 I don't think Israel realizes how this supply-chain attack means that every Israeli software developer and hardware developer will now be treated as a potential attacker on the company payroll.

Every commit should be treated as being developed by Mossad.

And to think it was only a few months ago that we learned about the helpful contributor that injected trojans on open source libraries. 
 It is now Wikipedia official, after a long and painful debate.

It is a genocide.

Sidebar: and it is so, because the US has ensured that it will continue to be funded and will do everything in its power to let it continue. 
 Israel is an apartheid state, glad I don’t have to argue this anymore with internet randos.

 @04769657 each host definition has an option to configure the session preservation, and it is one of three settings:

 @04769657 let me investigate if I can expose that.  What is the ideal language for you?  I think it might be easy to have a setting to force to English

 @04769657 is your connection configured to use native session preservation, tmux or none?

It should transparently and automatically restore any sessions if you use “native” or “tmux” 
 @2836a58e Interesting idea.  Probably would make people uncomfortable, but I like the general idea of being able to transcribe my interactions and have it easily searchable.   Challenge is that this probably is illegal in assorted places.

 @e029f585 yes, I am using the first match from preferredLanguages to pick the localized resource

 @e029f585 thanks!   I think I have a plan to fix this. 
 @e029f585 mhm, do you have your language or keyboard set to it?  Clearly I have a bug detecting the localized language to

 @1aa6d670 they were, but have been profitable this year.   There is an easy solution: to adjust their expense to their market.

They have entered and acquired too much they couldn’t monetize.  Those are their faults, and the current leadership has shown that rather than making hard decisions towards their appetite that milking their customers is simpler.

Send them a message they can’t ignore.

 @30a83efa @874ff3d1 well it started with a “let me build a game to try this out”, and I am deep in yak shaving territory at this point building libraries :-)

 @874ff3d1 that said, I just did a major update last week.  Pretty happy with it.

 Unity’s license change not only screws their customers, but the larger ecosystems

Now everyone needs to put guardrails in place against a greedy executive that might want to double tax you

The only way to stop this cancer from spreading is for it to fail abysmally

Do your part 
 oday it was a mandatory runtime fee.  Tomorrow it might be mandatory revenue share.   Or higher prices.

They will just keep extracting value for as long as the market lets them.  And they got a captive audience they can milk.

Plan accordingly.

 @0a41d279 well Godot fell into the marketing trap of .net core “jump ship, it’s the future” and they jumped before it was ready.

They should have kept the production system.  But the allure of the latest and greatest was too strong to resist.   I told them to wait.  Now they are the ones waiting.

 Lord, forgive me for I have loved this high quality snark.   And I had  promised myself I wouldn’t do this in my mature age.  I will try to be better in the next life:
