That depends entirely on what kind of data is stored and how often a new unique ID is created, and that's something users can seize control over.

They put ads in books too, unfortunately. The internet ones you can block.

It doesn't track users. It collects anonymous statistics and assign them to a unique ID without storing any other information about the user.

And it IS meant to replace cookies, but you can't just replace them all at once and disable the legacy cookies. It is going to have a gradual transition.

And they did tell us about this many months ago.

Let go. It'll be quick and painless.

Indie gamedev is where it's at.

Also disingeneous to call it adding ads to firefox, because that's also not what is happening. They're trying to replace cookies with something better for our privacy, and them developing this feature will not impact any users who block ads or disable tracking cookies already.

I think they should go ahead and make the feature so that people who don't care about ads at least don't get tracked.

Revenge fork is a weird name for these forks. A fork is a fork, even a tiny change like changing the logo is a legitimate fork.

If anything if the Godot community could stop harassing the fork owners, that would be great. Them receiving harassment is the most ironic part about this, because there is more proof of that than the harassment the Godot community manager claims they faced.

It is made for various things like game development. When my company was working on remastering a GameCube game, Nintendo themselves handed us a devkit, and we used the dolphin emulator to play the original game and compare gameplay and performance.

It takes a while getting used to anything. Gimp does have a Photoshop keyboard shortcut preset, to ease you into it.

And gimp does have some parts that are better. For example importing a bunch of images and lining them up on a spritesheet is both faster and easier on Gimp. And both Photoshop and gimp have scripts to do this, but I was never able to get the Photoshop script to work.
