People need to understand what this will mean from a developer perspective before getting all up in arms. This initiative is more kneejerk emotional than it is realistic.

If you're going to watch only one of these videos, watch the second one:

They have to restrict themselves to pickpocketing roaming NPC fascists.

What? Fascists? RuneScape doesn't have...

Oh. HAM, I almost forgot about those guys.

He did not really step down, it was just a symbolic public gesture. He's still actively contributing to the project, check the GitHub commits and comments. He just stopped having so many Twitter meltdowns.

You also can't open two spreadsheets that have the same filename. I'm sure that's led to a helpdesk call or two.

I still don't like how flippant they've been in every public communication. I read the ToS. It's short for a ToS, everyone should read it. They claim it was taken "out of context," but there wasn't much context to take it out of. The ToS didn't make this distinction they're claiming, there was no separation of Vultr forum data from cloud service data. It was just a bad, poorly written ToS, plain and simple.

They haven't taken an ounce of responsibility for that, and have instead placed the blame on "a Reddit post" (when this was being discussed in way more detail on other tech forums, Vultr even chimed in on LowEndTalk).

As for this:

Section 12.1(a) of our ToS, which was added in 2021, ends with "for purposes of providing the Services to you." This is intended to make it clear that any rights referenced are solely for the purposes of providing the Services to you.

This means nothing. A simple "we are enhancing your user experience by mining your data and giving you a better quality service" would have covered them on this.

We only got an explanation behind the ToS ransom dialog after their CMO whined in a CRN article. That information should have been right in the dialog on the website.

In both places, they've actively done vague things to cause confusion, and are offended when people interpret it incorrectly.

Great work, thanks!

Anything on Citra? PineappleEA made it easy enough to also download binaries for Yuzu, but I've got nothing but a flatpak for Citra.

A central place for binaries of both emulators would be great.

Both flatpaks are still available, by the way:

https://flathub.org/apps/org.yuzu_emu.yuzu

https://flathub.org/apps/org.citra_emu.citra

They can be bundled and exported after downloading, although it will only be for the architecture of your machine.

18 isn't long enough, better wait until 34

Granted. The house fire subsides and there is no structural damage.

However, the house is now empty. Every belonging or piece of furniture has mysteriously disappeared.

You could only save one thing. You chose your house.

Sync isn't trying to replace all Lemmy frontends or other FOSS apps, it's trying to provide a Reddit-like experience for people who miss it.

People just find reasons to be upset, I swear.

Yeah it's pretty universal. Similar feeling when a limb "falls asleep."

I'm not sure about Mastodon, but at least for Lemmy, not every piece of information is available from the API or web interface. Some of it is only sent through federation. Namely, who, specifically, voted for something, edit history, probably a few other things.

Does Mastodon just hand over a complete list of everyone who liked a post? Even if it has thousands of likes? That kind of data would be very valuable to a company like Facebook.
