Facebook (a long time ago), Twitter, Reddit, Google (they even removed the don’t be evil modo), now Unity. Apple being Apple… Arduino going closed source, Raspberry Pi becoming for profit. Samsung, at least never ever even tried to look nice.

"Hey bro, let's go check out those sirens over there. I swear, bro... just plug your ears with wax and tie me to the bow. Bro, it'll be so epic."

Sirens arrive

I wish we could get names of the teams that decided this was a good idea. I'd love to hear their side
