High speed rail.

It’s insane Amtrak is the best we got. You should be able to go from Orlando to New York in hours, cheaply.

If you start the project intending to be untracable, yes.

Most software devs aren’t thinking of that. These things with emulators often start as a hobby.

In this age with PIs and lawyers, it can often be found, and emudevs probably don’t start thinking they will be facing down a giant corpo over a hobby project.

Oh well then it’s good then that the software doesn’t have keyfiles in it, and plays unsigned and self-signed homebrew and switch software just fine.

See: Kaizo Mario directly inspiring Mario Maker.

See: LttP Randomizer, along with literally any other randomizer.

See: speedrunning streams literally making the market that Nintendo then sold the Nintendo World Championships cart into.

Nintendo absolutely benefits from this. They just want to crack the whip and take over. Fuck them.

Also, still can’t buy Mother 3. Double fuck them. Tons of titles play better on emulation. I shouldn’t have to justify it.

They gave out keyfiles? Is that what you are saying?

Ryujinx does not include DRM circumvention.

Original dev almost certainly not, not if they have their real name which is likely.

Nintendo harasses people with private investigators and likely have a dossier on whoever they targeted that goes beyond just the project. Cheat on your wife? Have a questionable arrangement with your HOA about your garage? It’s all ammo against you.

Yes.

They will often display prompts while driving that are on a timer “suggesting” route changes or alternates and auto selecting yes.

To abbreviate massively and not dox myself, this caused me serious financial harm as a road trip rerouted onto roads unsafe for my vehicle.

I loathe Google and many tech companies for their sheer and ardent refusal to have proper customer service, or any method of customer feedback. A/B testing will never tell you that the top navigation directions should focus on the major high numbers and road names, not what road segment you are on. I need to know what lane to be in for my next turn in 5 miles, not how many times I will fade merge between segements only to have you finally tell me the lane when I’m a quarter mile away.

Google Maps is fucking awful in so many ways that are inexcusable, and worst of all they were allowed to fucking buy more of their competitors. Right now Magic Earth is a distant also ran in this field, and due to Google’s massive proprietary features always will be without support.

And I haven’t even mentioned how my map results are plastered with promoted ads and locations. Which is just useless and infuriating when I am searching for a specific placename.

Honestly I didn’t find this online but I’ve always done it this way. I’m happy to learn others think the same.

This gave me a really good chuckle.

Prop guns for cosplay gonna get a lot more difficult for now reason if this passes.

If you’re in prison for life, and you want to kill yourself because of gender dysphoria, providing you the medical care to avoid that is the humane thing to do. Period.

If you are an immigrant detained for 6-12 months before deportation, the the odds of this applying to detained immigrants is near 0, but let’s say 1% it does, this would be tailored at ensuring they can have the drugs they require.

Keeping people from shooting out the back of their fucking heads or swallowing a bottle of painkillers to end it all is always the humane choice.

Don’t worry, we could fund it all by just not administering a few death penalties (those are more expensive than life imprisonment).

Oddly, most Japanese arcade games are running on Windows, for ease of portability in their market, which makes PC ports actually extremely straightforward.

Source: I got to use machines when they were doing a reboot and the whole interface loads up for the multi-game cabinets like a emulator frontend that just launches and kills the processes.

True. But by the same token, if you attain a similarly high level of knowledge about Windows, you can do much of the same stuff. Including debloating it.

I mainly say this because I would love nothing more than swapping my relatives machines to Linux, but when something breaks it can be BAD and they are missing that basic background thst 3+ decades on Windows has earned them.

A vee emm you say?

Can I get that on the app store?

…

You gotta set the bar far, far lower. Hell being able to set up a VM easoly in a Windows home license machine is still something relatively recent, without using specialized software.

If Linux only appeals to tinkers then it will see about as much market share as 80s cars as well, and peak at single digits.

If you are someone technically inclined, I totally agree with you. But I think the newer distros in the past few years that are basically good to go after install, and feature application stores linked to reputable repos, etc, are the way forward. This takes a lot of the confusion and, frankly, fear out of attempting to use Linux for your average user.

I long for third spaces.

The mall is an ouroboros that demands I spend. But if it had a park combined with it, if it was just a series of semi-connected strip malls around a central or spread out park/walking path I’d be there constantly.

The mall just isn’t a enjoyable place to hang out unless you truly have no other choice, and even teenagers who don’t are opting to hang online because it’s less expensive and doesn’t require transit.

There’s a reason welding is not a common skill.

If you’re trying to proliferate welding, maybe this is a bad approach?

They absolutely can. This just isn’t really one of them. Ads in the 90s all treated women as sex objects to be “played”. And this ad isnt wild in that regard, but you’re kidding yourself if you think they didn’t choose that angle and lighting deliberately.

Said to another commenter as well, but listen I’m not going to respond to a woman saying an ad is gross and off putting by telling her to lighten up.
