It’s depressing that there is probably an entire generation of people who only got to know the internet through venture capital driven apps and companies that only cared about manipulating people for their attention. And don’t fool yourselves, we (the people who grew up on the open web) let that happen as well.
In some sense we’re back to the late 90s with *the open web* being a thing that a lot of people explore for the first time now.

I spoke with a game programmer at a conference recently, and the topic of how to store save data came up. He said he stores non-sensitive info just as json or xml, including certain game states and player position. My response was asking if he wasn't concerned with people cheating, to which is replied
"Why? Cheating is fun."
And you know what? I agree. Cheating is fun, and people who don't want it can stay clear quite easily.
