This has been brought up before (not here, just in general). The short answer is they heavily customized the analytics so it’s not as ‘bad’ out of the box. You can read more about it below.

You can probably ask them directly if you’d want more of an answer. They don’t seem to be trying to hide anything.

Edit: also, as far as I know, Firefox actively should be blocking Google Analytics, unless they changed it (which is possible). About four years ago, Firefox started blocking Google Analytics by default.

Can we stop the overuse and over-generalization of “enshitification” which Doctorow had given very explicit meaning to in regards to social networks? It does not simply mean commoditization which is not quite the same but almost synonymous with 'race to the bottom’s in regards of trying to increase revenue while simultaneously decreasing costs.

Edit: I’ll admit narrowing to “social networks” is a bit too narrow, but the point still stands that it’s for two way platforms where there are “two markets.” Phillips Hue does not have a two sided market.

They’d have to do best effort against charging devs for pirated copies.

Telemetry is also easily blocked. As a business, I’d trust that a lot less. It’s why many enterprise licenses are simply self reported. The punishment isn’t worth lying enough to make a difference.

Most companies would trust devs as the devs are not big enough to survive a legal fight they’d certainly lose with prejudice, meaning they’d pay court costs as well.

There is no way they’ll just make up a bunch of invoices for small developers. That would be too time consuming, plus they’d need to show reasonable effort in determining the invoice. It’s best to just let the devs do all the work with the fear that an audit can cost them so much more money than they’d save if they lied.

Will probably be enforced via licensing. Maybe even self reported. Probably has a clause giving them permission to perform audits of your sales.

In a dictatorship with an AI being in control, I don’t think there’s a question of accepting consequences at they very least.

There is no such thing as best case scenario objectively, so it’s always going to be a question of what goals the AI has, whether it’s given them or arrives at them on its own.

An AI running the world is not a democracy. I don’t see how that would play a part in this at all. A majority of the world likely does not concur with the resource allocation as it is but are powerless to do anything.

I don’t think this post implies the AI isn’t capable of enforcing its reign.

I mean, it seems weird to say “was”. It came out 6 months ago. It may technically be accurate, but the connotation makes it sound a lot older.

I feel like you just used a lot of words to say resource allocation is a problem. And the other commenter said an algorithm would be better at it.

There are other forms of machine learning that could be utilized. Some work more toward being given a set of circumstances to reach and then it just keeps trying to new things and as it gets closer, it just keeps building on those.

Proton has a similar feature (not sure if it’s part of free or premium as I subscribed for proton ultimate so it just came with Proton Pass). It’s honestly crazy how nice having TOTP right in the extension for the account’s entry in the manager.

Also, I realize this is like the third time I’ve made a comment about Proton, so I’m probably gonna stop before folks think I’m like a shill or something.

They are working on password sharing, but it’s not here yet (I remember reading it in an email not too long ago that mentioned all the things on the horizon in the coming year if I recall, so it might not be super soon, but “soon”). So it might be a fit for you in the future, but for now I’d suggest sticking with Bitwarden (or some other app that meets your requirements).

I’ve used both Enpass and Proton. Enpass is a bit more feature-ful, mainly because Proton Pass is new. I switched away from Enpass as I didn’t like that they basically had me pay for it three times, even though the first one was a lifetime license. But I needed my passwords. Finally decided to put in the effort to move away from them as their constant begging to subscribe was annoying. So switched to Proton since I already subscribe to the plan that includes Pass.

Proton is working on expanding features and have added a few in the short while I’ve had it. I’d suggest Bitwarden over Enpass personally, particularly if you want features Proton Pass doesn’t offer yet (like no desktop or web app yet, but they are working on both, so until then, I need to use a browser extension)

? I mentioned it twice. And you sounded like a manager a little bit in one comment, and then a lot in the followup reply to it. To the point it sounded like you were defending it. Making claims that developers aren’t allowed to make the choice you were saying to make. So it was really weird. I don’t even know how your stance makes sense from your point of view.

Edit: and thanks for ignoring anything of actual value to reply to.

Yeah, your first link shows up as a search on kbin.cafe’s instance for me, it doesn’t even look like a community link. It’s a fully typed out url. Your second link connects me to the magazine community on my own instance.

I don’t see either at symbols or exclamations above. I just see a bunch of search links.

That sounds like bad business. No application is 100% unique in everything. Code reuse saves time. If you are unable to bring anything from one app to another, you’re doing it wrong.

Let me guess though, I was right. You’re a manager not a developer.

Am I the only one where all the links show up as searches instead of links to the communities themselves?

This is a shitty response. You won’t make money if you design the app poorly and can’t maintain it.

Second one. Just realized there were two. Being close together and the first being long enough to get trailing “…” it all just looked like one big link when I first saw it. May just be Kbin displaying it that way.
