programming.devto Tech@programming.dev•Ubisoft isn't the only studio that orders you to destroy your games once support endsEnglish4·3 days agoIf you lease you car you have to give it back.
If you license your games for the duration of them being active, then it makes sense.
The biggest issue, miscommunication, and often illegal practice is calling it buying when it is only a limited subscription. IIRC Steam recently (finally had to) change the wording away from “buying”. Because it’s not buying if you don’t own the product afterwards.

Winget apparently already references the unsigned installer. Does it take them a while to sign? I would expect winget to reference only signed installers if they provide them.

Kissaki@programming.devto Game Development@programming.dev•"Proof" of Valve's wrongdoing in antitrust class-action lawsuitEnglish41·4 days agoSteam
- offers services
- takes a 30% cut on products sold on the Steam Store
- offers free Steam keys, within broad limitations, for you to sell on other stores, or distribute in other ways (free review copies, etc)
- requires you to sell the product at the same price even when Steam is not involved (different store, no Steam integration)
- the implication is that this also applies to discounts (I don’t know for sure myself, and the post does not give evidence of it, but the “fair to Steam” implies it)
You could sell a product DRM-free on your own website 30% cheaper, and get the same money, while providing a cheaper, DRM-free alternative. Steam currently denies that, restricting your choices. You can still sell it on your website at the same price, of course, and the customer still has a choice.
I think what feels unfair or maybe immoral is that they make demands, even requirements, upon your decisions and distributions that do not involve them at all. They’re taking your product hostage. And they can do so because they’re so big you can’t not publish on their storefront too if you want reach.

None of the URL parents have content. The root page only has a placeholder page with an image and placeholder text.

The article claims this is the first analysis and indication/proof that it is being used [by advertisers]. They do not claim that browser fingerprinting is new.

I’m surprised they don’t have a major release announcement. The GitHub Release is a change log, and the Release page, without a dedicated subpage for the release, reads more like “individual improvements from last release”.
