No, this is clearly Stargate Command. It's even in the same place!

Unity tweaks new install fees as developers threaten to jump ship in c/gamedev@programming.dev

[–] grinde@programming.dev 8 points 2 years ago

Last year Unity merged with ironSource - a "mobile monetization and distribution" company that was once blacklisted by Microsoft for developing and distributing actual malware. I'd assume the tracking is done via a product brought over from that side of the business.

The smart(shit)ification of TVs pisses me off. in c/technology@beehaw.org

Why bother actually installing? Just use a packet sniffer to find the data being sent to Unity and replay it in a loop. You could probably hit somewhere in the range of 100k-1M "installs" per minute.

Rust devs push back as Serde project ships precompiled binaries in c/rust@programming.dev

Yup. The binary is precompiled proc macros. Should save a negligible amount of time...

Gamers nexus on LTT in c/technology@lemmy.world

GN released a followup this morning addressing his response. The bit about "already" having an agreement to compensate Billet Labs is nothing more than a bald-faced lie. He reached out after the GN video, and Billet hadn't yet responded when GN asked them about it. Billet is not "good" as he claimed in another post.
