It doesn’t make sense. I understand it, but it doesn’t make sense.

Are you just referring to how Python uses the English and/or instead of the more common &&/||? I think what the user above you was talking about was Lua’s strange ternary syntax using and/or.

The comments below started me on a trail that led me to a relevant comment from a Lemmy dev:

I want to remind everyone that since users overwhelmingly don’t want their votes snooped on (for good reason), we will never add anything like this inside lemmy, lemmy-ui, or jerboa.

But it’s trivial to use an external tool to see who voted on what regardless of whose account it is

Is there a tool made for this out there? As far as I’m aware, the simplest way for the average user to do that is to run their own instance and then manually query its database directly, which is far from trivial.

did this change happen when they made this game “free”?

Judging based on the price history on Is There Any Deal? and the dates of negative Steam reviews mentioning the ToS changes: no. The game is “free” as of this week, but the ToS had been updated with all those negative changes in May.

Ouch, recent reviews are harsh
