Without continued development though, new games are likely to have an increasing number of issues running on either emulator.

Even Starlink: Battle for Atlas, the closest thing to a Star Fox game on the Switch (can't just get another version of it, since the Star Fox DLC is Switch-exclusive), crashes in both Yuzu and Ryujinx, something I'd hoped would eventually be fixed before the emulators were taken down.

It'd be great if California's consumer privacy protections could be applied at the federal level, but as long as the Republicans retain the presidency, either house of congress, or the Supreme Court, it would either never get passed or simply get struck down and returned to the state regulatory level.

A functional voting system that allowed for the success of third parties in the United States would be great. Unfortunately, without ranked choice voting, voting for a third party candidate just means splitting the vote for one's next-preferred candidate. The most recent example of this would be George H. W. Bush's re-election loss in 1992, due in part to Ross Perot's popularity as a third-party candidate.

As things stand, the pragmatic choice is therefore to vote for the lesser of two evils. While I'd vote for a third-party candidate in a heartbeat if they had a realistic chance of winning, when the choice is a isolationist, corrupt, bigoted felon or anyone else, the easy choice is anyone else.

They complain about jobs being industrial decline due to the outsourcing of manufacturing jobs, but then blame inflation on efforts to increase the minimum wage to a living wage, rather than corporate profit-gouging.

While many of them might not mind living in a country with a class of underpaid manufacturing workers—presumedly the undocumented immigrants they simultaneously want to deport—the better option is to invest in economic development that bolsters the country's modern service economy, or specialized manufacturing facilities that can compete without needing ineffective tariffs.

And when Trump implements those tariffs, rather than recognizing their role in inevitable price increases, those same people will instead blame underpaid workers, inevitable counter-tariffs, or anyone else but Trump.

They also won't recognize that any economic growth in the next four years won't benefit them in the slightest, but rather go straight into the pockets of those responsible for outsourcing jobs in the first place. All the while supporting them, with anyone else just needing to 'pull themselves up' with imaginary bootstraps.

An odd way to state that African Americans have disproportionately high amounts of medical debt; if anything, it's an indicator of unequal access to economic opportunities that let people afford expensive medical treatments.

Therefore, rather than shifting the narrative into one of handouts, a better solution would be to make progress on reducing the country's inflated medical costs—the result of capitalism being applied to the inelastic demand for essential medical services.

For many Palestinian civilians, 'all hell' and more has already broken out.

Stremio comes with a few addons for content navigation by default, but to actually watch most things within Stremio itself, the unofficial Torrentio addon is needed. There's other content addons too, but Torrentio seems to work the best.

Torrentio itself needs a debrid service API key to function, with Real-Debrid being the cheapest at about $3 a month.

Stopping people from demeaning people on account of their sexual orientation or gender identity isn't censorship, it's ensuring the platform is sufficiently inclusive for everyone to feel safe participating in the first place.

While I don't personally encourage the use of Facebook on account of its data profiteering, anyone who doesn't mind that shouldn't be subjected to harassment by bigots, regardless of how many such bigots get elected to Congress in any given year.

As a condition of receiving federal funds, states with budget deficits shouldn't be allowed to cut income taxes; it's essentially passing off those costs to taxpayers in other states.

Black Flag was the first one I played. As a result I then played Rogue and 3, then tried 2, which seemed mechanically a bit outdated (might try it again; just wish its health UI were more like Black Flag's), so played Unity instead. Still have to try Syndicate, which seems to still be mechanically similar enough to the original formula to be interesting.

Played Origins past the first boss fight, but stopped since it no longer felt like an Assassin's Creed game. Odyssey and Valhalla appear to replicate the Origins formula, so skipped them altogether. Might try Mirage at some point, given its lack of the RPG mechanics of the prior three games, but probably won't get Shadows due to it seemingly returning in part to the RPG formula.

Wouldn't be surprised if JetBlue paid a $1 million bribe to Trump's 'inaugural' fund to keep the regulation unenforced, in the unlikely event that it would even be pursued by the incoming administration in the first place...

The 'restored' version is an official ROM hack of the NES version, so it can be played on the NES itself too via a flashcart.

Pokémon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire; unironically more addictive than the mainline Pokémon games.

While I too find Linux, Arch Linux in my case due to the Steam Deck, to often be overly complicated, with operating system settings not nearly as streamlined via GUIs as on Windows, the forced switch to the enshittified Windows 11 has motivated me to set up the Steam Deck as similarly to my Windows 10 laptop as possible.

While most Windows 10 programs should work on Windows 11, I'd rather go through the hassle of switching to an OS I can trust and configure to my liking, rather than one where configuration via the Windows registry can have unintended side effects.

If program compatibility is a worry in your switch to Linux, proton, and wine as a whole, can usually let you use Windows programs on Linux; it's how most games are able to run on the Steam Deck in the first place.

In terms of Firefox, while there's a couple things I miss from my switch away from Chrome, such as network media playback support and built-in web-app functionality, better adblocking support via Manifest V2 add-ons and less to worry about in terms of data privacy make putting up with the hassle of configuring it to my liking more than worthwhile. Via the browser's chrome.css GUI configuration capabilities, I disabled several menu options and context menu items to make it more like what I had been used to in using Chrome.

Will it have a New New Funky Mode?

The loss of built-in PWA support was the biggest disappointment I had when switching from Chrome to Firefox, with the add-on solutions I tried having one problem or another in replicating my goal of making opening a handful of websites I had set to be PWAs look as much like regular applications as possible. While I wouldn't switch back to Chrome in a second, and am still trying to get the rest of my family to make the switch, there's a number of things Firefox needs to implement to remove the remaining roadblocks for people looking to make the switch away from Chrome or another Chromium browser.

While I'm no fan of Epic Games for bribing companies to keep games off of Steam for a year or more, Valve's market dominance in PC game sales isn't a good thing for developers or consumers.

Not if the admins of an instance want to maintain their echo chamber by shepherding discussions towards extremist viewpoints.
