Never give Nintendo money.

Are you also frightened?

Jiggling TBD.

Don’t use inline code / code blocks formatting for text. There’s no line breaks and the syntax highlighting is nonsense.

“Oh come on, why the fuck, there’s no possible reason this code should-- wrong variable.”

I have too many comments reading “… how did this ever work?”

Jesus fuck, we can have two problems.

You could solve economic disparity by magic, and spread class consciousness to the whole world, and there’d still be some bigoted motherfuckers out there, tricking other people into becoming bigoted motherfuckers.

Downvotes on the comment suggest I already have.

I really adore the game-developing parts of Nintendo. I even admire their history of promoting creative randos. But their legal department is a threat to entire concepts on the internet and in general computing, so the whole company can go fuck a rake.

Never give Nintendo money.

Other chip companies abound, they just cannot make x86. That’s been a duopoly for nearly thirty years. VIA was an asterisk on that until they got bought by some Chinese company. Cyrix tried faking their way around it via what we’d now call microcode, and it went poorly.

x86 would become like ARM… which admittedly could be devastating toward RISC-V.

Cram them under AMD and make it not-a-monopoly by ending all x86 patents.

Almost certainly. Current hardware is still for ultranerds ready to recompile everything from source each time Youtube updates. The very near future will see cheapo consumer hardware featuring all the fixes those people figured out. Applications will creep upward after that - like any disruptive technology.

But it’s already real enough that the latest Raspberry Pi has two RISC-V cores, just because it can.

So it’s a generic emulator that cannibalizes a goofy-but-rare controller?

Meh.

These polls tend to fumble their own methods, by trusting people to read definitions. They should be asking directly: how many people in your country were born in another country? The word “immigrant” literally means that… but that’s not the only meaning people envision, when they hear that word. To some extent you are always measuring that disconnect.

On the other hand, what fucking lunatics think 22% of America is Muslim?

“They have a monopoly” doesn’t mean they’re the asshole.

But they still have a monopoly.

People get so fucking weird trying to deny this. They insist there’s good reasons none of their competitors matter, when the question was, do their competitors matter. They proudly state they never consider buying from anywhere else… end of thought. No amount of explanation for why they’re the PC gaming store will change that they are the PC gaming store. But the label doesn’t mean it’s their fault. The label means, it is so.

“Because” doesn’t change what we’re talking about. You said: “no one is competing on PC”. That’s a monopoly. That’s you, calling Steam a monopoly. Do you understand that? Saying ‘Steam is a monopoly because…’ would not change that.

I gave you those reasons already.

In response to a comment reading: “Reasons do not change how it is plainly a monopoly.”

Their market share is what make them a monopoly. That’s what the word means.

You literally said “no one is competing on PC.”

If you’re not arguing against calling that a monopoly, I’m pretty fuckin’ sure everyone else missed it.
