Open Source@lemmy.ml•Yuzu & Citra devs fold to Nintendo's demands | Pay $2.3million to settle, take down github, domains, patreon, discord, with immediate effect.English
12·2 years agoI do wonder if this is specifically what got them, would probably take a lemmy lawyer to unpack it, but I would have to imagine if they didn’t have a patreon and basically a company, it would have been much harder for Nintendo to do anything about them. And I would also imagine in retrospect whatever money they got was not worth it when it ends like this.
I always assume when people operate services like this, that they host it in a country like Russia that’s less likely to care about takedowns by western corpos and done anonymously as possible. Even though it’s just an emulator, you would think they wouldn’t be so brazen as to have a patreon which I’m sure requires someone’s identity/billing info. They probably still could have been tracked down if they took crypto donations or something like that, but you would think that would be the first choice over putting a giant target on their backs. Patreon is obviously just gonna hand over whatever info they are asked to give when served a warrent, and so is Discord for that matter if they had any personal info on there too.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•GitHub - j-fbriere/squawker: An open-source privacy oriented Twitter/X client
53·2 years agothey have not blocked it and they probably won’t block it bc it involves signing in with your twitter and since it’s just an android app it’s not gonna get as big as nitter, I don’t think it’s really helpful to tell people to “just accept it” as an individual you’re not gonna be able to successfully lobby everything you follow to change to bluesky (which I think you can get rss feeds from) or masto (which you can get rss feeds from), like for example your city’s local government/services only posts on facebook and twitter, no rss, this is still useful for things like that

20·2 years agoI don’t disbelieve it, but I’m gonna wait to read about it not in the daily mail and I don’t think other serious sources have reported on it yet, unless google has just ceased working as a search engine which is very possible.

World News@lemmy.ml•The growing controversy over Israel’s Eurovision song entry
16·2 years agoIt only has to do with being an ebu/sister org member which many arab states are eligible to compete, but refuse to do so since Israel is in it/ in some cases having laws preventing the broadcasting of anything Israel was involved in making.

World News@lemmy.ml•Saudi Arabia puts seven men to death in largest execution in years
112·2 years agoI’m personally against sentencing death regardless of what they did, especially in cases like Saudi Arabia where they have more than enough money to handle imprisoning people for life. Call me a crypto-catholic, but I don’t think killing people is good if it can be avoided, which in this case it definitely could have been.

1141·2 years agoDoesn’t help that being a cop unironically requires less training then the vast majority of other jobs. You would think giving someone a gun to point at people, who they’re largely supposed to “protect” would require at least a few years of training.

Global News@lemmy.zip•Conservative UK MP sparks backlash after 'no-go area' claims about London and Birmingham
42·2 years agoThose areas apply to visible minorities aka black people and indigenous people etc. in the US, it doesn’t go the other way around, there are no sundown towns/areas for white people and there aren’t in Britian either.
It’s a video from a good place, but doing things like this are exactly the kinds of things that fuel content leeches like Destiny, he’s one of the few people that is not worth responding too pretty much no-matter what, I guess the intention could be to offer deprogramming for Destiny’s audience, but it would be a much better use of time responding to people who’s jobs aren’t essentially farming hate against themselves.
