I am on the same boat. The only one I was still using was datagrip, over the last months it became unbearable slow and started crashing due to memory.

“those providing material support to human rights abusers face sanctions risk themselves.” The irony, this comes from a government with strong ties to Saudi Arabia, Israel and El Salvador.

I am a paying user! the app is really good, it helped me as an adult starting piano 2 years ago.

Main feature request would be to generate the notes from a score, focusing in the intervals, ranges and patterns the score uses. Doing random notes feels weird, it helps with quick recognition but feels very different to what my head wants to do while playing.

I think the point is that China does not present itself as the paladin of free spech and individual liberties.

Apple makes great hardware, good OSs, horrible apps, indecent websites. Also, they use a very preechy way of advising, which for me means they think they are right, instead of looking at the market to tell us what works or not.

As of today, unity is worth 10-12bi, Ironsrc intended to go public at around 11bi last year, now they are being acquired at 4.4bi. Ironsrc main competitor, AppLovin is worth 12bi. Ironsrc 2021 revenue was 553m, Unity revenue was 1.1bi. However, Ironsrc had a net income of 21m and Unity had a net loss of 531m. Both hold around 0.7bi and 1bi in cash respectively.

So is Ironsrc much smaller? I do not think so.

You are missing one big and relevant point, the goal is not to get money for every small change but that now nobody needs to pay $20 to play the game. It is done to grow the game but by drastically increasing its reach. For a competitive multiplayer game that is a very good thing.

+1 I moved from Chile to the US and then from the US to Brazil, the experience was ok. Everyone goes in the same plane.

The only part that was harder was taking the dog out in Brazil. In the US he was delivered to US in the Luggage area, in Brazil we had to go to the cargo areas and deal with some bureaucracy. Knowing how it will work in advance can save a lot of time, potentially get a service in the destination country that knows how to do it in case it is needed.
