I’m trying to figure out the gap in the market you’re trying to fill other than “for steam fan boys it would allow us fans of steam games that already exist in a native place, in a non native place!”

Correct me what is going into it that isn’t already somewhere, and who that appeals to?

Or is this just thought experiment?

What would you suggest they sell on their Android store that users would be so encouraged to install a new store and then what they want?

Steam already has a store on Android, you just can’t play games there because most games on steam either already exist on the native google play store, or aren’t compatible with mobile architectures like Arm64. Most mobiles unlike a arm laptop, have no x86/amd64 emulator which is what those games are compiled as by their developers.

So what’s left?

Enterprise applications are often developed by the most “quick, ship this feature” form of developers on the world. Unless the client is paying for the development a quick look at the sql table shows often unsalted passwords in a table.

I’ve seen this in construction, medical, recruitment and other industries.

Until cyber security requires code auditing for handling and maintaining PII as law, mostly its a “you’re fine until you get breached” approach. Even things like ACSC Australia cyber security centre, has limited guidelines. Practically worthless. At most they suggest having MFA for Web facing services. Most cyber security insurers have something but it’s also practically self reported. No proof. So if someone gets breached because someone left everyone’s passwords in a table, largely unguarded, the world becomes a worse place and the list of user names and passwords on haveibeenpwned grows.

Edit: if a client pays and therefore has control to determine things like code auditing and security auditing etc as well as saml etc etc, then it’s something else. But say in the construction industry I’ve seen the same garbage tier software used at 12 different companies, warts and all. The developer is semi local to Australia ignoring the offshore developers…

Loud people with big audiences should be called out when they’re saying dangerous things. Marginalised people didn’t get rights by being quiet.

Be loud be proud. Call it out.

His audience will grow up to be the ones who have that kind of thinking as they turn from teens, twenties and into their thirties.

He reaches a lot of ears. https://twitchtracker.com/asmongold/statistics shows a huge audience but it’s people calling him out that have slowly turned his viewer base from growing to receding. As more people learn how worthless his opinion is, more people turn him off for good.

So yeah, you should care to spread the message that when someone loud is speaking misinformation, your own voice gives those who listen to him an opportunity to make a choice to lose trust in someone they were watching for their hot takes.

It works. The statistics show that. Even if it’s only because the algorithm stops promoting them too once the line stops going up.

It’s dangerous making conclusions from big assumptions.

Is the kind of reasoning that leads to bias.

Is that different from this one I remember watching years ago? https://youtu.be/OZzIvl1tbPo

Note I’m not really… Good at math nor really understand it.

I’ll still watch an entertainer and someone good at what they do for entertainment either way.

Wow I read through the blog post and though I’m not a developer I’ve compiled and built Linux packages and operating systems in the past so now I want to fly home and give your script a go myself.

I enjoyed your write up. I can’t comment on programming, but I enjoy a good journey and story.

My final takeaway is your image. I’ll keep it in mind. Interesting!
