The guardian does have a semi-paywall in that you can either share your personal data with them or pay. Which in my opinion is a breach of the GDPR but apparently the UK ICO has said it’s fine. Yet another toothless/useless organisation


Looking at the source/mod log/etc. it very much looks like it's using lobsters - https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters


FYI. Ryobi has nothing to do with Home Depot. It's owned by a Hong Kong power tool manufacturer, and used to be Japanese (in fact, Ryobi still exists as a tool manufacturer, just not the power tool division)

Probably the reason they're not in any of the hauls is because they have a reputation for not being very good, and are harder to sell/fence...


This sounds very much like Apple being maliciously compliant. Similar to their complaint against Epic Games... I'd be interested to see what the EU makes of this.


She says that she was doing a 3 month "ramp" - which I can assume is the induction period. She'd only got out of the ramp and started "proper" at the beginning of December, which is what (I think) you heard


Until the new year, when it will be closed down, unless you pay


If I read the post correctly, they are making changes to the API, not the website itself, right?

You will still be able to visit the website and download the subtitles you want. You just won't be able to make use of the API without paying for it.

Edit: Nvm they are going to insert ads everywhere


They’ve been injecting ads during credits for like a decade


They're already showing ads... maybe you don't see them because you're using an adblocker.


I completely forgot I had that active haha


I would say Bevy isn't really similar to Unity. Something like Fyrox - https://fyrox.rs/ - would be more similar. Bevy is more low level and lacks an editor (as of now, it's planned)


Fyrox is a one-person show. It's quite impressive, but it doesn't have the same massive community around it that Bevy does.

Bevy has a very stable ECS architecture and is being intelligently designed and built for the long run.

Bevy's lead developer is working on the editor now and it's getting closer to landing [1, 2].

Someone who needs to start developing right now should use Fyrox right now. I tested the same project in both, and can echo the sentiment that Fyrox is further along and much more similar to classical engines like Godot, Unity or a number of further-along C++ engines.

Bevy breaks things every minor release and is missing key features. If more people supported the Fyrox effort, then the rust gamedev ecosystem would be less vulnerable to a change in bevy's pricing structure just as this Unity change has impacted the wider game dev ecosystem.


The issue here isn't just with free users, it mainly affects users who are already paying fees to Unity


They meant "free" as in speech, not beer. I.e. "the value of non-proprietary software is it won't/can't/shouldn't be able to pull this kind of shit".


Software Heritage have a copy of it here https://bitbucket-archive.softwareheritage.org/projects/ba/b...

Not sure exactly how to do it (not used mercurial in a long time), but I extracted the repository tarball to a directory then used hg clone to make the code usable/readable


I feel like this would be better as a Well-Known URI, for example /.well-known/password-manager.json with similar format to the repo – That way it's not up to Apple to decide what goes in the repository


Sites would immediately use it to essentially disable password managers "for security." Sites have done everything they can to block password managers historically, I don't anticipate that changing.


Why would any site do that? Other than in a banks website I haven't encountered that behaviour previously


You're asking the wrong person: Sites shouldn't do that. But they do, often.

Banks are the worst offenders, but it isn't limited to that. Any site that thinks it is "special" and requires "extra security" targets password managers for reasons unknown.
