Usually when people link me I see the trackback and I visit their site. I check the place out, read some posts, maybe leave a comment, and if there is anything that catches my eye I like to link them back.
However, I’m never sure what to do in a case like this. Looks like the author is responding to my wordpress plugin, but it seems sort of pointless trying to leave a comment. The author might be saying “this is a great plugin”. They might also be saying, “this idiot made a plugin that only works in English”. Either one is true.

Bethesda’s Launcher is Everything You Expect
From the company that brought us Fallout 76 comes a storefront / Steam competitor. It's a work of perfect awfulness. This is a monument to un-usability and anti-features.
Are Lootboxes Gambling?

I really thought one thing, but then something else. There's a bunch more to it, but you'll have to read the article.
The Terrible New Thing
Fidget spinners are ruining education! We need to... oh, never mind the fad is over. This is not the first time we've had a dumb moral panic.

Rough translation: “Useless Stats displays simple analysis (logs?) data on the management dashboard sidebar.”
