Yeah that would make sense except you missed a key point:
Connectix's development strategy was based upon reverse engineering the PlayStation's BIOS firmware, first by using the unchanged BIOS to develop emulation for the hardware, and then by developing a BIOS of their own using the original firmware as an aid for debugging.
The whole point here is that Connectix used Sony's BIOS to develop their own BIOS. Yuzu is not doing that. They don't have their own BIOS they are providing to their users. They are telling people to use Nintendo's bios, but that they aren't providing it.
This. This seems to be the argument that Nintendo is hinging on. In order for Yuzu to play the games properly you need a prod.keys file. I guess Nintendo is claiming that the keys in this file are owned by them and it's illegal to have that number much in the same way the number used to represent the C code for decoding DVD copy protection is illegal: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_number#Illegal_primes
I am no lawyer but seems tenuous when you can run a program to get the prod.keys from your own console. Especially when that code is legal and exists on GitHub: https://github.com/Decscots/Lockpick_RCM
Lol, didn't the fucking SCOTUS wedding cake case also clearly make this illegal? As per that case it's unconstitutional because you can't compel someone to make art, that's compelling speech and against the 1st amendment. So you can't force the writers to include a character in their art either.
Couldn't agree more. If you make the decision to drive drunk and then injure someone you should never be allowed to drive ever again.
I liken drinking and driving to attempted murder because you very well could murder someone doing that. The fact that the penalties are so low is why this keeps happening.
If you risked 20 years in prison every time you drink and drive it would happen a lot less. This is pretty much the one instance where I think the fear of punishment should out-prioritize rehabilitation because the act is just so egregious and preventable.
Did everyone gloss over the part where she was drunk?!?
Whilst in hospital, Casey provided a sample of blood which was tested for alcohol content and found to be over the legal limit for driving.
How she only got 20 months of jail time is beyond me... Also were all the relatives in the car children? I'm assuming so because otherwise why were they letting her drive?!?
It's a good thing you answered truthfully. Cannabis affects the way anesthesia works so they may not have given you enough if you had lied and said no.
PSA to anyone getting any sort of anesthetic/anesthesia. Always be truthful about your marijuana use.
The corporatization of the news media literally started with Richard Nixon and Roger Ailes who eventually found Rupert Murdoch to fund their vision with Fox News.
You know why they wanted to start their own media organization? Because they didn't like public broadcasting, the organization for public broadcasting, the organization created by Lyndon B Johnson and Congress to fund public media (which helps fund NPR and PBS). They thought that public broadcasting would favor Democrats too much (you know that whole the truth has a liberal bias thing). So they decided to create a media organization in which they could control the narrative instead of letting independent journalists do their job.
It took until 1996 for them to get everything together with Rupert Murdoch and the rest is history. The corporatization of other media outlets was in direct response to how Fox News ran their business because they cared more about ratings and making money than actual journalism, which caused the other news media organizations to follow suit.
So you could very much make the argument that Fox News was the root of the issue, depending on how you look at it. You can either say Fox News ruined the atmosphere around journalism and they started the backslide on the slippery slope, or you can argue that it was an inevitable outcome of deregulation. It becomes a philosophical argument at that point.
Do you know why Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch launched Fox News in 1996? Because on January 3, 1996 the Telecommunications act of 1996 was enacted. This completely deregulated the American media market and led to market concentration and is the reason corporations like Sinclair now reach 39% of the American market. (The max reach they are legally allowed to have). Murdoch announced Fox News less than a month later on January 31st, 1996 before Clinton had even signed the bill into law.
So even if you think the outcome was inevitable, Fox News certainly jumped on it faster than anyone else and were the ones to start the enshittification of news media.
Exactly my thought. This should never reach SCOTUS though because this is so objectively unconstitutional that every court should throw it out before it ever even comes to trial.
I'm gonna sum up my feelings on this with a (probably bad) analogy.
AI taking software developer jobs is the same thinking as microwaves taking chefs jobs.
They're both just tools to help you achieve the same goal easier/faster. And sometimes the experts will decide to forego the tool and do it by hand for better quality control or high complexity that the tool can't do a good job at.
Conservatives in a nutshell. (I'll add the /s here for anyone not getting the joke that I'm doing the exact thing we're talking about)
