Step 1: Add ads into [insert app of choice here] that are really annoying

Step 2: Make people pay to get rid of them. Bonus points if it’s a subscription

Step 3: People hate your app but it’s the one that’s installed by default so they use it anyway

Step 4: Profit

There were plenty of good shows in 2023 though? Even excluding Frieren and shonens (since I’m assuming based on what you said, you aren’t interested in them) there was also Apothecary Diaries which aired during the same season. Oshi No Ko was pretty good also (the first episode is by far the best, imo the rest of the show is still pretty good tho). Those definitely stood out the most to me but I did enjoy a lot of the 2023 shows I watched.

This could actually make sense if those bot posts that mirror reddit subs are included in this number since those don’t really get any comments

Hey, graduating Gen Z here, where are those mythical high-paying remote jobs? Hell, where’s somewhere that will actually look at my resume? People that got hired during COVID got laid off and now we’re competing with people who have 2-4 years of experience for a junior position, inflation is significantly higher and paying for college and rent didn’t exactly get easier. How can you look at the current situation and say we have it easy, just because you also had it rough?

You don’t use keyboard shortcuts because you have ADHD and can’t remember them

I use keyboard shortcuts because I have ADHD and would never be able to stay focused on anything without them

We are not the same

It got revived also! They’re back on F-droid as well, not sure about it being the same developer as this though since I don’t use friendica

edit: here’s the new GitHub link: https://github.com/LiveFastEatTrashRaccoon/RaccoonForLemmy

Archinstall exists which does something similar but with a TUI. I disagree that it’s as easy as Debian’s graphical installer but it is significantly easier than it used to be before archinstall existed.

Internet sarcasm is hard. Poe’s law and all, there’s probably someone who would say this unironically

Hey did you know that any JSON file is also a valid YAML file? I bet you’ll love YAML a lot more now that you have this information

News from New Jersey:

It rained yesterday!! For the first time in a month and a half!

Baby steps 🙃

I haven’t checked back on it since I stopped using reddit (and I no longer use a surface pro) but there was a pretty active surface Linux community there as well with some good resources. For a lot of models you’ll need a USB keyboard/mouse to actually install the distro but once you can load the custom surface linux kernel things worked pretty well for me.

I’m going to assume no to your first part since a lot of the documents surrounding the project are only being declassified now (and a lot of the details are still classified apparently)

To your second part, I was paraphrasing but the video I linked also called it a “backyard bomb” so the the project was probably being worked on around the time the terminology for that “scale” was made

ELI5 for people who don’t know what project sundial is because I didn’t know about it until I saw that video:

In the 1950’s the guy who invented the Hydrogen nuclear bomb made a theoretical design for a bomb that would send the entire planet into a nuclear winter. The bomb would be detonated in somewhere in the US because it was so powerful that both the US and whoever on the globe they were trying to hit would get destroyed either way.

Here is the video the meme is referencing: https://youtu.be/E55uSCO5D2w

The point of the game is to shoot people with actual guns until you’re the only person (or team) left. Is the word “kill” really where ESRB draws the line?? (not that I think fortnite should be rated R)

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)
