Nintendo isn’t against emulation. They’re against piracy, which Yuzu was facilitating. None of the emulators that don’t have specific support for unreleased games have been touched so far.

That fork seems like a cash grab considering it already has a Patreon.

Have they learned nothing from the lawsuit?

Eh, the built-in speakers on most TVs these days are all pretty trash across the board. You pretty much need a sound bar at the very least, these days.

Unfortunately, it still happens even here on Lemmy. I don’t think we see it as much because most communities here have far fewer mods than adjacent Reddit subs on average, but occasionally you’ll find a mod here who thinks they know better than their community and does whatever they feel like.

I feel like that trope doesn’t really ring true these days, as most of the “general purpose” instances are pretty moderate. Back when Lemmy was still just a small handful of instances, that was definitely the case, but I think the wider adoption has balanced things out a bit closer toward center, overall.

IBM is still just as active, just not in the consumer markets anymore. They’re big into industry research and more specialized computing these days.

“But she’s so empowering!” the fans will say, nevermind the fact that she only seems to “empower” fraudsters.

I like to imagine that this whole event was the result of the first truly rogue AI that generated its own plans for an event, sent out the necessary emails to hire the people to put it together, and everything in secret under its creator’s nose.

It probably isn’t that, though. Because even AI wouldn’t fuck up this badly.

You have to get Beetlejuice tickets for that.

I will absolutely blame the voters, because it’d literally be their fault. That’s how elections work.

A buddy of mine gifted me a copy of Helldivers 2 the other day, so I’ve been spending some time spreading Managed Democracy across the galaxy. Mostly going back and forth between Helldivers and The Finals lately.

I use Kbin, so my experience is a little different, but do Lemmy instances not have default communities? If not, that seems like a pretty good addition, but if so, then I think that experience is going to be largely dictated by the individual instance you’re signing up with.

I miss what Facebook used to offer in the earlier days. I miss being able to keep up friends and family and having a central place for everybody to just share things. It was nice for a while. It was also just nice having an account where I felt comfortable putting my face and name out there; I know that may seem kinda weird to most people, but there was something weirdly relieving about having one place where I could just say “This is me” without using a screen name and feel right about it. Facebook used to be that place for me.

Then once Facebook started to monetize every pixel on my screen and every post on my feed was just a link to something I couldn’t care less about or trying to sell me something or infect me with something else, it became unbearable. The last time I logged into Facebook, I scrolled for probably five whole minutes before I was able to find a single, actual post written by somebody I actually cared about. Everything else was just links, freebooted videos, or algorithmically-boosted content designed to suck my attention away from the thing I actually wanted to look for.

I’d honestly love it if there was a better Facebook-like platform on the Fediverse. Or even not on the Fediverse, just a place where I can actually keep in touch with the people I know instead of just internet strangers. Since ditching Facebook, the internet has definitely felt like a much lonelier place for me.

How did the wakeyuppymen know what time to start wakeyuppying, tho?

Weird, maybe the Pixel build is slightly different, because that’s not happening on mine and I believe I’ve already got the latest updates for it.

if it worked, there would be no unemployment.

That would imply that 100% of unemployed people are referred to this program, or made aware of its existence at all.

It’s default? When I downloaded it, I had to manually choose Gemini to be the default. It wasn’t set like that for me.

Well, falling into the same traps would be awfully Sisyphean of him.

That’s wild, this 2 year old video just randomly showed up in my YouTube feed the other day. Kinda interesting to see how the algorithm just seems to randomly pick a video to start recommending to people.

Either way, glad this guy’s story is getting to be seen by more people!

This will happen as long as people keep treating crypto as an investment instead of what it was actually designed to be; a currency.
