I like Nintendo games but I won’t buy new hardware to play them.

So that means om also not in Nintendo’s target market. Which means they loose my business. But, what if they just let me play their games on my hardware? Then I could like… Give them money for those games right? An official emulator would allow for that.

If I can currently play nintendos newest and best games on my Linux PC using an open source emulator that was legally made without the help of Nintendo or its source code. It would be much simpler for Nintendo to make that emulator than random open source devs without any real resources, documentation, or source code.

Some websites don’t immediately work on my computer because I use Firefox with noscript. Does that mean I should have a special device from lego so I can reliably view Lego.com?

Just look at the amount of contributors and releases since the fork. Its more than just an archive.

Totally agree. I think another crazy thing is that Nintendo knows how easy it is to emulate their latest games when developers are doing it without source code legally.

Like imagine if nintendo just saved the effort and money they otherwise would spend on R&D, manufacturing, shipping, and promotion, litigation on new consoles every so often and just released an official emulator instead. It would be so much better for the environment to let people use their own hardware and they could just focus mostly on making games.

At minimum, they could do both and have an option to sell games to people that don’t want another device to play media that their current devices already are capable of. And slowly phase out the console.

I use Arch BTW, so I just use ryujinx from the AUR. The upstream git repo was updated to one that is in active development and is working better than ever.

Here are the latest stable releases for all platforms

You’re not wrong. That sugar and sodium is going to do a lot to the human body. However I think we should understand what plastics (especially when heated) do too.

This is a very complex and nuanced issue seeing as plastics as a class of materials can vary greatly in its manufacturing process and if any coatings are used. Some materials have varing use cases, also new materials, coatings, and process combinations are created constantly. Additionally a material might not have noticeable effects on a person for 10+ years.

The American government could pass legislation and studies could be done for both old and new materials and manufacturing process with an introduction of an approval and inspection process. However, did you know that worrying about what corporations do to Americans is “woke”?

Also, fuck Google. I’ve been removing the word from my lexicon. I say, let me search (or research) that instead

Great list, I would just suggest to recognize all dark patterns. It’s not like only shopping sites use them.

It can be really good for text to speech and speech to text applications for disabled or people with learning disabilities.

However it gets really funny and weird when it tries to read advanced mathematics formulas.

I have also heard decent arguments for translation although in most cases it would still be better to learn the language or use a professional translator.

Its a good thing this hold over from immediately after the attacks on 9/11 happened is still in effect or the terrorist might have won.

Not to hijack the thread but which airlines is least likely to put you on a plane made by boeing?

Totally. I have one of the newer pixels and it’s on the smaller side relatively, but it’s the biggest phone I can use comfortably.

I wear a size medium glove and it’s insane to me that it’s hard to find a phone I can use comfortably in one hand.

At the same time, I’ve started to realize that I should do less with my phone anyway. So I really don’t need it to do to much besides get a good reception and have a day or so of battery life. The most demanding thing I’ve asked my phone to do recently was to emulate some Nintendo games and run llama3.2:1B. But both things are better done either on a device meant to perform that workload or via a self hosted server where my phone is just a client.

I’m with you on those specs. Maybe the best features of new phones is the water resistance. Idk of its possible to have both water resistance and removable batteries and SD cards, but I miss being able to swap out to a fully charged battery or upgrade the storage at a whim. If I hadn’t choose tho, id stick with the water resistance.

So to add to your specs I’d like:

• water resistance
• 256 SD card minimum
• battery last 24hr minimum
• ability to switch from WiFi to cell mid call
• don’t need more than a 1080p oled display on a phone
• comes without any bloatware preinstalled
• runs linux with ability to sudo

What if the torturer put you in a dark room with a bunch of steel IKEA furniture and bedfames, (no mattresses) and a heated floor with 2 zones (only 1 is on at a time) so that you would have to either brave the gauntlet of IKEA to keep your feet warm or tell them what they want to hear?

For anyone that is dyslexic and privacy conscious it’s a pretty big deal.

Its also nice for anyone that is only privacy conscious.

Freetube is great, the android version has a few bugs so sometimes I use newpipe instead.

NewPipe hasn’t worked ever since the last 2 months

Weird, it’s been working just fine for me using version 0.27.2

I’m going out on a limp and just assuming that he accidentally quoted Quark or the rules of acquisition. And because he said something so random, baseless, and/or sexist there was an assumption that he was quoting trek on purpose.

Here is HurricanePootis pinned comment in the AUR.

So, I am going to pin this post.

For now, I am pointing this package to https://git.naxdy.org/Mirror/Ryujinx as it has tags, which is useful for this package.

I am against deleting this package, as with yuzu and citra, forks will arise and then these packages will be resurrected (sometimes by less skilled maintainers cough cough citra). Therefore, I am going to keep an eye out to see where Ryujinx development goes, and go on from there.
