Exactly, where with the current system votes for a candidate may end up getting someone else elected, and you get strategic voting instead of voting for what you want.
Yes I'm conflating them to illustrate my point. You are right in that it will increase the amount of people wanting to try it. My point is that these people won't be able to get it running, if, for example, it involves Arch repos which are far beyond the reach of the average person. So the additional awareness might go nowhere.
You say Suyu will have stuff soon, and that there are alternatives. Yes that's correct, which to me means "emulation is not dead yet, there are still alternatives", which doesn't seem like "the opposite effect" at all.
I don't have statistics, but I see lots of Democrats voters saying "I don't like them but at least it's not Trump", and divisions among Republican voters as well. There does seem to be a lot of people who are "forced" to vote for a party even though it's not their ideal choice. A lot of the discourse isn't about what you want, but about making sure the other party won't win. With ranked choice you could actually choose what you actually want, because there is no risk of "letting the other party win".
I’ve voted third party for President twice
And so you ended up having no say on the actual choice. I applaud your idealism, but surely you can agree most people won't entertain that because they will think it's a wasted vote. All these people would maybe vote for your third party choice if they knew their vote won't end up helping the candidate they deem the worst.
My vote for one of the major parties is also pointless, since my state leans strongly in one direction
we don’t even get national campaigns, since we’re not a swing state. They also know my vote is pointless
It leans strongly on the D <-> R axis. If there were 10 other parties trying to get votes, they would campaign in your state to get them and your vote would matter. Even if the D or R is guaranteed to be above the other in your state, ranked choice would allow other parties to be above this pair, while still guaranteeing everyone's D/R choice is respected if it comes to it.
Well, for one thing, I never said it was a positive. I didn’t use that word, nor did I even imply it.
You are saying it's going to have the opposite effect of what Nintendo wants (curtailing emulation), so your claim is that this is going to make emulation more widespread. Correct me if I misunderstood.
Look at LibreOffice.
I never disagreed that a fork can end up good. I said Yuzu shutting down won't help emulation.
This statement literally proves my point. The binaries still exist in some repos, like the Arch extras repo.
Your claim was that this is "increased awareness to the average person". How are you mixing "average person" and "Arch extras repo"? The average person uses Windows, Googles "yuzu" and doesn't find anything clear. This was my point, it brought awareness to me and I saw myself that Yuzu is no longer accessible to the average person.
Please explain how Nintendo is worse off now if that's really what you think. All your arguments boil down to "this means nothing in the long term, emulation is going to be fine", which I agree with. I still don't see how this is having "the opposite effect" though.
Yes the project can continue. The original developers, who were obviously best suited to continue it, are gone. I'm sure suyu can do a good job, but I just don't see how you can call it a positive.
I don't know who the suyu contributors are, but so far all the activity was renames and migrations to GitLab, not a single technical commit. Are any of them actually able to work on a Switch emulator? Maybe they are, I genuinely don't know, but the activity on the project so far doesn't indicate that.
You say the binaries and tutorials still exist. I wasn't interested in Switch emulation before this, but wanted to try out of curiosity when this happened. I'm a developer myself, and it was difficult finding information. All the download sites and tutorials are dead, and sketchy alternate downloads cannot be trusted. How is the average person, as you say, supposed to download Yuzu now? I eventually got it running but it was far from easy and I had to view tutorials through archive.org. Again, not impossible, but far from the "opposite effect". Access to Switch emulation for the average person was lowered.
Nobody votes third party because it's pointless. That in turn means new parties have no reason to exist. Once it was actually possible to vote for a third party while still making a choice between the top 2, people would do that, and options would appear.
If your mental model of time is based on analog clocks, then when looking at a digital clock you have to translate it back to clock hands to know what it means, and that's slower than immediately seeing the analog clock face.
That's what everyone tells themselves because "haha Nintendo stupid".
No it's not going to have the opposite effect. Best case scenario a different team will take over the project and continue, which is not impossible, but far from a given. More awareness to an abandoned project? Yes, but the entire point is that Yuzu developers won't add Switch 2 support, and that was assured.
He doesn't "turn bad". He's good all along, but he's a target of a witch hunt, understandably gets jaded by it and gets absolved at the last moment. It's the judging commission or however they called themselves who are the bad guys there. Gaeta is innocent all along, even if he is annoying at times.
On 4, this just changes the question to spoofing the pedometer value rather than spoofing the location. Which makes it worse, because that's much harder to detect.
Since this is an MMORPG, how so you prevent cheating? Since this works offline, what prevents someone from faking the steps count and reporting to the game that they totally made 50000 steps while the phone was offline for 24 hours?
They won't, they are an LLC. They can declare bankruptcy and close down the company. The actual people behind it are not responsible for paying, the company is.
Cool, how it's going with fixing current bugs? Switch 2 support is coming along nicely I assume?
I jest, but Nintendo didn't expect the current version of the project to disappear. They just wanted to stop further development, which will over time make it less relevant, and most importantly won't be a problem for Switch 2 games.
When I first found about Lemmy I landed on join-lemmy.org, which told me lemmy.ml is big instance ran by the Lemmy developers, so it sounded like the most "default" option.
Now this thread tells me it has some political affiliation and many people judge/block it... How is someone who only found out about Lemmy supposed to know this.
Exactly, where with the current system votes for a candidate may end up getting someone else elected, and you get strategic voting instead of voting for what you want.
