Pokemon MMO's are the entire different thing. I am not 100% sure how they developed them, but they seem to be just reimplementations of original game mechanics, but while reusing original assets.
And yet I don't understand why you say they are not taken down by Nintendo. Couple of them were already closed down because of copyright infringement, and they made big news about that.
They will eventually be all taken down. That's the point. They have no legal framework to exist, and Nintendo could strike any time they want, like Rockstar did with the re3 project.
They also have valid reasons to think that these projects are causing them to lose money, since they give alternative (and technically better) solutions to play their old games, without buying any Nintendo hardware or software (unless you dump your games, but let's be honest. You don't).
No one says that the actual source code (C or whatever) is "piped out". The machine instructions (in form of a binary) you have before decompiling is the code that is executed by the machine/emulator is copyrighted like any other data on the disc/cartridge. You are not writing the game yourself if you are decompiling it. And it's logically a derivative work. The fact that the resulting "instructions" is not the source code that developers wrote is as expected. It won't create it from thin air.
I don't understand what kind of mental gymnastics you need to do to think that you are doing something original here.
I won't say if that project is legal or not, but expect it (and many others) to be taken down by Nintendo soon. Make a local copy if you want to preserve it.
There was only one time when Microsoft cared about having consistent UI and even did a lot of research on how to make operating system easier for people that didn't use computers before. It was when they developed Windows 95.
A relative lately wanted me to burn an Audio CD on their Windows 10 PC. I had little to no idea how to do it, since last time I did that was on Windows XP.
There's a reason why modern browsers have multiple processes. Each tab and extension is sandboxed for stability and security reasons. There are also memory mechanisms that free up memory when other non-browser processes need it, but I am not an operating system expert/engineer so I am unable to explain it in details. Google Gemini it up.
Also Firefox tends to use similar amount of RAM as Chrome, and it's silly that it's only Chrome is being making fun of for that.
Of course it doesn't meant that modern web is fucking shit, but you cannot only blame modern browsers for that. It's just mostly bloated JavaScript bullshit.
By the way, I wish there was some alternative to modern Web which works like basic HTML + CSS, maybe even without using two languages for two different things (website content and stylesheet). If we had this, we could even have lightweight Markdown/WikiText/You_name_it viewer if exported to that format on the fly (by an app not JS).
I was always wondering why there's no real audio-based interface for blind people, instead of trying to describe what's on the screen. Have this ever been tried out?
Programming for accessibility is one of these things that I always fascinated me, and it makes me sad that support for it no longer matters for a lot of software developers. Maybe it's something I am going to try to do? Is there any documentation where to start with that?
Tildes. And maybe Hacker News.
