Yep, and Nintendo still fixes them for free AFAIK.

I was always just confused as to why Solo had a partner.

I was wondering what Virgin had to do with Sonic… it has their London address under the Sega logo.

Yuzu fucked up. This is about more than the decryption. Yuzu’s actions (copypasta from a fine redditor):

• Massive patreon, to the point it has an LLC set to manage the money flow
• Early access releases are effectively SOLD, they fucked around with manifest/build files, abused GPL to go after some forks back when they were Citra, attacked other forks/emulators then benefitted from their work and even replicated their practices (like CEMU’s patreon), etc
• Actively targets Switch competitors (Steam Deck, Android), to the point Valve once included it in a marketing reel
• Its presence on the OFFICIAL Android play store rather than an apk competes with Nintendo’s own Android games (undermining both those and the Switch)
• Unauthorized use of Nintendo imagery
• Extensive telemetry, itself juicy data that could be sold for advertisers, on top of Nintendo’s own built-in telemetry that’s also sent
• Patreon marketing is heavily focused on games that broke street day release date, and even when they show some “restraint” it’s just a release day post how much better the game runs on a platform that’s not the Nintendo Switch, in the same launch period where most sales happen
• Progress reports timed suspiciously close to major Nintendo first-party releases
• ATTEMPTED to make a competitor to the Switch Online service, using files from an external preservation group, and it would have been a PAID service, and the subscription MORE EXPENSIVE than Nintendo’s actual service (it was $60 something) despite smaller compatibility, for games still online, as a CLOSED-SOURCE FORK of a GPL PROJECT so that players don’t actually set up their own custom servers to avoid paying Yuzu’s pittance. When there was backlash, they REMOVED all traces of online emulation after they couldn’t profit off it.

I’m looking in to this, thank you!

Edit: Molly (UnifiedPush) isn’t something I can reasonably expect friends and family to set up.

Please note that to receive notifications, you will need to set up a server to run MollySocket, available on https://github.com/mollyim/mollysocket.

You need the right flavor of Molly to use UnifiedPush: https://github.com/mollyim/mollyim-android-unifiedpush. You can install MollySocket via: Docker/Podman: docker pull ghcr.io/mollyim/mollysocket:latest Crates.io: cargo install mollysocket (see INSTALL.md for the setup) Direct download: https://github.com/mollyim/mollysocket/releases (see INSTALL.md for the setup) A distributor app (easiest is ntfy) You can optionally install your own push server like ntfy or NextPush. For beginners, you can use a free service like ntfy.sh (do consider donating if you have the means).

At some point, Android is reading the message to generate the quick replies that were showing in the notification. They’re content-aware and this is not a function of Signal; if someone sent me a question, there were “yes” and “no” quick replies. If someone sent that they were going to be late, there were quick replies like “That’s OK”, etc.

With Signal’s default settings, Google reads your Signal messages when they come in through push notifications.

Correct me if I’m wrong.

Edit: For those in doubt, last year, I started seeing content-aware auto-reply options in my Signal message notifications; that is not a function of Signal, but a function of Google’s Android. One could escape it by using a de-Googled Android like Lineage or Graphene, or by hiding the message content (which is not the Signal default) and would surely hurt Signal’s adoption, when you have to unlock the app to read each message.

“Off course!” (I want to continue in the Battle Square)

Again?!

I get your joke, but it’s even cheaper than a “Raspberry Pi”. Pi Pico, one RP2040 chip, that’s basically RPi’s new version of a Teensy. I just installed one in my GameCube to defeat its “BIOS” and boot from micro SD card :P

I consider Linux Mint Debian Edition to be the starter distro that Ubuntu was, >10 years ago.

You’re welcome. 😂 I think I first found this in the days of dial-up, she’s probably in her 50s by now, if she hasn’t died of cheese-curl-induced diverticulitis or something.

Agreed. I dual-booted years ago; start menu ads made me wipe the Windows, and Edging their way into people’s computers made me realize how meaningless the antitrust lawsuit was.

It’s a slow march toward subscription OS and when it’s their computer, people probably won’t be able to use the nice one-click registry hacks to remove the ads and spyware.

If there’s anything particular about your Linux OS that you don’t like, there’s likely a different distro that does it the way you want, or dig in and learn how to change it.

You can turn off Microsoft’s ads, browser nagging, and data faucet, but as long as you are dependent on them for Windows Updates, that gives them an opportunity to undo your fixes and turn them back on.

FOSS has a similar problem in which the program author can sell out to a less-friendly entity, and when you update the software it starts misbehaving (see Audacity, Simple Mobile Tools, etc.)

This is why I use Debian stable branch. Disadvantages: outdated software (but still get security updates) Advantages: outdated software (but still get security updates) 😅

Can it be a bath instead of a shower?

Oof. The real Feeder is a FOSS Android app, get it on F-Droid.

On PC, there are two Firefox plugins, one to bring back “live bookmarks” (RSS feeds), and one to bring back the radio-waves-like icon in the address bar of sites with RSS feeds available. Let me check…

Edit: It’s just one plugin, Livemarks. If you put the bookmark it creates into the bookmarks toolbar, then it becomes a drop-down menu of the headlines/RSS items. 👍

Wisconsin, too.
