Just watched this episode an hour ago, and that scene really got me. Upload is a surprisingly good series.
Are there any details known already?
There seems to be some misunderstanding here. The text marked in the screenshot is if you move from the beta version back to the public (stable) version.
Getting into the beta for a new app is nearly instant and allows you to install it right away.
That's already available for insiders and can be enabled, meaning it will soon-ish come to the stable versions of Windows 11.
That was my thought as well, since they count installs and not use count of bought copies directly from a platform.
What if people create cracks for legit purchased games, e.g. on Steam, which only removes the Unity tracking part?
A simple Firewall rule which "fixes it" for all games installed on a machine might work as well?
I believe it might be similar or the same procedure for every game using Unity. We might see this popping up at some point.
Thanks! Updated and working now.
Sadly, the app crashes for me 1–2 seconds after opening it. I'm no longer able to use it. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3
Thank you for the insights and your opinion / decisions on this topic. Very much appreciated, especially by being so detailed.
I particularly looked for an instance which is open and doesn't start restricting users (e.g. disabling image uploads) if anything happens, instead trust all moderators which invest a huge lot of time to keep communities safe and a nice place, even if not on this instance and only act when actually needed.
I agree with most you wrote about, sadly though such reports usually end up with no outcome since those (truly awful) trolls use TOR, VPN or any other available tool to hide their identity / IP from the public. Being an admin and moderator of several communities myself, I know this struggle. Luckily, on Lemmy there's way more freedom / possibilities than on other managed platforms like Reddit or Discord.
Do you believe it might make sense to consider disabling local image caching (e.g. thumbnails coming from other instances) on your server or use any of the available tools to scan images for possible CSAM content and delete such cached content if this gets worse?
Out of interest, slightly related to this topic, how will you handle other instances possibly blocking Reddthat if ever any spambot attacks happen? Is there a strategy behind this, or will you simply act case by case if such ever happens?
My family comes first.
Absolutely, family and friends come first, especially for projects like this which isn't your job / main income (if any ever from this project).
I like the new season, it's less serious, but still continues the story where it ended. I really like that they keep things kind of real, how it actually could look like in the future.
