This time without incorporated companies to hide behind! They can take our money directly!

Oh there will be forks across the git-verse. There’s no way there wouldn’t be.

Also does this create precedent? - they settled, its not like it actually went to court.

It may have also been the fact that they linked to instruction on how to rip prod.keys and system firmwares. Also their instructions on enabling running copyrighted ROMs - despite the fact that Ripping game ROMs and firmware is not (unfortunately arguably, due to licencing models and jurisdiction - you will own nothing and like it.) illegal so long as it’s for personal use.

They should’ve advertised it primarily as a testing and homebrew platform, and made sure not to make too much mention of the fact it can be used to play backups. Then they can at least play the ignorance card with more confidence.

Even then though, multi-billion yen company Nintendo probably would still pull this shit and drag, drag, drag the lawsuit out for forever and a day- draining lawyers fees of money. That being the case, settling is unfortunately the only option.

Azula, is that you?

Honestly, as an honestly pretty unspiritual Christian, Street preachers make me unnecessarily angry. Because it feels like they’re just bible bashing and aren’t actually doing anything to further Christianity’s goals, despite the fact they think they are. Individuals can’t win people over by shoving their beliefs down people’s throats.

I feel like the only people who listen to these guys are people who agree with them. Most people ignore them in my city.

You should be able to play genshin on Linux - the workaround launcher still exists and arweanticheat says they unintentionally fixed it - I can’t confirm this though

It’s hypr-chan!

Honestly I would love to see a webcomic about hypr-chan, I wonder what the significance of all the Holo cat. And that bus looks super sci-fi, she must be riding the hypr-loop

I doubt they have the sense of humour for that.

Looks like he’s about to let one through, looks like we got the weakest Link!

Great source of prions!

I get louder, and I lose much of my profanity filter. Which people used to think wasn’t possible. But that’s it.

Looks like it should be captioned with “minutes before disaster”

But it looks sick at that moment.

A lot of these large over employed places don’t hire for the extra Labor. They hire because it’s a way to prevent competition. Why would an employee leave to join a competitor or create a competing start up company if he’s being paid well to do next to nothing?

The only problem is that’s only financially viable when interest rates are low and investors are willing to give out cash like it’s candy.

Kobo has ways around it. Especially if you manage to get certain models. - certain variants have the entire Linux based OS installed on its SD card - you can remove it to edit the internal sqlite database with an SQL editor to bypass the login requirements. Other models are supposed to have methods to just not use a login. (Though I’ve never been successful at that)

Also, to save battery it usually doesn’t connect to the internet unless you tell it too (sync update or whatever)

I have the Kobo Sage, while it doesn’t have a removable SD card, and I did have to create an account initially. It doesn’t require you to use it - you can plug it into a PC and just copy any ebooks, cbz comic files or PDFs you want to read. But I chose it for one reason: it’s one of the most stable models for running KoReader, a custom interface that adds some interesting features. Including support for direct OTA syncing with the Calibre eBook management and editing software. All Kobo devices has a hidden folder that can be used with a koboroot archive file to flash stuff into the internal file system.

Running this software literally kills the original interface, (meaning it can’t spy on you) and gives you full root access via an inbuilt terminal emulator. The fact it gives you access to full internal storage, means you can retroactively bypass the account requirement system, as their operating systems are almost completely identical across models.

Before that I used to own an old Clara HD (the screen broke, highly advise buying a cover for any e-reader) and did the SD card trick to bypass login.

There’s a huge community for hacking most models of eReaders for better and more uniqur experiences. Theyre low security ARM devices, way easier to mess around with than an android phone these days. All Kobo devices have single account Linux distros - meaning everything is running as root.

So alongside the part about mulitimc that StarDreamer said regarding the AUR and packaging attacks.

After the fork to PolyMC the maintainer of PolyMC decided to make it political. He was trying his best to prevent a specific clarification to an inclusivity clause in its contributors guidelines or whatever it’s called. (From “everyone” to something along the lines of “everyone, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation and preference”) A huge argument broke out, and he went full right wing and just kicked all the opposing people off the project, spitting right wing “wokeism” rhetoric the whole time.

People realised what was happening and left the project for prism launcher with a new maintainer who had been kicked as a result of the maintainers rampage and need to make it intensely political over what was essentially a minor issue: wether or not to clarify the word “everyone”

As someone who was watching from the sidelines, It really was a circus in both the mulitimc and the PolyMC cases.

That one is pretty much dead due to a hostile takeover. People moved to polymc, the after the Dev went crazy and alienated people, they moved to prism launcher. That’s where theajority of the Multi/PolyMC Devs are now.

“what! A chastity belt? ughhhh that’s going to chafe my Willy!”

There’s no way windows would’ve deleted your dual boot partition, your Linux bootloader? Yes ive seen it do that a hundred times over, but I have never seen it overwrite an entire Linux EXT4 partition. The only time it would do that is if you installed it after installing Linux and did a reccomended install instead of a custom install.

Sorry, I should’ve realised. My brain immediately thought “ahh yes, pronouns as in he/she/them/they, easy” totally forgot that I and I’m also count as a pronoun.

This is the name I’ve always gone by, for everything. Except for back in the day during club penguin, but nvm that.

My idea behind the name is I come second. First the bomb, then it explodes and you get the Boom, loud and proud, fits me perfectly.

So I’m not Da_bomb, I’m Da_Boom
