I feel like whatever point Steve is trying to make here could have been a community post or even a short rather than what looks like a 45 minute hit piece on his competitor.
This appears (from the thumbnail and first few minutes of content) to be drama for the sake of drama. If anyone can summarise to the contrary, please do.
It's been pretty good. I have noticed the default sort order ('Active') results in the feed getting stale pretty quickly. Changing the default to 'New' has been a better experience so far, at least at the current level of activity.
I have had a few issues subscribing to communities on remote instances (i.e. not showing up in search, or showing up but with an empty feed when content definitely exists when I check the web UI) - this does not appear to be an SFW/NSFW issue, and some communities from the same remote instances appear correctly.
Hard to tell if this is an instance/protocol issue, or an app issue.
Sounds like the dev was unsatisfied with the low sponsorship numbers on his project, which when you consider how many devs only ever interact with Moq via the package manager or command line might be a fair complaint...but the decision to just start harvesting user data like a lowlife as an alternative source of income is some galaxy brain shit.
It's not like this would even be sustainable. What did he think was going to happen, devs would just blindly accept a new shady looking package appearing in their dependency stack with no further investigation?
As a result of this stupidity Moq will now be on the shit-list of every corporation using .NET, especially those based in Europe due to GDPR implications.
I had a similar experience at my last job, we had several Oracle databases which held decades worth of not just data but core business logic that was critical to the business.
Within a few months of starting I found myself modifying a stored procedure that had been written when I (in my 30s) was in primary school.
It should be in the profile menu on the top left. Perhaps LJ is rolling it out selectively.
I bought it last night and it was half the price in OP's screenshot. Either it has gone up, or again perhaps there is some A/B testing going on at different price points.
There is, at least on the version I'm running (beta 26). It should be present in the profile menu on the top left.
