  • If someone shared ROMs 20 years ago and stopped, Nintendo wouldn't be able to do anything about it today. The statute of limitations does apply.

    But if someone started sharing ROMs 20 years ago, and continued doing it every day until today, then that means they shared ROMs yesterday. The "crime" still happened yesterday.

    Edit: but they care a lot more about preventing it from happening tomorrow.

  • I don't think that's a good argument. In a more general case, if you didn't pursue your rights 10 years ago that doesn't mean you can't get your shit together and do it today. Maybe you've lost some of what you deserved but you still should get future benefits.

    As for statue of limitations, if it keeps happening today then it doesn't matter when it started. They could only talk about things that happened in the past year - it's still being hosted and shared.

    To be clear, I'm not taking Nintendo's side, all efforts to preserve these games are amazing and I love to see everyone keep it up :)

  • As others are hinting at, there's really no realistic way to add photos or menus to OSM today. I believe photos will always be out of scope for vanilla OSM, and manually adding menus is too tedious to do at scale even if there were standard tags for it. Perhaps there needs to be a universally accepted secondary repository where people can upload photos related to OSM nodes, and then clients would need to know to check that secondary source when the user is viewing a restaurant's details.

    I hate to say it, but until we have something like that, Google Maps are simply the better (only?) place to have this.

  • If rich Brits actually used spices, then what did they use them in? Where did those recipes that use spices go?

    If they didn't actually use spices, then what did they do with them? Just use them as currency?

  • I have it on good authority that Sean Wrona, possibly the fastest typist in the world, does this too. When you really think about it, there's nothing wrong with doing it that way, but I agree that it feels wrong and weird.

    https://youtube.com/watch?v=m9EXEpjSDEw this is what his typing looks like in action (though no clear shot of him using shift or caps lock as far as I can see)

    https://data.typeracer.com/pit/profile?user=arenasnow his profile on a competitive typing website.

    Edit: found a quote from his website:

    I recommend using caps lock instead of shift to type capital letters to allow more flexibility in the hand that you would normally use shift with.

  • I admit I've never used it, but it seems to require you to know in advance the key presses to get the character you want, so it's not going to help if it's a character you only use rarely.

  • Samsung Keyboard literally lets you design your own keyboard layout in a surprisingly robust and rich way. I don't know if it's available on non-Samsung phones though, and I can't wholeheartedly recommend it because it has a bunch of flaws and quirks. For example, every once in a while it seems to do select all + copy + paste, without you going anything besides typing normally. This can scroll the text to an inconvenient place, and remove special formatting. On YouTube if you're replying to a comment it destroys the username you're replying to, replacing the special highlight with just their name in plain text.

  • I actually find it a lot easier on mobile, because you can see all the symbols available to type without having to memorise them or have 2-4 different characters printed on each key. Gboard has almost every special character I ever need to use accessible in its two extra screens, and accented letters like êëéèē accessible by long-pressing the base letter.

    Unexpected Keyboard (on F-Droid) is also fantastic for extra characters, give it a try, but I don't use it as a daily driver because of lack of spellcheck and glide typing.

  • I know, right?

    For real though, Linux Mint comes with what seems to be a clone of it, name included, and I'm pretty sure I've seen other clones of it integrated into writing software. There have been plenty of opportunities to improve on the formula, and the experience is improved slightly, it's just not enough.

    Edit: turns out the one in Mint is GNOME Character Map.
