Thanks, I'll use the delay feature. I accept that this has nothing to do with Godot.
I did find the TOS in question, as expected, it's very old (from 2019):
https://web.archive.org/web/20201111183311/https://github.co...
So people saying "who's to say they won't do this again," if four years isn't enough for you to catch up, I don't know what to tell you.
Edit: They have also brought the repo back, which was likely another unrelated change:
Jan '22 TOS does not have such a clause either (from archive.org):
https://web.archive.org/web/20220716041837/https://unity.com...
At this point I'm pretty sure this is a dishonest attempt to dig up a 2020 change (if this clause even ever existed, which I've seen zero proof of) and correlate it to a 2023 announcement as if these things were done in tandem.
Downvote me all you want. I don't think Godot et al will survive with these scummy tactics.
I have never seen a Unity TOS that specified versions as seen in the screenshot of the link you shared. Where did they get that screenshot from? They need to share their source. For all we know this is a change from 2020 (latest version referred to in their screenshot).
In which case I think you will agree that is plenty of notice and most likely unrelated to be maliciously related to what's being announced now. They've even walked back the applicability to old versions as seen in GP.
If they are willing to retroactively change the TOS once, why wouldn't they do it again once the smoke has settled?
I haven't seen any evidence they did that, it's mostly been FUD from Godot supporters. The initial communication was messy, but where are actual TOS changes that are being touted so loudly?
I’ve written several books using Foam and VScode and I avoid those communities like the plague precisely because they love the tool more than the problems it solves.
I’ve also published (and maintain) several websites using special tags and Hugo tools that compile to HTML markup complete with the requisite hyperlinks and attachments.
I don’t like Obsidian much, personally. I love to customize my tools just enough to get them out of the way.

It is refreshingly rare to see anyone who's made it rich tell their actual story rather than some revisionist hit piece.
Sadly, more often than not, someone else has to do it for them.
All you have to do is look at games made with Unity and compare with games made with Godot.
The proof, as they say, is in the pudding.
Unity never became successful in terms of profit. It isn’t FOSS but people treat it as such. I mean look at this:

Unity has bottom of the barrel users for the most part, it will be good for the company if these demanding yet unprofitable people go elsewhere.
I see. And this error explains why I’m being downvoted and don’t deserve any other answers?
Looks like you know a lot about F2P games, can you help me understand this fee in the context of other variables such as cost of customer acquisition? Is that usually a much lower amount than 20 cents? What about 2 cents, which would be the cost on a pro license, which most successful F2P devs would assuredly be able to afford?
I’m hoping you can answer these with concrete data. If that’s not possible, could you share your references?
Godot is the new Unity, Unity is the new Unreal, and Unreal is the new Source engine, complete with the accompanying storefront.
It's incomprehensible to me how gullible people are around AI today -- the Eliza effect coupled with a pseudoscientific impulse to "whatever appears to work".
Incomprehensible perhaps, but not even a smidge unpredictable. You knew exactly what you would find in this comment thread.
If they do that and it can be proven they did that, they can end up in a bad place. However, it does happen that the owner finds out too late in the first place. In those cases they usually gain a new construction...
It doesn't look like a mismatch to me. Looks like L6+ engineering work.
Yeah this reads like satire. I hope it is, anyway.
You don't have to put yourself down to have an open mind or a beginner's mind. Realistically you are aware that you are not below average in all contexts, no? So what does it mean to tell yourself otherwise? False humility? Self deprecation? Doesn't seem very healthy.
As the other commenters said, it's about testing your palate vs. your tongue. I made a mistake in my original comment where I said you don't have a sense of taste without smell, I meant to say you have only taste (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, umami) absent the flavors your olfactory equipment provides.
Get some (sugar free) rose water [0] and drink it. Compare with water. If they taste the same, you might be missing out on a lot of taste (but you will still be able to taste, say, salt vs. sweet).
More simply put though, if you definitely don't have a sense of smell, you most likely don't have a sense of taste either. I lost my sense of smell due to Covid for a bit, so I have some first-hand experience.

Given that this isn't handpicked and just top results from a 2-minute search:
That's 12 years old but a legitimate complaint about AWS customer service.
Should have at least prompted you to do your own search. The fact that it didn't is the end of this discussion.
AWS is _extremely_ customer friendly and if this happened would likely be offering dedicated support to make it right, credits for the business loss, etc.
It doesn't take much legwork to find counterexamples of that claim, even on HN (see below, I spent 2 minutes searching to find those).
Google's customer service is the worst I've experienced in the industry (like even speaking to a person is hard). While AWS is some of the best I've received.
This is a bit too hyperbolic for me, but on balance I agree that Amazon has better customer experience than Google. That doesn't really answer what GP is asking, especially given all the posts made about AWS on this very forum that only sometimes get attention.

Is it just less common or different business takes on quotas and rate limits?
Neither, you're probably not seeking out such stories (there are plenty, even on HN). Google tends to get more negative attention on this particular forum, which might play a role, but the larger component is probably just chance.

What light? There is none if you're talking about t=995.
"The Ego Trick" by Julian Baggini might be a bit more directly related to the subject at hand.
The whole point of YC was to imbue every founder with "do not be evil" in their DNA.
I'm sorry to say, but that's not in line with reality. Is there a specific source that has led you to believe this?
"Do not be evil" is a fairly vague tenet anyhow. The "whole point" of YC (if there ever was such a thing) at inception, was to test a thesis that pg et al had regarding startup incubation. It was actually a somewhat controversial idea at the time, so much so that YC had trouble finding investors.
Afaict, as long as you are a success, YC doesn't really care how you get there, as long as it isn't something illegal or otherwise obviously detrimental for investors. This is, of course, in part because one of the simpler proxies for "evil" is legality. Investors do often end up benefiting from legislation lagging behind tech and moral gray areas.
I appreciate the sentiment, but iirc, in Reddit's case: the investors told them exactly what to build in the first place.

Did you miss the part of the email where remote employees near offices are "strongly encouraged" to switch to hybrid?
Not to mention that even in-person workplaces (especially at large companies) still involve plenty of remote interaction due to the global nature of the workforce. Plenty of Googlers being required to be in-office will actually be working alone in-office, with their teammates far away...
The OP just said "ridiculous" so many times that it appeared they wouldn't entertain a serious reply anyhow.
No, they aren't happening. Everybody is sanitizing all of their user inputs in against all possible vectors and when administrators visit such user generated content and their cookies just happen to expire at that moment, they just enter their password into the dialog securely and go about their day. Their password does not grant any sort of elevated privilege to any systems.
Stop ruminating on such ridiculous fantasies and occupy your mind with something productive instead.
