Are you talking about MK8 on the WiiU, or MK8 Deluxe on the Switch?

For what it's worth, I've only played the WiiU one, and I really enjoy it. It's go as far as to say it's the only Mario Kart I've really enjoyed. I don't have a Switch, so I can't talk to that version.

I don't think I've ever had this feeling, to be honest.

No Android builds :(

I really, really wish we could degender "guy" and "guys". I know plenty of people of all genders that use the words in general to describe people, objects, concepts, everything. The only holdouts are people that insist on it specifically meaning males. Ironically, these people are often the hardcore feminists.

If other English words can change their meanings and be claimed/reclaimed by certain groups, why can't others?

Take guy! Use it to describe whatever you want! Free it of its historically phallic shackles!

There are three issues here:

1. The leaked ROM of Tears of the Kingdom and a .nfo that specifically told people to use Yuzu
2. The developers recently released an Android version that works really, really well. There are many Android based gaming handhelds on the market now, and several are powerful enough to run Switch games using Native Code Execution (think virtual machine for ARM). Switch emulation was being used as a benchmark in techie videos of these products! TotK still isn't great on the most powerful ones, but give it another year or two, and you'll get the full Switch experience without a Switch.
3. The developers fucking sold the emulator. Sure, it was only for early access, but a sale is a sale. Then there the whole patreon thing.

Those three things combined put Yuzu right in Nintendo's sights

I'm gonna try reading it while on shrooms to see if it makes more sense

Not necessarily. The LLC will pay out as much as it can and then filler for bankruptcy. The individuals will likely get off scott free since they've not actually been convicted of any wrongdoing.

I imagine that developing Yuzu and Citra would be a huge item on their CVs, too. Honestly, if Nintendo were smart, they would have tried to buy the project somehow and hire the developers to work on backwards compatibility for whatever the console that comes after the Switch 2 is..

Yeah, of all the forks and mirrors I've checked out, none of them even have the Android builds. Obviously I've not checked them all, but still...

It runs on Android now, which might be what's gotten Nintendo extra annoyed here, since there are some relatively affordable Android handhelds that can run Switch games at close to full speed with some tweaking.

Having said that, I have an Odin 2 handheld, and it would have been cheaper and easier to just buy a Switch and the games I want to play.

I mean, Uluru is the definition of "middle of fucking nowhere"...

It's not just the enshittification of their own service; it's the fact that so many audios decided to pull their content and set up their own enshittified services.

Now, if I want to watch stuff legally, I have to have a bunch of subscriptions, and we're back to where we started from.

I have a Boox Nova Air. It's a 7" B&W e-reader. It's nice to have a boring Android tablet that also happens to be an e-reader.

I wouldn't recommend ePaper for anything but the very lightest of web browsing. The like refresh rate really is a lot to take in.

Using the pen is nice. It feels a lot like black magic, really. It's just like drawing on paper.

If like to get a colour version to read comics, but let's face it, I can't even remember where my current one is, let alone the last time I turned it on..

I started paying for YT Premium a few years ago when there was an election on, and one of the absolute worst minor parties that's run by a billionaire just threw money at YouTube advertising.

I haven't looked back. I watch YT content on my ShieldTV poetry much exclusively, so adblock doesn't work anyway :/

Google having a history of all the videos you watch via your account.

They already do this anyway. They also do it whether you have an account or not.

The clarifying statement I've seen elsewhere for this is that "...there are no impediments to returning the cart".

I would say my Sega GameGear, but I just went to turn it on, aaaaaaand it's probably well past time to replace the caps. And screen. And motherboard...

I liked them. I also really enjoyed playing 3D games on the 3DS, especially the 3D-ified 16bit games.

I use AIMP. It's available for PC also. It's like what Winamp would be had development continued, and it's pretty great

Edit: I'm pretty sure it's not open source, but that's very low on my personal list of priorities, tbh

Then you are a good agent! My last job was for the ATO, processing tax returns & activity statements, managing written-off debt, doing the call centre stuff. I got a pretty bad taste in my mouth from some of the tax agent stuff I saw going on. Especially those big firms, especially eTax. Agents like yourself with business tax returns and activity statements were almost universally legends to deal with.

So many of my current colleagues absolutely insist that they must use a tax agent because it's all so complicated. "Do you have investments? Rental income? Run a side hustle? No? Then just go to myGov"

...only to find out that they just went straight back to their dodgy agent.

You missed the "for my use case" part. I won't go into all the details, but browser and search are pretty much the only things that I can ditch at the moment.

Unfortunately, degoogled Android is still... Android. That OS has been made considerably less fun and enjoyable over the last few years by Google themselves, regardless of any of their additional services. :(
