Certain characters and groups of characters get replaced with "$$Anonymous$$"

Its crystal clear they are fxxked everything. For years with Unity I see only a lot of cringe and feel a lot of pain. I just hate those guys. They even prefer to make look like they don't see our threads, hiding from us on their own service. LOL.

 

Unity be like: "We will release those code and see what happenes"
When bugs popups: "Oh, well create bug report"
When you created bug report: "Oh, well, sorry we cannot repro it with logs you sent to us. Now you are working on us! Create step-by-step repro, attach your project. Repeat 100 times for every bug we will release to you with LTS".
Im okay with repro bug politic on the one side, but from another I feel like I should work for free on Unity Team to make bugs fixed. But for what? For low-performance editor? Closed-source engine? For abandoned and broken assets on the asset-store? For 4 years of &&anonymous&& ??? For three fields doing nothing in Ragdoll Builder for decades? etc-etc-etc... NO, f****k this.

 

This is very painful. In the example code, I've been thinking for a long time about what code starts with "t" and ends with "s". It was "this".

 

Yeah, that's why I believe the &&anonymous&& problem is actually a good thing. People who're still deciding which engine to use won't know how buggy Unity and how S***ty its editor is, but they'll see the Unity dev just let its own community rot. Hopefully this is a big enough red flag for them.

 

Oh you are a hero dude. It was getting more and more frustrating day by day.

 

I see it in all forum post !
Example
GetComponentInC$$anonymous$$ldren<>()
how to read forum with them ?

 

This is truly unbelievable

 

Yeah I can't even read some posts anymore. Ridiculous. Look at this!

As far as I can tell, once you set the prefab as $$anonymous$$... I found that $$anonymous$$ in $$anonymous$$ is pretty much the same... using $$anonymous$$ didn't know $$anonymous$$ existed until now.

 

Has this ... become a meme?

March and it's still happening, currently with "hi".

Has anyone on the Unit web team considered that users have been created with these names and then deactivated them, and there is a script trying to create a link to the user account?

 

It's not just Unity, it's also Stackoverflow, it's a world wide problem and none really knows what is the cause or how to fix it. There are a few conspiracy theories.

 

Still a problem.. and it's a pretty infuriating one too.

 

If this is happening on StackOverflow, it's probably just because someone pasted code from Unity Answers.

Unlike Unity, StackOverflow is professional enough to fix (or at least address) a major problem like this.

 

It's an insult to StackOverflow to even compare them two lol.

 

StackOverflow would have fixed this in a few hours.

 

Please do not spread misinformation.
Or post the prove.

 

When you try to look something up on Unity Answers:

 

Is it just me, or did this problem suddenly get fixed?
So nice not seeing any of the anonymous stuff anymore.
About damn time.

 

Seems like they finally fixed it, I can't find any posts with it anymore. They even replaced "$$anonymous$$" with "hi" in posts talking about it, like this one:

L O L

Well, better than not fixing it. I assume that figuring out which instances of the $$anonymous$$ string was replaced "hi"'s and which ones were people talking about the $$anonymous$$ string was impractical/impossible.

 

Congrats Unity web team on a productive 785 days of work fixing this.

 

Yeah, and they clearly just replaced all $$anonymous$$ with hi. It means they DID lose the original text.

Think twice before handing your credit card, your company's ads data, etc, to a company that fxxked their own data.
