Malware just means “Software the user doesn’t want on their system”. Bloatware counts as malware.

According to Ryujinx developer and discord moderator Riperiperi, “[On September 30] gdkchan was contacted by Nintendo and offered an agreement to stop working on the project, remove the organization and all related assets he’s in control of. While awaiting confirmation on whether he would take this agreement, the organization has been removed, so I think it’s safe to say what the outcome is. Rather than leave you with only panic and speculation, I decided to write this short message to give some closure”

Seems like this was a deal done behind closed doors between the project owner and Nintendo. It’s completely reasonable to expect someone else to pick up the project under a different name, using source code available from earlier forks.

Unfortunately, this will further splinter the Switch emulation development community, and cause any work that was not yet release-ready (such as features detailed by Riperiperi later in the same announcement as the one quoted above) to likely never see the light of day.

This looks more like modern art than a peripheral

While accurate, we’ll probably never find out if they end up being the ones responsible for his assassination.

Yeah I know he is already, but if he becomes more overt about it then the government will be more likely to be overt about treating him as such

Or rather, they assassinate him themselves, since someone who has held clearance higher than any other member of the US government is a liability if he becomes disloyal to the US

I guess you could say they’re plugging up the discussion!

In all seriousness, it takes more humanity to make a relevant joke than to identify an object in an image, analyze the accompanying text, and form a response that answers the question without a trace of a smart-ass tone.

The old sci-fi books were right. You can’t teach a robot to laugh. Not in the same way people do, with the tech we currently have, at least.

I just wish more people would be helpful after making their joke, all within the same comment. Keep it engaging and relevant rather than picking just one lane.

Capitalism moment.
I wonder how many more people are in those “congested areas” than the “excess capacity areas” and how much profit Starlink will make from this move

Serves that law firm right tbh

In a technical sense, a consumer VPN service is really more of an encrypted proxy than anything else. It tries to obfuscate what network traffic and activity you’re actually participating in by both appearing as the endpoint for your connection, and the destination for the connection of the sites you visit and internet services you use.

A true VPN does more than that, allowing multiple computers that are not sharing a router to communicate with each other as if they are. For context, certain IP addresses are local-only, such as any IP starting with 192.168.x.x. This means that when you access the broader internet, your IP is different than the one used when you try to use your WiFi printer on your same network. They’re both your addresses, you have them at the same time, but one is really the address of your whole network while the other is the address of your computer in that network. Think “building street address” and “office number in that building”

For businesses and other organizations, a VPN is a useful way to allow users to connect using these local-only addresses without physically being connected to the network those local addresses are valid in. You don’t have to expose the printer to the Internet, you just need to expose the VPN service to the Internet, and then allow VPN users to connect to the network when they need to use the printer

East Asian languages aren’t pictograms. Most use phonetic alphabets. Among those that don’t, very few characters use visual resemblance to convey meaning, and no language uses primarily pictographical characters.

While true that the term originates from Japanese, it’s important to note that emoji is a loanword that has been adapted into english by changing its pronunciation subtly, and replacing its spelling with a phonetically similar one in an alphabet not used in Japanese.

This is similar to when words and phrases are used without much adaptation in the middle of sentences that are otherwise in a different language. There’s a certain je ne sais quoi about English and how it mixes loanwords (such as “calque”), calques (such as “loanword”, where individual parts of the word are translated then recombined) and entire unchanged terms (such as “je ne sais quoi”) freely, and to varying degrees depending on where you are and who you talk to.

While I don’t think it’s as high as 90% of users, I admit I didn’t think about people who would subject themselves to Arch just to not take advantage of what Arch has to offer.

(But seriously, why would anyone choose to do this when they can just install Mint)

It’s not about Arch itself being a unique choice, it’s about how Arch looks very different from user to user because they not only had the option but the requirement to install nearly everything but the Kernel themselves.

The result is that no two Arch users end up with the same OS, just the same kernel and package manager.

Mother nature never intended anything because mother nature is just random chance and multiplication of the best fit

Humans are not bad for the environment. Capitalism is bad for the environment. Before imperialism and capitalism, most places on earth were populated by indigenous humans who actually protected the land they relied on to survive. There was no drive to exploit the land for all its resources, and there was an existential motivator for preserving nature as best as possible.
