I was a child when I got Weird Al's autograph when he performed at an antique car show with the audience all sitting on grass. He was super nice.
Not only will I not spend money at Loblaws stores this month, I will also take $750 away from them by using my points.
Even better is a promotion starts tomorrow that if I spend $60 worth of points, they'll add $20 worth back onto my balance.

I break the spaghetti into 3 pieces before cooking it as then it's much easier to deal with. :)
Better to create your own instance then.
It's about reducing risk not eradicating it and there's a huge difference in risk in being targeted for legal action due to hosting c/piracy (via caching/mirroring) than from a single piracy post in c/hellokitty.
Yeah I agree re opaque policies as if someone can get suspended for this, it would be nice if it was easy to find a policy regarding it. Thanks for your response.
I appreciate your response and I agree. And likewise nothing wrong with the dev making money and fans supporting that too. (I've seen complaints of some people who think all Lemmy apps should be free...and I feel that's very entitled demanding someone else's time and effort for free, but they too can just use free apps.)
Cool. It's great that you did this.
However, my concern is there are no guarantees it wouldn't change and there would be no recourse for Google to give us a refund since from Google's standpoint we gave permission for the app to track our data regardless of whether we paid or not.
Yeah I was going to try the app based on all they hype but I noped out based on the trackers and that you have to accept all those permissions regardless if you pay. A dev saying they won't use the data of paid users -- that isn't the kind of thing I would expect to be enforceable when legally you've already signed permissions for the data to be collected/used.
A post doesn't matter to me if I legally agree for that data to be collected as a requirement for installing the app.
I didn't find anything against having both a paid app and a free app in the Google's Policy Center.
While you can't have two apps called the same thing, e.g., both apps called 'your app name', you can have one app called 'your app name' and another app called 'your app name pro'.
I found advice going back years saying one just needs to create a separate project like this. And here is the most recent source I found saying the same thing and it goes further and lists apps that are on the store with both paid and free versions. I also did my own search and found this example: My Lightning Tracker & Alerts is free and My Lightning Tracker Pro is a paid app.
And regardless the dev saying they won't use the data from paid users -- that doesn't matter to me when legally by using the app I signed away permission for that data to be collected.
I'm Canadian but I expect this sale is on for other countries as well. This also means if you are in the USA -- the price for you to get the Sims 3 bundle is even lower. (EDIT: Note that the bundle doesn't include the Base Game which is required but can also be bought off of steam.)
This impacts more than just cheaters. Rockstar apparently didn't enable Proton support with Battleye meaning many Linux users can no longer play GTA Online. I don't play GTAO but I am not looking forward to when I can no longer play Red Dead Online.
"As we mentioned previously, BattlEye on Proton integration has reached a point where all a developer needs to do is reach out BattlEye to enable it for their title. No additional work is required by the developer besides that communication." source: https://store.steampowered.com/news/group/4145017/view/3104663180636096966
