Why did Nintendo Switch emulator Ryujinx shut down and what are the alternatives?
  • Suyu and Sudachi both ended up discontinuing developmemt and haven’t been updated in months

    I don't think Nintendo lawyers read this. You can just tell the truth and not blatantly lie.

  • All this has happened before, and all this will happen again
  • I see you understand what I'm currently rewatching. 🤖

  • Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games
  • In the same stroke though the onus to supply backing to any given position or assertion is on the one claiming facts.

    Valve supporting gaming on Linux is common knowledge here. For very niche knowledge or hard to google terms, I'd agree but there's a limit. One cannot expect to cite sources for every single bit of common knowledge.

    This one is easily found out through a simple search and all but burden of proof isn’t on the one asking for proof

    The amount of work required to ask for a source is similar to googling it directly, maybe asking is even more work because usually selecting the claim and then right-click --> "Search web for XYZ" works just fine.

  • Nintendo wouldn’t be able to go after him for like DMCA type route.

    Old school suing about "aiding and abetting" piracy until the defendant has no money left to pay lawyers works pretty much all over the world.

  • Ryujinx emulator GitHub repository currently down
  • An "agreement" is no court order, so this is perfectly legal:

  • Ryujinx emulator GitHub repository currently down
  • It’s my understanding that the creator took a payout.

    AFAIK the only statement so far is "agreement" and that that can also mean a legally binding document to take down Ryujinx and never again develop Nintendo emulators or get sued to the moon and back, ie. "sign here or financial ruin".

  • DuckStation Creator Considers Shutting Down Emulator Amid License Change
  • no it isn’t. The old versions are still GPL. permission from contributors was attained.

    Stripping copyright information is a violation of the GPL. friend_of_satan meant that. He clearly did not mean changing the license with consent of all contributors.

  • Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games
  • it’s not my turn to Google things

    It always it. That's basic media savviness. Asking for things that take 5 secs to google is rude.

  • I thought Japan was all about Face. I guess Nintendo is the exception?

    face, farce.

  • Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games
  • Well I asked for a source

    I'm not AwesomeLowlander but you asked for something that can be googled in literally 5 to 10 seconds:

  • Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games
  • My Steam Deck has a 512GiB SD card full of legally backed up games

    FTFY 😁

  • Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games
  • This isn’t a good argument, right?

    The topic is Nintendo who make a handheld console and unless CD Project make a GOGBoy with a bespoke SteamOS-like "console OS", yet another storefront for Windows PCs is hardly an actual alternative.

    I also though of them because they recently improved their subscriber agreement (apparently not for selfless reasons but still an improvement esp. in the light of what Nintendo is currently doing).

  • New Steam Agreement gets rid of forced arbitration and waivers for class action lawsuits
  • I am almost certain that steam keys are actually free to developers, which is the whole reason for the policy.

    Yes, they are. That's what many of the Kinguin etc. keys are. People/bots pretend to be game reviewers/streamers and ask for free keys. I have a "Game Press" license for a game because back then I didn't know of that method. I was under the impression those were keys sold by the developer in foreign markets for adjusted prices. Now I know better.

  • Terroristic threats allowed on lemmy.ml!?!
  • I'd say questions regarding the leanings of specific instances are legitimate and those have been answered but questions regarding what constitutes terrorism and the motivations of fighters in armed conflicts are out of scope for this community. This is just a community about the Fediverse on Lemmy World, we don't arbitrate moderation disagreements here.

  • Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games
  • Steam takes a lot of money for their service, which is a problem.

    They take the same amount of money as other console makers and the store cut is completely unrelated to what Nintendo's lawyers do which is the actual topic here.

  • Valve appear to be testing ARM64 and Android support for Steam on Linux
  • Who says they have to?

    The people demanding a full fledged SteamOS desktop release. It's not full fledged when they'd ignore 80% of desktop GPUs.

  • Me giving advice about text editors
  • Sometimes it’s not so easy to fire up a GUI, like when you ssh into another machine.

    CLI text editors have their specific use cases. For all other cases GUI ones (Kate, VSCode,...) exist.

  • Me giving advice about text editors
  • Hopefully tongue-in-cheek.

    No.

    Because sure. Microsoft Word is the best IDE.

    Learn the difference between a word processor and a text editor.

    Off-topic flamewar about US domestic politics

    This community was essentially unmoderated for a while and I've been recently approached to take over moderation duties here. What I don't intend to do is to change any existing rules here but to enforce what has piled up in the moderation queue.

    The discussion under the recent post about spam accounts turned into a flamewar regarding US domestic politics which has literally nothing to do with the Fediverse.

    With dozens of comments, I don't have the bandwidth to sift through them individually and I've locked the thread. The PSA about spam accounts still stands which is why I didn't remove the post. The accounts involved with that flamewar get a pass for this time. Consider this a warning. Further trolling about US political parties will result in bans.
