Anti-Face Weapon

This is clearly bad press, everyone reading this gets negative thoughts about Nintendo. We are all talking about how bad they are RIGHT NOW.

Nintendo would absolutely lose that legal battle. It’s well established that emulation is not a crime and nor is the development of emulators.

This kind of thing often has the opposite of the intended effect. People then host mirrors of the original repo, and the press brings more developers to the project.

This sort of action by Nintendo and other companies is so short sighted. Bad press, a legal battle they couldn’t actually win if it went to court, increased attention on the thing they’re trying to hinder, etc. Its a stupid decision made by business people who don’t know anything about tech, and who are disincentivized to care about the long term health of their brand.

I litterally had not heard of the emulator until now. Maybe I’ll have to compile it and give it a spin now.

You can easily mirror GitHub to some other repo

Technically you could. It would be a marvel of engineering and would cost billions of dollars, and you couldn’t go through the center of the Earth, but technically it is possible

Honestly there are a lot of variables involved. There will always be a market for cars without all that nonsense, and it’s cheaper to produce a car without a touch screen. If I have to drive shitmobiles to avoid having to deal with “car as a service”, then that’s what I will do.

That’s fair, but my point still stands.

IMO this has been very publicized in certain circles, and will have the effect of martyrdom. More people are going to be interested in doing this.

Honestly, if anyone has become a master in C, they can become a rust master in short order. It’s different, but not THAT different. The roots are the same.

Although the chances of me buying a Ford are extremely small, the odds of me getting a car with ads are 0%

That would lose the high ground in a very important way. Calmer minds may yet prevail, if we are fortunate.

Yes! Why did it take them so long?

Things are changing, if slowly. People are paying attention, and they are pissed at Biden.

I’m afraid that in our current political system, voters would get a fresh choice of candidates who would probably still send weapons to Israel. Somehow we need deeper political change.

I guess he litterally sending both drones and bombs, but I meant that Trump would order a direct strike. But you’re right, that’s not much different in the end, is it? The main difference is that Biden maintains some plausible deniability. “WE didn’t kill anyone! We didn’t know they would use these tools for genocide!”. Maybe in some sense that IS worse.

Biden isn’t sending drones to bomb Palestine, to my knowledge. I’m saying that Trump would do that. If Trump were in power, it would probably be worse.

Not to excuse Biden, and his complete apathy for this ongoing genocide. It is unexcusable, and no one who tolerates genocide should be allowed anywhere near politics.

There are a lot of reasons to be suspicious about trump when it comes to colluding with foreign powers, and there is even some evidence. I agree that people often take it too far, into the conspiracy theory territory. But I don’t think it’s quite comparable with QAnon, either in feasibility, or in scope, or in the problematic effects that it may have.

Also, the American system is, at best, only semi-democratic. The politicians are the ones who determine who is in power, much more than the people who actually vote. Are the citizens really responsible for what politicians we have? Am I responsible, as a man who votes conscientiously, who has campaigned during important elections, and yet does not have any real influence in who gets elected? Is the average person, who is just barely getting by, really expected to change the system by themselves?

We need systemic change, but we have no class consciousness, and we are not likely to get there. These facts are manipulated by the people in power.

Trump would probably bomb the shit out of Palestine.

Honestly, most mid range phones are not built to last. When I spend hundreds of dollars on a phone, it needs to last for years and years.

The word needs to get out about this somehow

Dota 2. First time I played it it was not for me, I only played it to hang out with my friends. Many years later I had an itch for it, so I started playing again. And I haven’t stopped. It is an excellent game.
