Conjecture: I wouldn’t be surprised if the TeraLeak in question wasn’t planned out by Nintendo and Game Freak, to distract people from the fact that Nintendo is trying to harass a competitor out of the market and suing emulators back and right.
Sorry, but at its worst, Nintendo is lawful evil. There’s no way this is intentional.
But what device do you use to stream? That’s the dilemma I’m in, streaming sticks and devices are all so spammy.
I’m initially feeling, “Great, now do Apple.”
But I do wonder how some of this ruling will be implemented. Forcing Google Play to host other app stores seems like it may be excessive.
Let me download F-Droid or whatever, drop anti-competitive barriers to it, don’t prevent anyone from using their device how they want. But I am savvy to the risks. There are a lot of non-techie people for whom the Google Play walled garden more keeps out threats than keeps them imprisoned, if we’re being honest. It’s one thing for Google to host an app it can scan for malware and designate as safe. Hosting an app store is impossible to verify is safe, I think.
Good overall, but I think Google isn’t entirely acting in bad faith in promising to appeal.
Oh, it’s Google+ circles.
The overall average median lifetime earnings of $1,850,000 for men and $1,100,200 for women. Let’s just take the average and say an average American earns $1,475,100 in their lifetime.
The important thing to remember is, in an unequal system where workers have most of the value of their work taken by a single person who the system disproportionately favors, that value is translatable to literal life. They are directly, inexorably going to die having had that value simply transferred to the other person or people who collect that value. Or put succinctly, they are giving up life, and the “owner” of the business is gaining the value of their life.
Another note is that even though most valuations are stock, stock valuations do not exist in a vacuum. The stock market is the realizable increase in productivity value that we all collectively have caused.
So based on that principle, just for fun, let’s convert these fortunes to human lives, to better understand just how much (economically-valued) life force these people have taken from people:
Elon Musk: $262,000,000,000 = 176,259 American lives.
Jeff Bezos: $208,000,000,000 = 141,007 American lives.
Mark Zuckerberg: $203,000,000,000 = 137,617 American lives.
Pan back to see line of visionary CEOs that can’t wait to fix those broken visions of the world with an innovative idea that makes them even more money.
This is really unprovable, but my theory is that this is also another result of late-stage capitalistic exhaustion. While young people still want to be ethical and moral and safe, there’s a lot of moment-to-moment existential rebellion with so many layers of rules, norms and expectations.
It’s similar to the rise of “treat” habits - if there’s no realistic possibility of the American dream and house and white picket fence and kids for an average worker’s salary, you have a moment of probably irresponsible spending that feels life affirming, to shake off the feeling of being in a Matrix pod that’s sucking out your life force in the most efficient manner possible.
Hence, no condom! Or something.
Hmm, it’s been awhile since I set up my Switch. Yup, if the user must agree to this at Switch setup, then you’re right.
That said a good lawyer would argue every game purchase is by default covered by its own right-of-first-sale and backup copy case law foundation, so would require a click wrap agreement affirmation to contravene that. Definitely that is required for each new game. So I think Nintendo’s not on reliable legal ground at the very least.
Is there a Nintendo license agreement? I’m looking at a Switch game right now and see no “by opening you agree to TOS” language on the box. When I started the new Zelda a few days ago, there was no TOS acceptance.
While most software today has a license, and Nintendo’s online store is different, unless I’m missing something it looks like only basic rules of law apply to the carts.
The funny thing is this will do absolutely nothing to prevent a sitewide protest. There are so many ways for mods to effectively destroy a subreddit or redirect it while remaining public.
In fact, and this is the important blindness that Reddit continues to have, the mods usually need to work hard daily just to keep a sub usable. Reddit is so dismissive of that effort and so brazenly presumes upon their volunteer labor that they seem to think subs just continue on sheer momentum, if only they could stop mods from sabotaging them.
Mod posts every day pointing to a new community at Lemmy or elsewhere, stopping using bot removal tools, stopping troll culling, marking NSFW, etc will do the job.
Is there a better filesystem that is Mac and PC compatible? I’ve used ExFAT for that reason alone, but it’s a big one.
Couldn’t have happened to a douchier bag.
I’m probably a masochist, but Alien vs. Predator, despite (and possibly because of) all its technical limitations and like 3 FPS framerate, was genuinely scary and a unique experience.
I also really enjoyed Iron Soldier. You’ve got the original Rayman. Uhhh… Cybermorph was alright.
So five games?
I mean, it’s clear that they’re trying to dissuade people from getting the vaccine. This surgeon general was known at the time he was appointed to be anti-vax: https://www.npr.org/2021/09/22/1039613351/desantis-florida-surgeon-general-vaccine-mandates
That’s certainly the point she’s making to avoid giving a direct answer.
Yeah, I was amazed by Atlas Shrugged too…when I was 14.
This isn’t quite “white whale” territory, but I’ve always wanted to play this game.
I miss the creative, quirky Dreamcast era and this seemed like one of the best, unfortunately region-locked, examples.
Are you Taliban and want someone dead, but frustrated with your fundamentalist movement’s pesky adherence to the rule of law? Upset at the heretic you can’t quite get proof of? Overbearing parents trying to arrange another marriage?
With new Taliban Ban on Images of Living Things®, you are back in the driver’s seat. Just take a picture of your target. After it’s done, the authorities will be practically begging you to murder that person to prevent the inevitable consequences, including the collapse of society and the rending of the fabric of space-time.
