They won’t.

Canadians are shifting conservative as well, and it’s just a matter of time until the entirety of the content is a zero-sum shithole.

Depending on where they want to sit in the scumbag chart, there’s no technical barrier stopping them from selecting threads-hosted accounts with high metrics and injecting advertisement posts under their handles.

TypeScript isn’t terrible. It’s extra work to set up, but it makes the excessive pile of excrement that is JavaScript somewhat tolerable.

And at least garbage let you make international calls with the money you put into it. Nitro-saturated sewer water gives you what—a bit of extra bandwidth utilization, 2 free tokens to prove you’re above the poverty line, and discounts on paid cosmetics?

While it’s true that they’ve been trying to stop emulators for a long time, they haven’t been able to do too much about them because of Sony v Bleem.

Modern emulators exist in a legal gray area, though, and might be violating the DMCA. The more of these assholes that pop up and get sued, the higher the likelihood that one of them refuses to settle, gets steamrolled by Nintendo, and gives them and every other console manufacturer the legal precedent that emulators are piracy/DRM-circumvention tools.

Even if you disagree with my belief that Nintendo would be less aggressive this year if people hadn’t been spotlighting emulation-based piracy and provoking them, you should be concerned about that.

Nope…

Is that directed at me… or?

Either way, there’s going to be a fair bit of that here. A lot of Lemmings come to the same conclusions, but the reasons are very different and sometimes incomprehensible from an outside perspective.

You’re entitled to your own opinion, but keep in mind that it’s people like him who make corporations condemn the technology instead of the users of the technology. He’s blatantly pirating, trying to profit off of it, and taunting Nintendo to do something about it.

And what they’re doing about it is not just going after him but also the people who created the emulators, so more people like him can’t exist. Nintendo wasn’t nearly as aggressive about going after emulators until people started using them to play unreleased games, and now, in the span of a year, they took out the main developers of both major emulators.

As someone who suffers from severe motion sickness and uses emulation with framerate unlocking patches to alleviate it, these people’s actions are screwing over me and other gamers with accessibility challenges.

Agreed, but this asshole deserved it. He

• Streamed unreleased games
• Handed over prod.keys and firmware files to anyone who asked.
• Told Nintendo “I can do this all day” after being copyright striked.
• And set up a CashApp to make money from all of it.

All while using an emulator. That kind of shit makes emulation look like a tool for bad actors and pirates, which is going to ruin it for the rest of us.

While Nintendo sucks for their highly litigious nature, this guy deserves zero sympathy. Play extremely stupid games, win extremely stupid prizes.

On October 24, after unnamed platforms had shut down Keighin’s streams in response to Nintendo complaints, the gamer reportedly sent the company a letter in which he claimed to have “a thousand burner channels” to stream from and “can do this all day.”

The complaint further alleges that after Keighin’s monetized YouTube account was set to be shut down, he added a CashApp handle in order to profit from streaming Nintendo’s games.

There’s some things you just don’t do if you have any intelligence whatsoever, and making a profit by streaming dubiously-obtained unreleased games and poking the lawyer-happy hornet’s nest is one of those.

You mean interfering with a fair election process by paying voters to choose a specific candidate is not interference?

Murdoch and Bozos didn’t offer a $1m-a-day lottery to voters. There’s being a propaganda machine, and then there’s not-vote-buying-by-technicality. Musk is the latter.

Considering voter turnout for the Democrats was abysmal compared to 2020, yes: it is the fault of those stupid people choosing to abstain from voting because good enough wasn’t good enough.

Tough times make Tough people <------ Your light of hope.

No, the tough times were 2020-2024 when the fallout of Trump policies raised the cost of living, helped erode women’s rights to their own bodies, and encouraged corporate enshittification to go even more out of control.

It’s now “tough times make bigoted people who scapegoat minorities,” apparently.

Lots of reasons, really. Some of them are disenfranchised with the system, some of them are probably part of a Russian campaign, and some of them are just idiots.

Compatibility with existing worlds

Even if that 1 to 10 scale was in magnitudes (10^n), 11 would still be an understatement for what Donald Dump would encourage Israel and Russia to do.

That’s quite a generous interpretation. If we’re being real about it, it’s going to be another “you assholes” email from Timmy.

Well friend, it’s a good thing you don’t use a Mac, then.

Even Gentoo? 👉☺️👈
