This leads to the same kind of erosion of free and open source software as Google taking down projects like youtube-dl on GitHub. The emulator code contains nothing illegal, neither does the developer community, but that's exactly what Nintendo is targeting, because it's the most effective way to shut down any project. The way Nintendo handles these cases is the problem and they have never cared if something is actually completely legal if they want it gone enough, like modding, romhacking or uploading videos of gameplay. At this point they've burnt so much goodwill that I'm hoestly surprised there are still people left willing to insist that Nintendo only goes after actual piracy.

Neither are other methods of air conditioning/circulation.

A steno machine is just a kind of chorded keyboard.

I think you're just being contrarian for no reason. The market for specialty input devices is much smaller compared to "normal" keyboards but it still exists and has become much more diverse over the past decade, with many new niche products being launched. This isn't even the first commercially available chorded keyboard. From the video, this particular iteration seems to be marketed towards mute people and I'm sure that they or people with other kinds of disabilities are probably glad to have any products at all available to aid them in daily tasks. Not every product or company needs to participate in a high volume market. Apparently, the chorded inputs can also be reprogrammed and it can work in a normal keyboard mode, which should make it more flexible than something designed purely for stenography.

Yes, the most important concern with accessibility devices: "Does it make me look attractive?"

Consoles are not universally sold at a loss. Among the notable exceptions is the Nintendo Switch...

Literally nothing happens.

Linux init conservatives: Alright that's the final straw, systemd!

I hate posts where the question is the top (or only) search result and the answer is some dickwad saying "did you try Googling first, smh".

This is such an incredibly naive take that has already been proven wrong by multiple publishers going out of their way to do exactly what you just said. There's also a ton of abandonware which is not being sold and never will be again.

It's only missing every ingredient except Eier.

This looks loke something stupid, but it doesn't really look like KKK costumes. I could understand if your point is that even a vague resemblance might be in poor taste, but "closely resembling" seems like a stretch.

Finally someone tackles the lack of quantity in the video game market.

I wouldn't recommend Docker for a production environment either, but there are plenty of container-based solutions that use OCI compatible images just fine and they are very widely used in production. Having said that, plenty of people run docker images in a homelab setting and they work fine. I don't like running rootful containers under a system daemon, but calling it a giant mess doesn't seem fair in my experience.

That's exactly why they're changing the license. The problem with Swanstation are the developers. Retroarch in general has some pretty horrible people maintaining it and this isn't the first time they've harassed an emulator dev over nothing.

XML aims to be both human-readable and machine-readable, but manages neither. It's only really worth it if you actually need the complexity or extensibility, otherwise it's just a major pain to map XML structures to any sensible type representation. I've been forced to work with some of the protocols that people like to present as examples of good XML usage and I hate every single one of them.

Fuck YAML though. That spec is longer and more complex than any other markup language I know of and it doesn't have a single fully compliant implementation.

If anything, that implies your windows are pretty well insulated, if the outside can get cold enough for water to condense on it. Unless condensation occurs indoors, I wouldn't worry about it.

I think this is the natural conclusion to modern social media. Constantly being confronted by a billion different worldviews and farming people for engagement by showing them things they disagree with is just going to breed extreme echo chambers.

This type of behaviour is neither new, nor actively harmful. There's really nothing you, I or anyone else can do to stop it, so the only remaining choice is to ignore it and not post screenshots in different communities where people agree with you.

C has not aged well, despite its popularity in many applications. I'm grateful for the incredible body of work that kernel developers have assembled over the decades, but there are some very useful aspects of rust that might help alleviate some of the hurdles that aspiring contributors face. This was not a push by rust evangelists, but an attempt to enable modernization efforts at least for new driver development. If it doesn't work out, that's fair enough but I'm grateful for the willingness - especially of Linus - to try something new.

If I may ask: how practical is monitoring / administering rootless quadlets? I'm running rootless podman containers via systemd for home use, but splitting the single rootless user into multiple has proven to be quite the pain.
