  • Because people think that Nintendo deserves that money and pirating is unfair and wrong. In a vacuum, they do make good games that are worth the money but with all the shit they're pulling, they're basically abusing the law and their power as a huge company to force people to do what they want. That's why, in my eyes, it's only fair to pirate their stuff. If they're gonna play unfair, so am I. There's a huge chunk of people who aren't that well informed on what Nintendo's doing and why it's wrong, who don't want to do something illegal or who just want the convenience tho.

  • That's only temporary tho. One fork will emerge as the replacement everyone goes to, including the developers who were only working on Yuzu and Citra as volunteers. We know what Nintendo was sueing over, so that can probably be avoided in that fork.

  • It's the other way around imo. I don't want to pay hundreds of euros for a console (which is still just a computer) that is slower than my phone just because Nintendo puts artificial restrictions on what hardware the software they make can run on. I already have a PC that could run those games perfectly fine. Or rather, it can run those games perfectly fine, way better than a Switch actually. Unfortunately, the only way for me to play those games on my PC, without having to buy a console I don't need, is to pirate them.

    So basically, I can either pirate the games for free to play them on my PC or I pay for a console for no other reason but to get the privilege of being able to pay for the games.

  • But that's why UnifiedPush exists, an open standard where you can choose what server to use or selfhost it

  • You're right about the last part, I didn't think about that. But wasn't the whole point of this that you can only backup your system and app data to iCloud? Can you back that up using a computer as well?

  • Since I learned about LLMs when ChatGPT became popular, the one thing I wanted to see was games where you can actually talk to NPCs (using a locally running LLM like here, not using ChatGPT) and it's cool to see that we're getting closer and closer to that

  • Apps running in the background was how it was done before but it drained a lot of battery, which is why it's done this way now. Even KDE is implementing UnifiedPush. Things like the Firefox progress bar notification also don't use this system at all.

  • You should look into Krita. Not a replacement for Photoshop but I find it more intuitive than GIMP, at least.

  • Good thing grandmas are on there. I hate grandmas 😡😡🤬🤬

  • If you have a better way to do this, I'd really like to hear it. Also, what additional features are you talking about?

  • Dab pen and LSD, I'm gonna have a great fucking time

  • Yeah, it was exactly like that for me too. Bought a few disposables (still have them in my drawer, will probably bring them to the supermarket for recycling at some point) because I didn't want to actually start vaping but realized that I already did.

  • That's only true for disposable vapes tho and I think a Pfand system, like we have for plastic bottles in Germany, would be a way better idea. People are already illegaly shipping them in from China, banning them won't stop that.

  • I don't like Google either but this design makes perfect sense. There's a reason UnifiedPush works the same way. It sucks that you can't choose a different server but that's just how Google does things.

  • It was you, wasn't it?

  • I already explained how the whole push notification thing works in this comment. If you're using a degoogled phone, you'll be fine. MicroG has the option to use Firebase but you need to be logged in with a Google account, enable device registration and enable cloud messaging for it to use it. Google has the data about when you got a push notification from what app since it goes through their server and the app developer can obviously log the notification data from their app.

  • Actually, there's something exactly like that on Android too. Just like on iOS, you also don't have the choice to back that up to where you want tho. You have to use Google Drive if you're not using a custom ROM like LineageOS.

  • As far as I know, Android also doesn't give you the option to back up system and app data to something else than Google Drive. LineageOS gives you that option but they implemented that themselves.
