Most ethical army

I don't really expect anything good coming from them. To me the likes of Blizzard, Ubi, Bioware, Bethesda, EA etc are shareholder-driven companies, that stopped innovating a long time ago and now only produce and regurgitate the absolute bare minimum slop.

I have been pleasantly surprised on occasion, like for ubi's Anno 1800, or blizzard's diablo 2 remake, but they're few and far between.

Not sure what you're fighting me about - I can tell you for a fact that we had local cronies ( in Cluj or Constanta for example ) get away scot-free after taking people's advance payments on new apartment complexes, never building anything and just delaying proceedings until the trial closed. Or politicians' sons that got away with vehicular manslaughter and DUIs simply because of influence. Now I don't know how much influence the tates have, but at the very least they could've hired competent local attorneys that know how to game the system. And the justice system here is laughably corrupt.

They learned from our local high-profile crooks that if you can delay proceeding for a couple years, the process ends. Or if you know people that know people you might get lucky and a judge retires, in which case the whole thing starts from scratch. Meantime they can continue to build their public image and pick fights with kermit or whoever on twitter. have very little hope that they will be prosecuted "to the full extent of the law".

This looks an awful lot like Oxenfurt. Still, gorgeous painting

Its fascinating to see that a chinese state controlled app has the power to potentially destabilize small economies. Also fuck influencers, they are a plague on this world.

The Play Integrity API was never meant to detect fraudulent apps, but to make it easy for google to become the arbiter of what's trustworthy and what's not. They knew this of course, but this lawsuit indicates they might have something solid to stand on. Good luck GrapheneOS!

Yeah, privacy. That's definitely what it's for

If it were a paid account yeah, it'd be extremely shitty. But seeing as it's a free account, it's their prerogative to try and get people to pay for the service. Besides, I don't get this entitlement that spotify has to provide music for free. They're a (admittedly greedy) middle-man that wants to get paid. If one wants free music and everything, well, time to self-host.

This whole lemmy tankie dev thing has been discussed ad nauseam here for the past year or so. Not sure what solutions you suggest, but if I were to filter my software by who's an asshole dev and who's not, that list will end up really short.

As far as the ml instance goes, I don't agree that we should start defederating left and right with any and all undesirables, but to each their own. At least people now will be in the know, and it might take some weight off lemmy.world

What a strange thing to be pedantic about
