Wait, 10th anniversary?? WTF, I’m old

Unless you run a VPN

I mean, I wouldn’t mind a car with “only” 200km range, but that can charge up to full in just 5 minutes. I use my car just for work 99% of the time anyway, the times I need to go somewhere further away I can easily stop midway to charge, get a coffee in the meantime and then be on my way.

The 30% it’s always been the standard though, so not just Valve. That figure comes from retail, where 30-50% is still standard practice. You could argue that retail has higher costs, therefore needs the higher cut, but when Valve created Steam, they probably went with what worked.

What I really hate about Steam and all online shops, is that you can’t resell something you purchased second hand. If I can resell my physical copy of a game or movie, I should be able to do the same with the digital version. Also the fact that they can remove access to the product you bought whenever they want. In my opinion, we need a law that specifies that what you buy is yours, and you get to do whatever you want with it, even if the manufacturer doesn’t like it.

It’s the only way I can see it working. Otherwise, you could just make infinite cheat accounts.

Firefox has the same problem with V3, it has nothing to do with the browser

Didn’t they say they will implement V3, but change it slightly to allow extensions like ublock origin to block web requests? Also I’m pretty sure there’s still no timeline for any deprecation of V2 in FF, unlike for Chrome, which will disable all V2 extensions.

Wtf

Yeah, it’s already stale and expired by now

Google Shopping

is Google Shopping really used that much?

is that too much to ask?

Let’s say it’s a lot to ask, especially when the app also needs to be crossplatform and behave functionally the same on all platforms.

Maybe it could be done, in theory, with a lot of work, but it’s definitely not at all an easy task, especially for a project that seemed dead and buried just a few years ago and with just a handful of volunteer devs.

Most crossplatform apps that I can think of don’t really look like native apps in any system. I’m thinking of Chromium, VSCode, Discord, Steam etc.

The only one I can think of right now is Whatsapp, but I’m pretty sure they actually developed three independent apps and maintain all three, for Android, iOS and Windows. They all look and feel like native apps because they are. Please tell me if I’m wrong.

Still, you can’t expect all, or even most developers to do something like that, especially when you start including all the different DEs and themes and so on.
