Might be ported to PC after a few years.

Considering their track record with Bloodborne, I doubt it.

I'm calling it now: for Flight Simulator 2025, they're going to pull a Windows update "energy saver" and have it stream data peer-to-peer wherever possible.

The kernel. I can take or leave most things, but I'm not going back to the days of writing directly into memory-mapped registers.

I understand his experience is hard to match, we all have something in our lives we're that good at

At some point, that mix of experience and ego becomes a significant liability. He's directly hurting the adoption of Rust in the kernel, while the C code he's responsible for is full of problems that would have been impossible if written in safe Rust.

Multimillion-dollar ad-buys highlight a so-called “car ban”

A recent fuel manufacturers ad shows a woman driving through a suburban neighborhood. A narrator warns that “President Biden is banning most new gas cars” and that he has put the “freedom to choose what to drive in the rearview mirror.” As the woman drives, she notices that Biden is gleefully sitting in her back seat.

This kind of shit is why we need to have better regulation and oversight of advertisements.

  • ✅️ False information presented as fact.
  • ✅️ Fear mongering.
  • ✅️ Dishonest use of a political candidates likeness.

Even if the most rational voters fact-check what this ad is saying, it will still succeed at convincing emotionally-driven individuals to vote against Biden.

2024 is going to be the year of ~~the Linux Desktop~~ enshittification. When anything you love goes public, you won't be loving it for much longer.

You think that's bad? They have four of these "promo" dialogs to push users to the Reddit ~~spyware~~ app.

  1. Unreviewed community (the one you're seeing).
  2. NSFW content.
  3. Trending content (yes, you read that right).
  4. Special events (like r/place).

Fuck Spez.

I wish someone would try that pickup line on me. All I get is "are you an IPv4 address? You look like you've been shared around between a few hundred households" :(

The Citra website has been replaced with the same statement made on the Yuzu website, and the GitHub repository is now gone as well.


Other build dependency repos taken down with it:

This also includes ceasing development and destroying their copies of the code.

The GitHub repo page for Yuzu now returns a 404, as well. The website is still up, though.

Nintendo went after them for using (not distributing) prod.keys to decrypt game titles and system firmware under 17 U.S.C. 1201 (2), which sidesteps having to challenge the legality of emulation directly. I guess Yuzu doesn't have the funds to fight them in court on that.

The GitHub repo page for Yuzu now returns a 404, as well. In addition, the repo for the Citra 3DS emulator was also taken down.

As of at least 23:30 UTC, Yuzu's website and Citra's website have been replaced with a statement about their discontinuation.

The New York Times reports that "a subsidiary of Life Corporation called Voice Broadcasting Corp., which identifies Mr. Monk as its founder on its website, has received numerous payments from the Republican Party’s state committee in Delaware, most recently in 2022, as well as payments from congressional candidates in both parties."

That's nice. The robocalls were sponsored by politicians. Can we please throw them in prison to rot for corruption now? No? Is that hoping for too much?

An ad that showed up as I was browsing through the news. Bloody ridiculous...

You may know it as Space Melody by Luna Park or as ResuRection by ППК (English: PPK), but the original melody was composed by Eduard Artemyev for the 1979 Soviet film Siberiade. The original name of the song, as titled in the movie's soundtrack release, is la mort du héroes (the death of heroes, if my French is correct).

Here's a link to the original composition, if you're curious.

I'm fine spending money for a quality product.

Quality product. Not DRM-laden, always-online, unoptimized garbage that pushes microtransactions in my face. It's not a price problem; it's a service problem. If I'm going to get a shittier experience as a legitimate customer, piracy is the smart thing to do.
