- Comment on Why are people preferring Blue Sky over Mastodon? 1 day ago:
Interest in hobbies related to commercial brands (following sports, movie franchises, etc.)
When you even mention that you’d like to follow brand accounts, people start shouting at you how commercial scum needs to be banned/defederated.
Of course people move to platforms where their interests are represented.
- Comment on REPORT: Arm is sensationally canceling the license that allowed Qualcomm to make Snapdragon chips which power everything from Microsoft's Copilot+ PCs to Samsung's Galaxy smartphones and tablets 3 weeks ago:
They cannot veto it. The patents for x86-64 and SSE2 lapse next year. The only say they have is on extension newer than these two.
- Comment on REPORT: Arm is sensationally canceling the license that allowed Qualcomm to make Snapdragon chips which power everything from Microsoft's Copilot+ PCs to Samsung's Galaxy smartphones and tablets 3 weeks ago:
X64 doesn’t exist. Microsoft used the label for Windows for a while to distinguish from IA64 (Itanium) and 32bit x86 editions of Windows but these days Microsoft moved mostly away from those labels and only uses them when talking about ARM.

It could be a front-end but you really shouldn’t just enter your credential willy nilly all over the place.
- Comment on X's controversial changes to blocking and AI training saw half a million users leave for rival Bluesky in just a single day 4 weeks ago:
Bluesky is the promise of Mastodon with none of the failsafes of Mastodon.

You replied to a comment referencing the open source definition and it’s clear you did never read it.
- Comment on draw.io no longer free and open source software since August 27, 2024 4 weeks ago:
Atlassian could sell extensions, though, they would just need to comply with the AGPL. The AGPL means that the entire platform must comply with the AGPL, so proprietary platforms couldn’t use it but in a fair “applies to everyone the same” and not “we don’t like you individually” kind of way.
- Comment on draw.io no longer free and open source software since August 27, 2024 4 weeks ago:
How is that not open source?
Google “open source definition” and read for yourself.
- Comment on draw.io no longer free and open source software since August 27, 2024 4 weeks ago:
Its still totally open source
No, it’s not. Those restrictions are against the open source definition.

Was defaulted on for me (EU)
Not a lawyer but I don’t think this silent opt-in is legal.
- Comment on Tencent, Guillemot Family Said to Consider Buyout of Ubisoft 1 month ago:
Maybe Ubisoft should for once make a good game (OK, Rayman Raving Rabbids for Wii was a fun romp for a bit). I’m constantly baffled how a company this shitty that’s constantly making super derivative games got so big in the first place.

So who gets to pick what’s a lawful request and criminal activity?
Probably Telegram themselves. Durov was forced into exile by Putin.
- Comment on Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games 1 month ago:
In the same stroke though the onus to supply backing to any given position or assertion is on the one claiming facts.
Valve supporting gaming on Linux is common knowledge here. For very niche knowledge or hard to google terms, I’d agree but there’s a limit. One cannot expect to cite sources for every single bit of common knowledge.
This one is easily found out through a simple search and all but burden of proof isn’t on the one asking for proof
The amount of work required to ask for a source is similar to googling it directly, maybe asking is even more work because usually selecting the claim and then right-click --> “Search web for XYZ” works just fine.

- Comment on Ryujinx emulator GitHub repository currently down 1 month ago:
Nintendo wouldn’t be able to go after him for like DMCA type route.
Old school suing about “aiding and abetting” piracy until the defendant has no money left to pay lawyers works pretty much all over the world.
- Comment on Ryujinx emulator GitHub repository currently down 1 month ago:
It’s my understanding that the creator took a payout.
AFAIK the only statement so far is “agreement” and that that can also mean a legally binding document to take down Ryujinx and never again develop Nintendo emulators or get sued to the moon and back, ie. “sign here of financial ruin”.
- Comment on Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games 1 month ago:
it’s not my turn to Google things
It always it. That’s basic media savviness. Asking for things that take 5 secs to google is rude.

I thought Japan was all about Face. I guess Nintendo is the exception?
face, farce.
- Comment on Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games 1 month ago:
Well I asked for a source
I’m not AwesomeLowlander but you asked for something that can be googled in literally 5 to 10 seconds:
- Comment on Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games 1 month ago:
My Steam Deck has a 512GiB SD card full of legally backed up games
FTFY 😁
- Comment on Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games 1 month ago:
This isn’t a good argument, right?
The topic is Nintendo who make a handheld console and unless CD Project make a GOGBoy with a bespoke SteamOS-like “console OS”, yet another storefront for Windows PCs is hardly an actual alternative.
I also though of them because they recently improved their subscriber agreement (apparently not for selfless reasons but still an improvement esp. in the light of what Nintendo is currently doing).
- Comment on Terroristic threats allowed on lemmy.ml!?! 1 month ago:
I’d say questions regarding the leanings of specific instances are legitimate and those have been answered but questions regarding what constitutes terrorism and the motivations of fighters in armed conflicts are out of scope for this community. This is just a community about the Fediverse on Lemmy World, we don’t arbitrate moderation disagreements here.
- Comment on Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games 1 month ago:
Steam takes a lot of money for their service, which is a problem.
They take the same amount of money as other console makers and the store cut is completely unrelated to what Nintendo’s lawyers do which is the actual topic here.
- Comment on Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games 1 month ago:
We won’t have much choices left it seems
www.steamdeck.com is a good one.
- Comment on Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games 1 month ago:
My best guess would be that they’re trying to get ahead of the recompiler scene before it catches a bigger foothold.
If AI-generating images from copyrighted training material is legal, then generating source code from copyrighted binary code is as well.
