If it's not opt in, it's spyware.
There is literally no data generated by my machine that you can take without me making an active choice to give it to you without being a bad human being. It is not your data. It's mine. There are zero exceptions.
There is exactly one valid way to collect user data. You ask permission, with precise details on how you intend to use it and how you will anonymize it. Then you respect the answer.
Because it's open source and most of the applications for it are open source. That means you can compile it and the applications specifically for the hardware you have.
Windows does kind of support ARM on its specific hardware, but it can't be adjusted for other hardware and they have to translate most applications to work. Apple has done much of that work for their hardware to work well, as well as very good translation for x86, and because they leaned hard into the transition, developers were mostly forced to compile for ARM going forward. Microsoft hasn't done the same, and ARM is a tiny target, so it doesn't happen with any regularity there.
By definition, yes, that's a review bomb. It has no connection in any way to the quality of the product, which is what a review is.
His argument is you post "this browser is not legal in France" and just ignore their awful laws.
Which probably isn't actually enough. But if you geofence France away that probably would be.
You could have just not punished them for allowing users to use the "share on Facebook" link the news sites put below every article?
Fuck Facebook. They're a disgusting excuse for a company that's in the wrong on basically everything else they've ever done. But they aren't even a shred of wrong on this.
The Steam Deck's suspend also turns a lot of games that would need long sessions on desktop into perfectly suitable to be played in 5 minute bursts.
The entire premise of a link tax is batshit insane. It's not mediocre. It's not "I can see where they're coming from". It completely and irreparably breaks the internet.
The previews are exactly what sites ask for them to show. You don't get to tell them "please show this content" then accuse them of stealing content.
As far as I'm concerned they do. But my opinion doesn't decide the rating of a game any more than yours that's it's supposedly a better game than bad rats.
It's a product of everyone who votes giving their opinion, and the entire steam userbase has come to the consensus that Overwatch 2 is a particularly egregious example of it.
It cannot possibly be a review bomb when the reviews are legitimate opinions based on what the game is.
There is no such thing as a microtransaction that is not pure unredeemable evil.
The reason Overwatch 2 is the worst reviewed game Steam has ever had?
A bad game does a lot less harm than a game that seems good on the surface then tries to rob you blind.
Did bad rats deliberately steal a game people liked to replace it with an addiction machine?
Literally every single bit of data you collect without explicit opt in is malicious and unacceptable.
There is no possible theoretical excuse for collecting anything from someone else's hardware (without a very deliberate opt in from them) that is forgivable, let alone valid. It is not your data to collect.
If you actually think it benefits the user, you should have no issue asking them for permission and telling them how it's in their interest. The fact that you won't just ask for permission is implicit acknowledgment that users don't agree with you and won't freely give it.
