In this age with PIs and lawyers, it can often be found, and emudevs probably don’t start thinking they will be facing down a giant corpo over a hobby project.

Oh well then it’s good then that the software doesn’t have keyfiles in it, and plays unsigned and self-signed homebrew and switch software just fine.

See: Kaizo Mario directly inspiring Mario Maker.

See: LttP Randomizer, along with literally any other randomizer.

See: speedrunning streams literally making the market that Nintendo then sold the Nintendo World Championships cart into.

Nintendo absolutely benefits from this. They just want to crack the whip and take over. Fuck them.

Also, still can’t buy Mother 3. Double fuck them. Tons of titles play better on emulation. I shouldn’t have to justify it.

They gave out keyfiles? Is that what you are saying?

Ryujinx does not include DRM circumvention.

Original dev almost certainly not, not if they have their real name which is likely.

Nintendo harasses people with private investigators and likely have a dossier on whoever they targeted that goes beyond just the project. Cheat on your wife? Have a questionable arrangement with your HOA about your garage? It’s all ammo against you.

Revisiting this many weeks later: what do you think of the idea of super users who can be delegated an ability to silence/quarantine other posters?

Admin

Moderators

Superuser

User

Maybe if they only had the ability to flag a user and put them in "time out, and it couldn’t stack or be consecutive from one superuser, etc?

I dunno. It might be a good way to help police the content without making people volunteer to be full on mods. And it can be treated as a semi privileged role, that expires are X months and only X number ofnactive users in good standing can have at once?

A little complex to implement, but it might at least let mods crowdsource the task of stemming the worst of things.

Yes.

They will often display prompts while driving that are on a timer “suggesting” route changes or alternates and auto selecting yes.

To abbreviate massively and not dox myself, this caused me serious financial harm as a road trip rerouted onto roads unsafe for my vehicle.

I loathe Google and many tech companies for their sheer and ardent refusal to have proper customer service, or any method of customer feedback. A/B testing will never tell you that the top navigation directions should focus on the major high numbers and road names, not what road segment you are on. I need to know what lane to be in for my next turn in 5 miles, not how many times I will fade merge between segements only to have you finally tell me the lane when I’m a quarter mile away.

Google Maps is fucking awful in so many ways that are inexcusable, and worst of all they were allowed to fucking buy more of their competitors. Right now Magic Earth is a distant also ran in this field, and due to Google’s massive proprietary features always will be without support.

And I haven’t even mentioned how my map results are plastered with promoted ads and locations. Which is just useless and infuriating when I am searching for a specific placename.

Jesus, why not fine them 5 bucks?

What a joke.

Some jackass like Musk is gonna buy it at auction for the minimum they can get away with, and turn it into XInfoWars or something, and rehire Alex Jones because “truth is free” or some shit.

There is 0 value in this as a media company, but it’s always been a conspiracy theorist grift. It being resold that’s really all it could be. Sadly, many in MAGA hats would love to keep the grift going.

Nope. I quit their Google bullshit ages ago. Moto 360 was a brutal betrayal.

Get a withings scanwatch or something that is “dumb” enough to be an excellent and nice looking watch, hugely long battery life, and has all the health features that matter.

It looks sharply professional, I charge it once a month, and the updates for it don’t constantly make it run worse to push features in a different part of their product line…

Honestly I didn’t find this online but I’ve always done it this way. I’m happy to learn others think the same.

This gave me a really good chuckle.

Good catch. And yea, at a local level this Wilhelm not exacerbate things.

The crisis begins with the emanation of farm fires in Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh, where farmers set fire to hundreds of square kilometres of paddy fields after harvesting them to clear them of residue, causing a smog jacket to form over northern India, particularly Delhi.

Banning firecrackers to not make the problem worse makes sense, given how absolutely bad it will be due to the slash and burn farming practices. But the firecrackers alone (while not good for the atmosphere) aren’t like a global warming factor. But for your on-the-ground air quality doesn’t help at all.

Then cut 4k content entirely. Downgrade to 720p.

Do what must be done. Run the company like it was intended to be financially feasible without some future advertising innovation saving it.

But once the product itself begins to actively repulse me, then I stop checking the website as much. Literally everyone I know right now in my immediate family and friend circle is looking or testing a Google alternative because of these reasons.

When you enshittify the experience too much, no one wants it. I have YT premium, but parents who have YT TV due to poor coverage in their area, they don’t get YT premium. I don’t understand that.

There is a give and take with advertising, you are right. But this is just beyond what I will tolerate. Pause screen ads and ads on my TV home screen are my line. That is my hardware, and that is a service I pay for. Absolutely not.

Sadly, YouTube TV doesn’t include YT Premium.

Which is the weirdest shit imaginable to me.

In any case, adverts on the pause screen should be banned.

The entire advertising industry is long overdue for a massive clapback and course correction, because it has infested every inch of waking life.

Prop guns for cosplay gonna get a lot more difficult for now reason if this passes.

If you’re in prison for life, and you want to kill yourself because of gender dysphoria, providing you the medical care to avoid that is the humane thing to do. Period.

If you are an immigrant detained for 6-12 months before deportation, the the odds of this applying to detained immigrants is near 0, but let’s say 1% it does, this would be tailored at ensuring they can have the drugs they require.

Keeping people from shooting out the back of their fucking heads or swallowing a bottle of painkillers to end it all is always the humane choice.

Don’t worry, we could fund it all by just not administering a few death penalties (those are more expensive than life imprisonment).

I hope someone viciously kills him before it can happen.

Like, to be clear I am not threatening or anything, but no such thing as a trillionaire should exist, and it’s absolutely something that should be punished.

There is no moral way to get there.

Stephen King’s IT from behind the couch.

How I didn’t develop a lifelong fear of clowns I have no idea.
