I aspire to know this level of retro trivia and am slowly falling down the rabbit hole.

There are actually relatively easy (easy compared to building a nuclear reactor) ways to deal with the waste that involve mixing it with concrete and glass so it can be safely stored in a way that won’t impact the surrounding environment. Kyle Hill has a great video about this on YouTube: https://youtu.be/4aUODXeAM-k

7/10, that was too coherent

I completely agree with that take, I was just making a joke about how the first sentence reads like the start of a comment that’s about to defend Nintendo

AFAIK the Yuzu accusations of containing code from the Nintendo SDK haven’t been proven and also didn’t come out until well after Yuzu had already shut down (it was drama surrounding the Suyu “devs” that tried to succeed them). The whole case was about them profiting off of their patreon and optimizing their emulator for a game that hadn’t been released yet.

It’s not that Yuzu used stolen code, it’s that they released updates that optimized for the leaked copies of Tears of the Kingdom, and charged money for it. If they waited to release builds until after the release, or if they had been doing it for free, they probably wouldn’t have been shut down. You might think this is a small difference, but it really isn’t because having the binary file of a game is not the same as having the code that made the binary. Realistically, if you are good enough at reverse engineering binaries that you can figure out the code well enough to make optimizations for it in the 2 weeks that the game was leaked for before it came out, you are probably getting paid enough that steaking your income on a community-driven emulator would be unthinkable.

Either way, Ryujinx, which didn’t profit like Yuzu did (and is written in a completely different programming language from Yuzu, with a completely different set of developers) still got shut down. Nintendo isn’t doing it because of stolen code, they’re doing it because it’s an emulator that exists.

Supporting unreleased games does not mean they used Nintendo code. The whole point of an emulator is to perfectly reproduce the original system. That means working on any switch game, regardless of whether said game has been released or even thought of. In practice it isn’t that simple because they are attempting to replicate a very complex system, so there will usually be patches whenever giant games come out that use the system in different ways. However, that doesn’t mean Nintendo code is being used at all.

I don’t think they paid him off, I think it was more along the lines of “We won’t do anything to you if you stop now”

You had me in the first half ngl (more like first sentence but close enough)

Aaand thats enough internet for the month

It is quite literally a foreign concept to anyone who only speaks English. That’s how foreign languages work.

How is the word pronounced though?

It’s a comment on Apple’s research on LLM failures. Given that context I’d say it’s probably not a bot, it’s probably someone just pressing the word suggestion button on their phone 100 times because LLMs are basically just a more advanced version of autocomplete (obviously this is an oversimplification)

Checking in with my regularly scheduled F-Droid superiority post. Free, feature-rich, and no ads/trackers.

In all seriousness though, there are a lot of great FOSS apps on the stock repos and the IzzyOnDroid repos. Auxio (mp3 player) and Breezy Weather are probably my favorites at the moment.

Fair enough, I also looked through the code though and it looks like everything is done locally

It also isn’t actually in the code? That url isn’t the actual name of the app (parallax vs pallax) and from what I can tell looking through the code, that line doesn’t actually exist anywhere in it.

Edit: also the URL doesn’t exist anywhere in the code

I think the answer is that it’s not actually there. The typo in the app name is another giveaway (parallax vs the app name, pallax)

Edit: also,

Even if they were rate limiting they’re still just using the bot to train an AI. If it’s from a company there’s a 99% chance the bot is bad. I’m leaving 1% for whatever the Internet Archive (are they even a company tho?) is doing.

What does this have to do with translation? I love bashing the US as much as the next guy (after all, so does everyone else in the US when they aren’t being hypernationalist 🙃) but we’re talking about subtitle translation, not conspiracy theorists. From a population perspective, there are more people watching who speak American English. If localization only has the resources to target one dialect, that’s probably the one they’ll go for. Fan-subs are another story (and are usually better anyway)

Me when I have to code something in JavaScript

No, I’ve never touched my .config file for KDE directly (I have made settings changes, but none that would cause it to clear hotkeys), I just can’t set hotkeys without them clearing on reboot/session end. Apparently it’s a known problem: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=484682

That report mentions 6.0.3 I’ve had this issue since I installed NixOS with plasma 5 last year and remember finding forum posts about it as well. It hasn’t been too much of a deal for me because the only thing I was using it for was remapping the Konsole shortcut to launch Kitty instead.

Edit: also that issue I linked looks like it’s resolved in 6.0.5 but I’m in 6.0.5 right now and I just tried to set a keybind and it’s still clearing on reboot.

Cable isn’t the same as OTA but from a viewer standpoint they’re both live TV. Live TV in the US is basically unwatchable unless you really like sports or 24/7 news commentary (even then live news is usually also available through phone apps) and don’t mind being interrupted by ads every 2 minutes.

Anything else is better watched with torrents/piracy streaming sites. They don’t stop the show to serve some random combination of medicine, home insurance, and car ads.
