Nintendo goes after Switch emulator yuzu in new lawsuit gamingonlinux.com/2024/02/nintโ€ฆ

#Nintendo #Emulation

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

Looking at the rhetoric of their (Nintendo's) claims, the language deliberately states that Nintendo has a monopoly over the software that runs on their console. Given all of the "anti-gatekeeper" legal initiatives that have taken hold in Europe, it will be interesting to see if Nintendo isn't implicated due to their own language and practices.

Then you have better luck than me.
"Dropping a gatling here" - Gatling gets immediately destroyed with an air strike.
"I need help over here!" - gets bombed by own teammates with grenades.
"ordering Machinegun" - gun gets taken by other player.

Not counting the countless times I get killed by my own people.

~Buttons~~

What kind of button would your brain, neurodiverse or otherwise, like to have made? What gesture does your hand/other body part want to do to activate something (technologically)? What material do you find pleasant? What shape should such a button have? What is the scale?

22-23/03/2024, from 10:00-17:00

there's a new crypto spam wave targeting open-source projects.

if you're a user, watch out for project maintainers themselves adding tea.yaml to their repos. it's indicative of their values

Been trying this out secretly for the past few weeks โ€” a "catch-up" timeline page. Did whole bunch of iterations, where I myself is the guinea pig, but this time reaching a point where I just got to share it out in the public.

- NOT final design, still very experimental, only on my local machine
- Instead of algo timeline, this is focused on data-grid-like UI for configuring exactly what I want to see.
- This honestly could be another full-fledged app/client by itself ๐Ÿซ

in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron Yes, thanks. Iโ€™ll definitely be using it but Phanpy is used by a tiny fraction of the people who use native Mastodon, so Iโ€™d like to see such an amazing and highly requested feature available for everyone.

Or is this the kind of feature that you prefer to only implement in the mobile apps, and leave to other app devs to implement client-side like Chee Aun has done here?

There are massive differences in the GHG emissions of different foods & "local" isn't always best for the environment.

This chart continues to be a great reference I return to in my work. Source: ourworldindata.org/food-choiceโ€ฆ #science #climate #food

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

Well, there are a lot of reasons people prefer local foods besides the GHG costs of shipping. โ€œLocalโ€ is usually also shorthand for smallIer, farmer-owned rather than corporate, more diversified, and more sustainably farmed. All of which worth supporting. But I guess it is worth noting that plant foods are still low GHG impact even if they travel a long way by freighter.
in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

what's misleading about these charts though is people use them to confirm "eating beef is killing the planet" so
you need to give the full context before mindless people start badgering everyone.... At 0.2% C02 the plants die. so.... you need a base load of GHG. We wouldn't want it to keep going up but we don't want it to drop either. the reality is its not as bad as people are making out
