They're clearing out the scene before the switch 2 releases because they perceive the current emulators as a major threat somehow.

Which I assume means that the new switch is similar enough in architecture that it would be relatively trivial to ship a fully functional emulator on hardware release.

Pretty insane because at least in the USA, emulation is protected by law, except if someone can successfully argue that you are bypassing DRM which is illegal.

In a working system, this wouldn't be an issue but I imagine neither Yuzu nor Ryjunix would want to deal with Nintendo's insane law team that could wreck them financially in a matter of days before even entering a court room.

I hope someone either makes an anonymous dev team for a future project, or gets assistance from a consumer justice firm/group to properly argue in court to shut Nintendo down. They really should not be able to do this because it was already a thing 24 years ago:

Sony Computer Entertainment v. Connectix Corporation, 203 F.3d 596 (2000), commonly referred to as simply Sony v. Connectix, is a decision by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals which ruled that the copying of a copyrighted BIOS software during the development of an emulator software does not constitute copyright infringement, but is covered by fair use. The court also ruled that Sony's PlayStation trademark had not been tarnished by Connectix Corp.'s sale of its emulator software, the Virtual Game Station.

I did before I switched to Fedora because I wanted something with updated packages lol.

The Arch complaint was a joke, but the hatred for Ubuntu is real.

First distro I tried and it made me think Linux was a broken mess. Turns out it was just Canonical screwing around.

Our crappy vendor software will only function if IPv6 is disabled network wide. Even if one machine has it enabled, the whole thing breaks

Lol our former crappy vendor solution required to be run directly from AD Administrator. Pure luck the entire business didn't collapse before we replaced it.

A thread I read a long time ago on r/sysadmin

If anything we have more chances of seeing change once Kamala is in office than Trump.

This isn't even hopium it's just straight up delusional.

More surprised they actually figured it out who specifically.

No but blindly vote blue

Trump would be worse than the 20 billion dollars of pre approved bombs I can assure you

No such thing as a bad Democrat candidate amirite

I think Iran was waiting for the US to cool off and leave so they could do a tit for tat.

If they go through now, it'll be the same thing but just way more expensive since they'd have to break through both the iron dome and the US running intercept protection.

Okay not my country of residence, but you can choose to burn at the 4th hottest global temp of 54C (129F) or you can also freeze at -65C (-85F).

Optionally, you can also enjoy staring directly at the sun as it rises or sets due to the air pollution.

Oh and you can also find this funni river dolphin:
