I’d bet the emulators in use are actually publicly available ones. Not anything Nintendo made. Adding to the hypocrisy.

They caught a building, with a building holding chopsticks.

The troop withdrawal was already being worked before Trump even started campaigning. He just decided to speed it up dramatically so he could say he achieved something, and promised a deadline that was unattainable while doing it well. It’s not random, it’s narcissism at the expense of everything else, including the country.

So when American soldiers die, he could just decide to fold the whole thing again.

That would require him to give a shit about the soldiers dying to make a change. His history says the exact opposite of that. Soldiers dying would do absolutely nothing towards whether he changes anything.

SpaceX knows which terminals have been provided to Ukraine.

They know which ones they’ve provided to Ukraine. Hardware like that has been and is still being donated through third parties daily.

Now, they could have Ukraine tell them which terminals are in use, including anything they’ve gotten from elsewhere, including stolen back from Russia, and use that to manage, but that would require the CEO of the company to actually want to help honestly.

Nah. What ruined it was the fan response to the ending.

That for aure was the ending he had intended for the books and provided to D&D with his outline of major plots points… There’s no way they made that up on their own. The dramatically negative response to the ending means he would have to redevelop the entire ending again.

This is what happens when you give a genocidal psychopath a blank check for protection from the most powerful military on the planet.

Posting as if your choice of OS is inherently superior to other choices is just pathetic.

Oh I don’t misunderstand at all. They’re preaching to the choir and thinking they’re doing something. Like idiots.

If that’s the case and I’ve somehow managed to just never see any of those threads until recently…

They might want to know that constantly saying “Windows bad, Linux good” in every thread doesn’t convert people, it just gets annoying. That in turn makes people dislike the group and dismiss what they say without a second thought, even if they’re right.

I’m just pointing out that it’s a sudden and extreme change in commentary with no ramp up. The kind of thing that in other contexts, like politics, often comes from something like a coordinated attack or disinformation scheme.

Real world testing of a new propaganda campaign system on a topic most users don’t give a shit about (Windows vs Linux), in a niche corner of the internet (Lemmy), isn’t exactly an unlikely scenario.

It better be a major point, their current engine is preventing their games from meaningfully competing now. Their 20 year old engine, makes 20 year old games with a mediocre coat of paint.

Yeah, but don’t get in the way of the Windows evil, Linux savior movement here on lemmy or you’ll get downvoted to oblivion. Pointing out simple facts apparently means you’re a shill.

At least that’s what I’ve seen in all the Windows posts over the last couple months. Not sure what changed from before that, but something definitely did.

Wikipedia often uses Internet Archive links for references so they don’t disappear as sites change or remove content.

Except the store can’t take it back from you if they decide to close up shop. So it inherently is a different product purchase, and should be required to be disclosed as such.

However everyone with more than a wallnut brain knows

And yet we regularly see that is exactly what the average person is. That’s what the laws have to be based around, not those that are educated about a subject.

The average person doesn’t understand licensing as a concept. They buy a movie on DVD, they buy a movie on Amazon streaming. It’s the same term and the same thing to them, but with vastly different restrictions. One you don’t even own the product at all. If Amazon decides to shut the service down, you’re Shit out of Luck. Even though you paid to buy the movie just like if you got it on a disc.

Our laws differentiate that difference in ownership because the corporations want that to be specifically mentioned to protect their interests, but they usually don’t require storefronts to tell consumers that the purchase button doesn’t mean you own the product you’re paying for. You just are able to use it as long as the company wants to let you, with little to no recourse if they change their mind for any reason.

You’re defending this fucked up system whether you intend to or not. You are basically blaming the consumer for not knowing that paying for something one way means they own it, and paying for it a different way means they don’t and it can be taken away at any time.

The point is every company hides simple facts like this in the TOS that no one reads. You know you are one of the handful of people that have bothered reading more than 5 words of it.

We regularly see the average person surprised when companies shutdown or change structures and their digital “purchases” become no longer accessible because they only own a license to something that will no longer exist and there are little to no protections for digital purchases being revoked because most laws are archaic and based on a physical product, even referencing digital items but not taking the nature of that into account.

Remember just a couple years ago when Sony was shutting down a PlayStation Store movie service and those movies were removed from customer libraries? This wasn’t a subscription service with changing library like Netflix, but specific movie purchases advertised as if it would be the same purchase as getting a physical product but digital, and from a large corporation that no one would reasonably expect to suddenly shutdown.

Because we know of course that the TOS is read by absolutely everyone every time, and not just blindly accepted 99.99% of the time because the consumer has no option. Companies can do whatever they want as long as its on the TOS no one reads. We can’t have any sort of oversight or regulation of things companies do if it’s disclosed in the TOS.

They’ll send this one back regardless.

Middle Manglement. Don’t forget they have to put their stink on everything to differentiate themselves.

It’s one of the main reasons ideas that do actually work at a c-suite level end up being implemented terribly in the end.
