oh yeah it's a good thing "in general" for sure
i'm just a little miffed when i see people go "yay ttc please take down this game" right? saying the ends justify the means here throws the work by so many people in the community under the bus (not just us, think Tetra Online too)

Despite very well knowing about tetrio, they have never contacted let alone threated me about it, as losing a court case over the ability to protect the gameplay concept of Tetris is a greater danger to them (they lose their business) than tetrio's existence ever will be

i wrote a blog post about this! blog.osk.sh/post.php?p=643db…
in super-short: TTC likes to use DMCA law to take down their competition, even though in my non-lawyer opinion they have no grounds to do so most of the time. This only works with DMCAs though, as DMCA law is biased

this whole saga is them abusing the reactionary nature of politics as well as just the fact this """""game""""" is terrible, vibecoded distasteful garbage in order to rally you for "Actually, taking down competition is good!!"
don't fall for it

they have repeatedly sent fraudulent sometimes AI-assisted DMCA takedowns to anything that dares to enter their genre of video games
ie, tetra online, setris, falling lightblocks, the list goes on

i don't think you're aware of TTC, they're a company whose only purpose is to try and continue to act like they own the concept of stacking blocks in order to stop all competition and sell the license to the highest bidder (a social gambling company)

throwing tetrio under the bus in order to "le epic rekt" some distasteful slop people would otherwise forget within days is selfish, naive, or both imo

i remember when people were starting to block brave's useragent for this reason and then brave suddenly added the "privacy feature" where they made it so it doesn't have its own useragent. real smooth, guys

despite being such a webmaster, losing a ton of money every month on adblock, i think users should block ads. but replacing them with brave's own is nasty. privacywashing that as "we're saving you from those pesky invasive ads!!" is even more nasty

brave's entire business has always been to be an alternative ad network. nothing more, nothing less. their browser's main purpose has always been to remove webmasters' own advertisements, and replace them with brave's own ads without giving said webmasters any compensation
A fresh Brave install in 2026: sponsored ad wallpapers on new tab page by default (opt out). Brave VPN, News, Talk, Leo (AI), Rewards and other revenue-milking bloat is advertised/pinned by default. Analytics and "phoning home" by default. Google as default search engine in most regions by default. Sponsored search engines like Russian Yandex in CIS countries by default: github.com/brave/brave-core/…
Brave has an ad branch that handles advertising within the browser: brave.com/ads. Brave does on-device ad targeting based on cohorts and interests, just like what Chrome used to do and what Google was largely hated for (remember FLoC?). This applies to additional (opt-in) rewarded ads, shipped as part of Brave.
Brave has injected referral IDs to crypto-related URLs entered into the omnibox in the past, intentionally, by design:
nitter.gq/CR1337/status/12692014…
github.com/brave/brave-brows…
reddit.com/r/privacytoolsIO/…
Brave also uses dark patterns to drive users away from turning off ads in their browser. For example, an article linked from the "opt out" button in the browser has a wall of text making excuses for ads before the actual steps needed to be taken to disable them: support.brave.app/hc/en-us/a…
kind of hypocritical for brave to judge firefox for lesser bullshit, don't you think?
chatgpt, whatever model it gives you when you open the page for the first time for the day on free tier

it doesn't, i wasn't sure though and google wasn't giving me a result so i figured Hey let's use that magic machine
it sounds like a horrible idea (getters shouldn't have business logic), but then also, i don't like returning a promise without tagging it clearly

Is some AI company giving out free/cheap credits or something? The Tetris community has also suddenly seen an uptick of bottom-barrel slop all of a sudden.

People have probably heard by now about this happening to open-source projects (ie curl) but it's happening to practically all websites at this point, and it's undermining actual security by wasting people's time on these scam artists.
