The app automatically installs Bing Visual Search and includes code to decrypt cookies saved in other browsers, Rivera said, and it also brings a “free” geolocation web API to the system.
The developer discovered “many” nasty tricks Microsoft integrated in Bing Wallpapers, which include trying to change the browser’s settings and set Edge as the default system browser. If the default browser isn’t Edge, the app will open the default browser after some time asking to enable the previously installed Microsoft Bing Search for Chrome extension.
That is until they kicked everyone out for being “nazis”
As a general rule, I support the removal of nazis.
Nobody is against the removal of nazis.
Have you asked a nazi about that?
They do Nazi the problem with that.
I dunno, your comments seem to have a certain tilt.
Point to a comment where I show support for nazis. Strawman arguments is all you have to defend your points. Once again you fail to formulate an objective argument.
You are the one who keep bringing up Nazi’s. You can’t bring it up, have people agree it’s good to remove Nazi’s, and then say “whoa I support the people kicked out, I don’t support nazi’s” after you yourself said they were kicked out for being nazis.
You’re your own unreliable narrator and it is both hilarious and embarrassing.
I read their sentence, with “nazis” in quotes as meaning that they weren’t really nazis. As if the quotes were air quotes if said in person.
Wow. Looked at you comment history and you are not well liked. Later gator.
Yes, I get downvoted a lot on Lemmy, yet nobody seems to be able to say why I’m wrong on these issues. Users of Lemmy resort to downvoting when they can’t defend their arguments. It is a fact that humans are more eager to show their disapproval than approval for something, like in restaurant reviews, where the only people who bother to leave a review are those with bad experiences.
Also, I’d be wary of basing your opinion explicitly off what other people think. You need to formulate your own thoughts if you want to retain some sort of identity.
You got absolutely obliterated because you posted two links to ‘articles,’ one of which is just some guys blog, and then refused to defend anything the articles said.
Also you don’t ‘defend’ a counter argument. You started the argument, offered a blog as ‘proof’ of an issue, when pressed on what the blog said you backed down and refused to defend it, and you just accuse everyone around of you of not having independent thought.
YOU LITERALLY DID THIS. A guy said ‘The Godot Engine is getting better every day.’ in a post about Microsoft screwing up an app and you, yes, you started complaining about the team behind the engine! You’re like the living embodiment of irony, hahahahahaha
If you want an anti-woke game engine, what are you doing on an operating system whose mascot is a transgender foxgirl?
You realize it’s open source and you don’t need their blessing to use it right?
You’re not entitled to force people to deal with you being a raging jackass.
Yes, everyone knows that. What they did is banned developer accounts, thus preventing you from contributing to it.
There it is. The community of inclusion once again unable to express their thoughts without insulting people. Almost comical, but I guess there’s nothing funny about hypocrisy.
They banned “developer” accounts who were being incredibly disruptive throwing a tantrum about the social media account celebrating games with a wide variety of perspectives. I don’t think there’s any actual evidence for them banning a single person who ever did anything useful, but it doesn’t actually matter. They aren’t obligated to let you be in their community.
Don’t behave like a raging jackass and you won’t be called one. I’m not obligated to ignore bad behavior either. It’s perfectly OK to call bad people behaving badly bad people.
Sure, if by not doing anything useful you mean donating money to the project, and saying that the project should focus on the project [1].
Beautiful statement.
The fact is the mass banning was not justified, and people were not being “raging jackass”, no matter how many times you call them that. There’s a reason Godot apologized for the incident, yet you fail to see that.
Donating money doesn’t give you free rein to be an asshole, and shockingly, their donations went way up when they removed the trash.
They elected to decide that some of the people being jackasses didn’t technically violate their community guidelines and apologized, but that doesn’t mean that there was a single person who was banned who didn’t deserve it. Yes, jumping on a bandwagon of unforgivable horseshit without technically saying a banned thing still makes you a bad person, and yes, everyone they banned should have stayed banned.
If you think he was being an asshole in that sentence, then I guess we’re done here.
Good thing they never said that.
Funny how calling someone a jackass is “insulting” to you, but you treat bigotry like fair game.
“Jackass” is indeed an insult, no need to put it between quotations. And here you accuse me of treating bigotry like fair game without proof. The truth is here Godot messed up and you aren’t willing to see that because it would expose you as a hypocrite. Remember Godot apologized for the incident, yet here you are defending it.
Glad you see it as well. It’s so fundamental to how they engage online, the hypocrisy becomes them.
Bold coming from someone who recently took a strong stance on support of sexual assault against women.
Lol what? No don’t bother, something is wrong here, and I’m not engaging with you ever again.
You mean a few github accounts and a bunch of jerks on Discord, which you are bringing up on Lemmy?
If anything this is just another repudiation of Discord as a whole. I hate how its eating the internet like mad cow disease.
No, I mean titanium level backer of the project. What does being on Lemmy matter?
Yes blocking major backers is bad, I agree with that. The mod behind this kind of sounds unpleasant too.
Discord is like the antithesis of Lemmy, a siloed off, inefficient, unscrapable, private, proprietary and dangerously monopolistic echo chamber. I’ve seen it swallow too many of my niches, and from my experience, it turns people into jerks.
Hence what I’m getting at is that this may not have happened without all that nonsense in the unoffiical discord.

So… one article that explains the situation as “Godot said something inclusive, bigots got angry, started harassment campaign,” and another full of dog whistles?
Bruh, you a fuckin clown.
I didn’t read the articles, and don’t care about how they frame the issue. This is for the guy who asked what I was talking about.
Perfect.
So you… posted articles you didn’t read in support of yourself, but you won’t defend them?
Yes.
Lol, “excessive pandering to LGBT…”
Brave little CIS boi standing up to Big Gay, what a fucking hero.
He’s saying they should work on the engine instead of pandering. I feel like that’s a reasonable request, especially from a backer
Seriously do you guys read what you’re writing after you write it? Is there no moment of introspection where you go “Huh, so they’re helping a minority group that is currently being attacked by powerful members of our society… by being inclusive. I wonder if that is a net good, and that helping people under attack is a sign of strength and not ‘pandering’?” or do you skip to “People I don’t like are openly accepted by others, and their acceptance is abhorrent to my backing of their” (checks notes) “video game engine. I must rage at this horrible injustice!”
The sheer volume of queer people who’ve made the games you play would cause you to froth at the mouth. Those same queer people can’t even be out anymore without being shot at a gay bar by some fanatic, or walk down the street and not get assaulted. The humanitarian actions of a company that accepts donations is not reliant on checking with each backer to ask if they’re okay helping people. Fuck them if they aren’t.
I think you should take a look in the mirror and think, really think, about if a company helping people is in any way abhorrent to you, and what that says about you. Because I know that you know someone impacted by the opposite of that help, and you know their lives improve every time someone who isn’t queer, or a visible minority, or a woman, steps out and says “No, fuck this, we’re helping these people.”
You can be that person.
They’re a game engine, not ABDL or whatever. Why would anyone listen to game engine devs on political matters?
(Quick edit because I can’t believe I have to say this: If you think people saying other people are allowed to be gay is ‘political’ you seriously, seriously need to reevaluate your beliefs.)
I don’t know, why are you whiny babies talking about it? Look at the topic of this fucking post. It’s about a Microsoft app that’s malware.
Yet… what’s this? The people whining about people being helped brought it up, unwarranted, and inserted into discussion. So my answer is to ask your self.
Kaboom is a regular poster on the conservative community on Lemmy and also an actual fascist. Is it really at all surprising they’re complaining about it?
You’re allowed to state your beliefs, and gay people are allowed to exist. When it comes to a project, it’s best to stay on topic.
Dude I think they’re just humans trying to be nice to other humans.
