Probably for the same reason Nintendo shuttered the stores for 3DS and Wii U over the last year. They are attempting to consolidate infrastructure, support, user base, and sales.

It is likely due to age and popularity. At this point PCSX2 is the only widely popular emulator you've listed, but is older, in the same way Dolphin is old and less of a concern of harming their limelight. That isn't to say those other emulators aren't making waves lately, but there is a window between age and popularity that makes this software a prime target. Especially emulators for current gen, which has been historically very rare, and when it did exist were no where near as good as CEMU, Yuzu, and Ryujinx were.

I had to read this like six times, because it was so illogical my brain refused to comprehend.

In a different world maybe, but I can already see the headlines, “Mozilla open sources lackluster AI tool”. PR is unfortunately a thing, and once you miss that initial wave of interest, you’re unlikely to grab attention later without another marketing push. Mozilla is experienced in open sourcing software, so by now they’re pretty good at knowing when to do it and when not to. In other words, it says something that they chose not to do it in this case.

Believe it or not but it requires resources to open source an internal product, especially one that may have been an experiment where some small team was able to convince leadership could become useful to the masses.

React.js at Facebook is a good example of this. It took a lot of effort to externalize and open source React, and tbh the codebase is still kind of garbage when it comes to contributions from those unfamiliar with its intricacies.

I’m in no way affiliated with zen browser, but if you’re looking for a privacy / Firefox (Gecko) based browser with a nice aesthetic check it out.

It certainly can be a cat and mouse game, but scraping at scale tends to be ahead of the curve of the security teams. Some examples:

Preventing access by requiring an account, with strict access rules can curb the vast majority of scraping, then your only bad actors are the rich venture capitalists.

I hope your resume is good clean fun, just like your meals.

I did, and I stand by what I said.

Review is both taken and given. Peer review does not occur in a single direction, it is a conversation with multiple parties. I can understand if someone misunderstood what I meant though.

As am I, it’s a two way street. You need to review the code, and have it reviewed.

A developer who is afraid of peer review is not a developer at all imo, but more or less an artist who fears exposing how the sausage was made.

I’m not saying a junior who is nervous is not a dev, I’m talking about someone who has been at this for some time, and still can’t handle feedback productively.

In my experience they are held accountable.

I agree w/ the sentiment but I haven’t heard of a dev that isn’t lit on fire from every direction at most of these companies.

It’s usually non-devs who require the encouragement. Although perhaps you meant developer more generally?

I have these exact same issues, never heard of someone else experiencing them.

I’d say the Bluetooth issues, and the inability for me to turn the steam deck on when docked at a distance (without extras) are my biggest pet peeves right now. Otherwise I’m a happy camper.

The Home + A is annoying, but I usually get it after a few attempts.

I used to work in the same office as sketchfab over a decade ago, founders are good people.

And nothing was lost.

Eventually, we might get there, sure. But I don’t see any reason to believe this is it, and I use AI to assist in my programming every day.

If you instead said, some engineers will be replaced by AI. I’d definitely agree, and without a doubt they’ll try, repeatedly.

Slurs should not be excusable when directed at oneself.

For example, if you were to say “I am a retard” in front of someone with a disability, who may have been labeled as such throughout their life, how do you imagine they would feel about that?

Thanks for the response. I have no issues with the existing app personally, so alls well! I guess if apps are starting to deprecate support for 16 I’ll have to look into upgrading in the next year or so anyways.

Will it support iOS 16?

Looks like the test flight build does not.
