I did look it up afterwards and found out it could also be Arizona, but still wasn't sure. I figured porn sites would also be capable of mysteriously mistaking an Azerbaijani IP for a Texan IP. I also figured internationally obscure ISO 3166-2 subdivision codes were much less likely to come up than ISO 3166-1 country codes given that people are much less likely to know what they are, plus they are much more likely to overlap with each other and cause ambiguity. But it is very American to assume everyone else knows the US's subdivision codes and Lemmy probably has far more Arizonans than Azerbaijanis, so I wasn't completely sure either way.

What's AZ? Azerbaijan?

Visit about:compat. Sites already do that. Firefox can deal.

Man, this guy does not give up. Respect, honestly. Hope for the best this time.

Huh, just realized Yuzu was GPLv3. That's weird. Citra was GPLv2 and Yuzu is a Citra fork. Some of the Citra devs were Yuzu developers, but not all of them, so I wonder how they handled the relicensing. Yuzu had a CLA attributing copyright to the creators, so that wouldn't have been a problem, but Citra had not such thing.

I mean, all of these emulators are already very well archived and available from several sources, not to mention downloaded to the devices of millions of people. I highly doubt we would be in danger of losing any of them even if Nintendo were to sue literally all of them overnight. Well, except for things like Github issues and pull requests, nobody bothers to archive those unfortunately.

But yeah, IMO the danger is moreso that the attacks are leading to a massive chilling effect and loss of developer talent in the emulation community.

What operating system do you use? On Linux I use Amarok which is great, but afaik there's no up-to-date versions of it for other operating systems. It should have everything you want dunno about some of these tho like the semicolon stuff. Strawberry is a similar player that works on other operating systems.

try disabling any krunner plugins you don't need. that should make things faster.

The article you linked makes a big deal about literally nothing. We've known Chrome was going to drop MV2 for years. We also know Firefox won't. There is nothing more they have to do or say about this situation. It doesn't affect Firefox whatsoever.

"Suspiciously silent" is such a bullshit nothing accusation to make. It is so obviously trying to capitalize on how many users have been (justifiably) turning on Mozilla as of late.

Sketchup has always worked pretty well with Wine. It's always just been installing a couple of things with winetricks (like vc runtimes) and then it usually works fine.

Uh, no. Not the majority. Not by a long shot.

Kinda insane how many people in a nominally open source community are defending this guy for switching to a proprietary license. If DuckStation gets shut down then I say good riddance. It is not the only PS1 emulator in town and I will not miss the endless flow of Stenzek-related drama.
