I truly feel bad for unity developers here. While unity as a company was always a bit shitty from what I’ve heard, the engine itself still was a very low barrier to entry into game development, however now it feels like you are being punished for releasing something which is marginally successful.
If you are looking for Unity alternatives, I’d like to suggest Godot. While some things are rough around the edges the engine has made huge improvements in the last year or so. It’s developed by a small independent team as well as it’s own community and completly open source, effectively eliminating the chance for corporated fuckery like in Unity’s case.
If you are from Europe, especially German-speaking countries: So called Buntbartschlüssel (literal translation: colorful beard keys) are very popular for older buildings and garden sheds as well as for interior doors in residential buildings.
There are around 70 different types with you being able to spot which one is need by just looking inside the keyhole, there are handy charts for this purpose.
Last time I sent an SMS was like 7 years ago or something like that.
Companies still use them to send you verification codes (which depending on your country can be a mayor security risk) and reminders, but otherwise it’s mainly WhatsApp or other messagers like Telegram or Signal.
Mich wundert das jetzt nicht so. Ich hab mich zwar nie bei der Polizei beworben, aber ich kann mir gut vorstellen, dass das Deutsch was dabei vorausgesetzt wird auch von vielen Muttersprachlern nicht beherrscht wird.
Immerhin ist Polizist, entgegen der popularmedialen Darstellung, auch ein ziemlich bürokratielastiger Job, der eine gewisse Sicherheit in Wort und vor allem auch Schrift benötigt.
GDPR didn’t give you cookie banners, it’s shitty websites that do.
If they were to just follow activated “Do not Track”-Preferences, they wouldn’t need to ask, instead they would deactived them by default. Or you could just not use cookies, it’s not like somebody forces you to give cookies out to your website’s users.
Bei uns in der Nähe gibt’s eine Kirche in der manchmal Konzerte von lokalen Musikern und Gesangsvereinen aus der Region stattfinden. Wirklich ausgelastet ist die Kirche dadurch zwar nicht, aber immerhin ist das eine gute Möglichkeit für die Vereine Räumlichkeiten für ihre Konzerte zu haben.
As a small kid i once rode my kickscooter in a similar parked car, cause to be honest I wasn’t looking and also wasn’t expecting a car to pretrude like one meter into the sidewalk. While I was definitly careless (and also like 5) you should expect accidents happening when you leave stuff in places they don’t belong.
I vaguelly remember around this time some low end computers were shipped with FreeDOS instead of Windows, in order to save on licencing fees. AFAIK this was the case because legislation in some european countries restricted the sale of new computers to ones which had an OS preinstalled.
Maybe XP was installed after the purchases however a partition with FreeDOS/whatever remained as the default boot option. Hence your parents had to select the other boot option (Windows XP) manually. Granted you could change your primary boot partition permanently, but maybe your parents didn’t know this.
