  2. Comment on Steam recently made a fundamental change to indie game discoverability in ~games

    Spotting smaller Steam games getting more front page referrer traffic than they used to? That’s cos, some time recently, Valve changed the featured front-page games in 'Discounts & Events' (the non-Daily Deal ones) to be more personalized to logged-in player interests.

    A few friends with smaller games confirmed the same, essentially 0 visits became a few thousand.

    But they aren’t doing “intelligence”, they’re doing advanced statistics.

    To be clear, Luddit is a someone who "protested the usage of certain types of automated machinery owing to their concerns over worker pay, labour savings, child labour, working conditions, and output quality." (from wiki).
    It was never against technology per se, it was always against corporation culture. As far as I know.

    I was definitely very much unsure dozen years ago, but now I have two kids. They are pain in the ass most of the times (there some complications that I do not want to discuss), but they are precious to me and they are my family.

    We do not know what happens in the future.

    We can't know what happens in the future, and this is both horrible and both wonderful.

    Upd: it's definitely giant responsibility, but... All our life is giant responsibility.

    Main issue (imho) is that absolutely nothing prevents LG from updating firmware to actively connect to any open WiFi network near you, and send info anyway.
