You need to self regulate though and assume all data you give these companies will be sold. At this point unless it's ride sharing , apps don't get my location. If they means I can't use the apps, that's fine.
It wouldn't be the worst thing if tommorow Social Media was effectively banned. It's done enough wrong in the world
Shut em all down !

If you can't give a shit about the security of your user's personal information / safety , you shouldn't exist.
One of the more rewarding experiences I had last year was attending Meetups with people significantly older than myself.
The older you get , the harder making friends becomes. It's so bad I'd suggest to comp sci majors to consider a Liberal Arts degree instead if they're having trouble socializing.
If I was King, I'd say this is perfectly fine as long as The Match Group ( Tinder's parent) clearly states the pricing tiers somewhere. My personal opinion is most people are better served by deleting their apps and being more involved in their community.
That said, this is downright illegal in most counties. You can't charge people different prices based on protected classes. It's like having a grocery store charge older people more since they tend to spend more time in the store.
Match's former parent IAC just spun them off. I reckon they know it's about to fall apart.
Anyway, I know I constantly meet better people once I went social media free. I'm much happier as well. Life is too short to spend it talking to bots on an app.
If you can get these working as Unity post processing shaders I'd pay for it .
This looks interesting, but I'm too lazy to venture beyond Unity in my game Dev journey
I recall once a co worker said they'd never use Android again since it froze when trying to call 911.
Gives Apple more ammo in their fight against Epic, users expect their phones to work , which Apple can't guarantee if anyone can run whatever binary they find.
I'll make up something scifi like. On planet x they use short term Seismic wave to move data around. How would we on earth ever pick that up
Or one of the first things civilizations figure out is to not broadcast your presence.
Or ... Everyone else in the universe found peace by stopping at the stone age , before all this social media made us miserable.
It's just conjecture, but I imagine aliens exist, but they might not even be in a form re recognize.
I would like Flutter to take over since it combines the best of Java /C# ( types) with the best of JavaScript/ Python ( dynamic variables which can be any type ).
I'm fairly experienced and I still can't throw up an HTTP server in Rust, even with libraries.
I almost can do in with NodeJS and Express from memory.
Something like
app = require('express')
app.listen('/', function ( req, res ){ res.send (' Hi Hn') }) ; It's ok for different languages to do different things.
I can't imagine anyone being faster with Rust than Python or JS. Of course eventually Rust gets a performance boost, but it's never going to matter unless you're talking about a larger scale project.
Very few people use Linux as their desktop is. To be honest they should allow you to reply to the email and allow a cancelation, but you following into an edge case isn't deliberate.
I fully expect Apple to cancel my subscription via Mail and refund me back dated to when the letter was post dated !
My point is Apple isn't doing this on purpose to you, you're just in a very strange use case
At best I'd get 10 hours of gaming here.
Don't get me wrong, I want this to succeed. I want to be able to play COD or Halo from anywhere with a 5g connection. But with such high data usage it's DOA
Jesus Christ.
So of I want to go to game on my phone while I take the bus for an hour I've blown 10gbs from my data plan.
The only thing keeping me on Xbox Gamepass is the fact I can download games locally. At first I really liked it, but then connection dropped so much games where unplayable ( on WiFi )
The vast vast majority of people have access to a Windows PC or Apple product. How you ended up in this edge case I'll never know.
To take this to it's logical conclusion, what if you don't run JavaScript on your browsers. Would they also need to give you a cancelation page which doesn't require JavaScript.
If your in some strange edge case where your subscribing to services and then discarding your IOS devices before canceling , that's on you. In a worst case scenario you could borrow a friend's Windows PC. As much as I love Linux I can't imagine most Linux users don't have at least one windows PC or Mac.
If we really want to get technical, spin up an AWS instance, RDP into it, install iCloud for windows and then cancel your subscription.
As much as I like Tim Sweeney's arguments for lower royalties, he doesn't have half a toe to stand on.
Don't want to pay the Apple tax, make your own phone. This fairness coalition is free to manufacture Android phones with a no royalties store . Hogan's Law on YouTube has done a very good take on this. The government can not compel two companies to engage in a contract. If I set up a newspaper stand and decide anyone who wants to sell news papers needs to cut me in for 30%, you can't demand special treatment.
I could see Apple making an example out of Epic and banning them for life. You don't sneak in hidden functionality, and then flick it on via a server side command
Basically I'm working on a small Unity game with a contractor, so far I've put in about 2k for art and assets, the contractor will probably end up being another 2k or so.I plan on spending up to 10k of my own money. At which point should I seek out funding, can I hire someone to run social media and build hype ?Or should I self publish my small game with what limited resources I have ?
