TempleOS is NOT linux

This is clearly bad press, everyone reading this gets negative thoughts about Nintendo. We are all talking about how bad they are RIGHT NOW.

Nintendo would absolutely lose that legal battle. It's well established that emulation is not a crime and nor is the development of emulators.

This kind of thing often has the opposite of the intended effect. People then host mirrors of the original repo, and the press brings more developers to the project.

This sort of action by Nintendo and other companies is so short sighted. Bad press, a legal battle they couldn't actually win if it went to court, increased attention on the thing they're trying to hinder, etc. Its a stupid decision made by business people who don't know anything about tech, and who are disincentivized to care about the long term health of their brand.

I litterally had not heard of the emulator until now. Maybe I'll have to compile it and give it a spin now.

You can easily mirror GitHub to some other repo

This is legitimately feasible with a 3d printed stencil

Although the chances of me buying a Ford are extremely small, the odds of me getting a car with ads are 0%

For the life of me, I can't see how this isn't human trafficking. The migrants are generally NOT told where they're going, or they're straight up lied to. Anyone who organized something like this should go to prison for human trafficking.

Also if you look at the economics of this action, you're exporting valuable laborers, consumers, and future census population to your rival states. Dumb move.

"This assassin missed and hit all of us."

This is such an elegant and iconic line. History will view that as the truth.

My understanding of how this works is that that left one is real accounts making real comments, at least in the majority.

Then when the link gets reposted, either by a bot or naturally, potentially depending on the title, the bots scrape the old comments and post them.

It's content farming. And Reddit is probably okay with this.

They get 100% of the tip, it's a legal requirement. The scummy part is the company does this to give you the opportunity NOT to tip, and therefore subsidize the food for shitty people.

Just in case, the few times I have ordered food, I put a dollar or two tip in the app, and add a note saying I'll give them a cash tip. Usually I'll give them a 2-4 Dollars more depending. If you're using these services you need to tip, that's how they make their livelyhood and feed their families.

It's a scummy business, and you should definitely try to avoid using it unless it's your only option for some reason. Your order will probably be at least $30, but do you know how much spaghetti you can make with $30??

Report spam and block. They've lost emailing privileges.

This is so dumb, what is he thinking? What's the angle?

Dumbness aside, Twitter is only usable if you block all of the blue check spammers who add nothing to any discussion.

Maybe he's doing it so you can't block blue checks? But it still doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
