The company Unity is exploiting Unity the development platform. Developers have a choice to use it. But at the end of the day, it's an analogy. It won't be perfect. My point remains that this is perhaps the only way an end user can boycott Unity. By not using products that use it. If you have a better way of doing so, I'm all ears.

It isn't "Scorched earth". It's boycotting by proxy.

>Unity themselves have given enough incentive.

Sure, if they change on their own volition, then I have no need to boycott those developers. This adds to that incentive should they not do so.

(copied from my other comment)

I.e. I have no real way to boycott Nestle, but if enough people stop buying their products, the stores will carry fewer of them. Yea, the stores (or devs, or cafes) will get hurt in the short term, but only if they're insistent on not listening to their users/the market.

I used a hyperbole to get my point across. I'm not equating the two.

I mean, even not using them as a development platform is something. But I don't get the logic behind supporting them as a purchaser of games? Is it just FOMO?

Is it really though? As an end user, I don't actively buy things from massive coffee distributors, just as I do not use unity to develop things. If the cafe, in this example, carries other beans- I'd have no reason not to buy those instead.

The boycotting happens by proxy. This isn't a hard concept to understand.

Wow, I should have read their wiki. Goldmine!

Yep! Here ya go https://pastebin.com/6fhmdaNQ

I've tried to comment things as I go. Hope you find it helpful!

Haven't had a chance to implement it, but this sounds rad. I never thought to use hover in userchrome.css!

Brilliant! Thank you!

Oh heck! That's rad. I'll have to play around with that. I use sidebery so this is aces. Thank you!

Those developers will then need to pivot in response to market changes. But yes, that's often how it goes.

If you boycott a child-labor produced coffee, and it just so happens that your favourite indie cafe uses that as their main coffee because it's so cheap! Yea, that cafe will suffer.

>Not to mention that a lot of gamers have no idea what engine their favorite games use.

If you start to boycott something, you typically have done some research (why else would you have wanted to boycott it in the first place). I.e boycotting Nestle means that you research where the company may have their fingers in and avoid that.

> If you play indie PC games you can’t boycott Unity without missing a ton of really good games.

The naivete involved in expecting to boycott a product without having any inconveniences never ceases to amuse me.

The very nature of boycotting necessitates that you will miss out on things. If you never used the product/byproduct, what effect would your boycott have? It's like a bald person boycotting a hair cuttery, who cares?

As they say, those who don't understand / learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Apple learned that having them separate was more beneficial, a lesson Google and Spotify have not.

How would you do that latter part? I currently have a userchrome.css for something similar but I wasn't aware that you could have conditionals in css.

Yep! This and a few userchrome.css modifications is all it took for me. A few css transitions and hidden elements and viola, it functions better than edge does.

Google absolutely has qualm about you using Firefox. Yes, they pay Moz money to keep them as the preferred search, but that's because it's the better of two options (no data at all from you, or at least your search data).

But if you need evidence that Google has qualms about you using other browsers, look at how poorly supported other browsers are for google services.

That would -rock-.

>I was a stress eater up until late July when I started with strict OMAD/keto. I lost 8kg and reduced waist circumference by 11cm.

Wow! Congratulations. That's an incredible feat. As someone re-starting this journey, I know it's not easy. Good luck to you :)

Miniflux is great. I've been self-hosting it for about two years now. It's rock solid. The OP uses an android app, but I've been getting a lot of use out of just having the website on my phone as a webapp. The software has fever and greader api support, so RSS apps like Reeder (mac and ios) and FeedMe (android) work as well.

I really love that you can target scraping rules (using css) and block/allow rules (using regex). It's a wonderful software.

There's a clear difference between skepticism and cynicism. I don't think one needs to be a cynic to be skeptical about outlandish or otherwise scientifically unproven claims (i.e. religion). If we are to look at the greek roots/ schools of thought. Cynics were engaged in finding fault in everything whereas Skeptics were thought to doubt claims (even those generally held true) and requiring substantial proof.

I don't know enough about your world view or anything, but you don't sound like a cynic.

You can disagree without being angry or cynical. That you think you need to be cynical, pissed, or "pissing on the happy-go-lucky-parade" to disagree and engage with real problems is the notion I hold issue with.

>So, they wouldn't be doing it unless they really had to.

I can think of a handful of reasons why they may do so.

Being a contrarian is not hard. It certainly does not mean that the person being a contrarian is right (or right to do so, especially if the methods is being an insufferable colleague).

>Often, the people who are not cynical or angry are avoiding the real problems. Or they don't care, are just hanging around collecting a paycheck, etc.

I vehemently disagree with every thought presented in this comment.

These sentiments seem to come from a very jaded space. To think that the only people who are not cynical / angry are those that are avoiding the "real problems" (in what/ whose definition?).

In my experience, the happiest people are those who have acknowledged these problems. If they have the opportunity (and power) to act on resolutions they do so and if not, they came to peace with that reality. It certainly is possible to process the same things as you and engage with these so called real problems without turning into a cynic.

Perhaps these "happy bullshitters" are more adept at acknowledging these problems and their ability to act on it.

Then obviously this isn't for you. There will always be edge cases where things don't work. Even if you take away "new-age brain rewiring bullshit" and turn to trusty ol' western medicine, it doesn't work for everyone.

You may as well be a bald person complaining about a hairstylist's article - "Ah! but I'm bald! No amount of styling will give me hair!"

What now?

Yours looks ... shady.

Jokes aside, thanks for building this! It looks swell and I really enjoy your sense of humor on your readme as well. Looking forward to poking around tonight!

Thank you for this! I had no idea I could fav comments.

I know, It's a shame LG no longer wants to make phones. Just saying -it seemed- like it. I also really enjoyed LG phones (G3 - G5 was really good). lol

I'm not saying you're wrong, but your use of "god tier" so many times makes it seem like you're being paid to post that.

Why even bother posting that? This doesn't contribute to this post in any way

The title is a bit misleading and would be clarified a lot more with the inclusion of "New" as in "New Firefox users may import Chrome extensions now"

Did you read the article?
