I guess that puts to rest the “I wasn’t going to buy that game anyway…” nonsense.

Buy a replacement SSD and stick it in there before selling. Reinstall Windows. Maybe buy a cheap key and reactivate the license. You can get a 1TB SSD for ~$60 these days.

A lot of people are going to want a “ready to play” PC.

I was not. What is transmitted is not user activity. It’s all there in your link.

You just intentionally omitted a bunch of pertinent information…

Not really. The browser is tracking the user. All user activity remains local in the browser.

What?

That’s up to you

I don’t think there’s a reality where advertising disappears entirely. However I do think there is one where advertising is simply less-invasive, which is what companies like Mozilla, Brave, and Ad Nauseum advocate for.

Mullvad is great but also breaks ~20% of sites.

I have to disagree for 2 reasons:

1. What’s the alternative? We cant evaluate browsers in a vacuum.

2. Every browser is supported by ads. Advertising has been a part of Firefox since its inception. Im not sure why people are only just now realizing this, I’ve been saying it for years. I dont know that there’s another feasible way to fund development.

We can easily recommend one of the many Firefox forks. Personally I’ve been enjoying Zen browser, which has telemetry disabled and cannot be enabled.

Otherwise we’ll have to wait for Ladybird to be finished.

It seems implied that it wasn’t

Yes that’s what I said. What you said is that it was “literally what happened” which led me to believe you had some sort of proof.

That’s not the developer, that’s a Discord mod, and they said in that message specifically that they haven’t heard anything from the dev. It also says nothing about what “the agreement” is. It could very well be a legal settlement.

It says nothing of the sort.

While I don’t support pirating products that are currently for sale

I do when Nintendo refuses to make them available on other (higher quality) hardware and also treats their paying consumers and fans like scum. I can boot up Doom on any of a dozen different computers 30 years later and play to my heart’s content but that’s not an option for Nintendo. Piracy generally is completely justified by a vast array of anti-consumer bullshit. If they can’t make games without resorting to that bullshit, fuck 'em. I hope they go under.

No one hates Nintendo players more than Nintendo

Sauce?

This reads a lot like Nintendo just paid the dev to take it all down.

It has one. But all the unexplored places were blocked off.

Played it for a few hours but got bored very quickly when I didnt know where to go and just ended up running back and forth over the same areas over and over again.

I really hate games that give you zero direction.
