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.
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.
Funny how calling someone a jackass is “insulting” to you, but you treat bigotry like fair game.
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.
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.
