Yeah, fighting open source emulators is kind of like fighting a hydra. People will fork the project and one of those will probably emerge as the alternative to Ryujinx. At the same time Nintendo did manage to get an entire team of developers to exit the Switch emulation scene under penalty of breaching the settlement. It’s not going to kill Switch emulation, but they did manage to take down one of the most popular ones.

This is like getting punched in the gut and then pepper-sprayed.

So after banning adult content a few years ago, Tumblr decided to shoot itself in the other foot? It feels like the people in charge are actively trying to drive off the site’s users.

When the politicians say that they clearly mean they’re going to take away other people’s freedoms. Not my freedom. My freedom is going to be fine.

Disappointing, but not surprising. I know I’m not going to “learn” a language with Duolingo, but it’s been nice recognizing a few words and phrases when I hear them. But I don’t really trust that a bunch of overworked and underpaid contractors are going to catch every error using AI is going to introduce. At least there are already alternatives in this thread for me to look through.

Seeing MatPat being called the old internet is…something all right. Almost as disorienting as seeing all the “Who?” reactions to the news. I guess it isn’t that surprising given how huge Youtube is. I’m sure there are plenty of giant channels I’ve never heard of. That being said I’m curious to see if any more “old-school” youtubers decide to retire over the next year.

Every time I think Musk has written his stupidest Tweet he goes and proves me wrong. It’s honestly impressive.

Elon Musk being hypocritical and petty? Shockingly Unprecedented. Then again it does give everyone another reason to just stop using Twitter.

This was great. It’s kind of bizarre to realize that Netflix is actually older than Wikipedia.

Who is saying this? Halloween is almost over. We only have one week left before every store starts playing Christmas music until January.

Honestly, this is about what I expect from Google nowadays. It’s surprising when they manage to live up to the “Don’t be Evil” motto they used to have.

It’s too late. She’s already here. My local Walmart threw out all the outdoor stuff in the garden section and put up Christmas trees, decorations, and lights.

This court case with the FTC is really just the gift that keeps on giving. Struggling to think of the last time a gaming company just leaked all this kind of stuff by accident. The mid-gen refresh is surprising given how vocal Spencer has been about not needing one, but it makes sense, especially if they want to push people to go digital only. The talk about buying Nintendo and Valve is concerning. Still, I have a really hard time imagining Nintendo would ever sell out to any company and Valve’s current leadership seems against anything like that. Of course, these things can change and Microsoft certainly seems willing to play the long game when it comes to acquisitions like this.

I haven’t even heard of half of these shows, let alone watched them. Who even has time to watch all of these?

I mean I guess it’s better than amplifying misinformation, but it’s still a cop-out to get out of moderating the topic. Mildly curious just how many topics Threads censors search results for.

Yeah. At least when nuclear war was the existential threat hanging over humanity you had the comfort that it would all be over in an instant. Now we get to watch a slow unraveling of civilization over decades while things continue to get worse. Fun times.

Xitter? Are people not just continuing to call it Twitter? Maybe if it ever becomes the everything app Musk wants it to be it will be distinct enough to justify a rebrand, but for right now it’s just Twitter with the name filed off.

Is there any other way to eat a mozzarella stick? Assuming the cheese hasn’t leaked out.

I would say B. Also, you would need a bigger basket for the head to fall into and probably a few more people on hand if you wanted to lift the head up to display to the crowd.

Why just ruin a web browser when you can try and ruin the entire internet?
