Even the Switch is pretty standard phone hardware

There are PS2 that had this function removed?

Or using the old hardware like the PlayStation 3 BC for instance, they literally had the PS2 hardware in the PS3 to handle BC.

And the PS2 likewise literally had PS1 hardware to handle BC.

Minetest. The game is way more open and customisable, and you can add in whatever rulesets you like.

To be more specific, you can, it’s just an esoteric piece of shit mechanism that’s way more complicated than it needs to be.

and the government would have to explain precisely why they decided to ban all Google services over a song about freedom.

They wouldn’t explain shit. This is an authoritarian government we’re talking about; they have near total control of what information gets to their populace.

More likely they’d just accuse Google of supporting terrorism, and make a show of raiding their offices and jailing their local executives.

I don’t think the people in charge would last long if that happened, considering how integral Google’s services are to many people’s lives.

This is China we’re talking about. Chinese equivalents to nearly every big tech service are more than present and accounted for, even often preferred by the local populace. Hong Kong is a little different, but the CCP still exerts near total control there.

It is literally either follow this law or cease operations here. Both would end in the song being blocked anyway.

Mind you, I wish we were that level of strict when it came to our data privacy laws.

Until they make the wrong call and it bites them on the ass.

Yeah but they’re called talent for a reason. The senior talent are generally better than the juniors at what they do.

That’s unusually really cool of them! Mad props!

I mean personally I think it’s closer to those point and click adventure games, just shrunk down to be appropriate for a handheld of the day

Android’s Do Not Disturb feature is also like this. You only get notifications from calls, alarms and apps you specifically allow.

Then give them a URL link to a good instance.

Do you really expect Threads to provide a fair, uncompromised experience of the Fediverse when it’s actively against their interests to do so?

Right now, sure. Will that always be the case?

It ain’t about people they don’t like, it’s about a powerful corporation known to be abusive, psychologically manipulative and unafraid to break laws so long as it benefits them.

You wouldn’t want such an entity under your roof either

I don’t see why we can’t take a look at it now. No one cares about GG anymore, and IGN has practically become the punching bag of the industry for their… interesting choices

Here’s the thing though, KIA was only created after the banwaves and mass-deletions that happened across all social media (even 4chan). KiA was created long after everything started kicking off.

Not really. It was initially called the Quinnspiracy, after Zoe Quinn, author of Depression Quest, an e-choose-your-own-adventure-book that got some coverage in videogame journals.

Shit blew up when her ex made massive accusations about sleeping with the journalists in question. Then some actor coined the term Gamergate, and their targets expanded to then-journalist Anita Sarkeesian (I think she works more as a DEI advisor now) and indie game developer Brianna Wu.

Make no mistake, the games journalism industry was not spotless, far from it. But the rampant misogyny in Gamergate cannot be ignored.

I call them id-style shooters myself, but there is a bit of word play I like in the term ‘boomer shooter’. On top of referencing the age of the audience when they first arrived (albeit incorrectly), it is also a reference to the fact that the optimal strategy for these games is simply to blow things the fuck up. There is very little tactical play beyond what weapons to use for a given situation, and these games really love their explosive barrels and rocket launchers.

Linux Foundation - Linux is GPL and would be massively, negatively affected by an ability to suddenly un-GPL code

Google - their consumer OSes (Android and ChromeOS) use Linux as their base, not to mention their servers are almost entirely Linux.

IBM/Red Hat - RedHat is a billion dollar company specialising in providing Linux OSes.

Microsoft - surprising I know, but a lot of their internal and cloud stuff uses GPL code, including Linux.

Oracle - they ship a lot of GPL code, including a Linux distro.

EFF - The ability to un-GPL code would have catastrophic consequences on the internet, and this will be an issue they will weigh in on.

Apple - their servers don’t run on macOS.

And just about any company you can think of with a Linux server.

I mention Linux a lot, but that is because it can’t be understated how important it is in our global infrastructure. Linux is as much GPL as Yuzu, so if code can be retroactively un-GPL’ed from Yuzu, it can be done with one of the most important software projects in the world.
