- Comment on Could you imagine a Nintendo title being advertised like this today? (Conker's Bad Fur Day, 2001) 3 weeks ago:
Nintendo famously changed their mind when Mortal Kombat 1 sold better on Genesis/Mega Drive than Super Nintendo.
- Comment on Could you imagine a Nintendo title being advertised like this today? (Conker's Bad Fur Day, 2001) 3 weeks ago:
Doesn’t change the fact that Nintendo only owned a minority share and that this specific game was not published by Nintendo. They had access to the development tools already, so it was no special treatment for Conker.
- Comment on Could you imagine a Nintendo title being advertised like this today? (Conker's Bad Fur Day, 2001) 3 weeks ago:
Even back then this kind of advertisement (and game) was an anomaly coming from Nintendo.
Yeah. One reason being that this wasn’t a Nintendo game. It was a Rare/THQ game. Nintendo didn’t publish this.

Hard pass.
It was a pretty boring keynote anyway.

WTF is Australia doing? Aren’t they aware they have plenty of sunshine and an insanely long shoreline?
- Comment on Germany hits 62.7% renewables in 2024 energy mix, with solar contributing 14% 4 weeks ago:
Wasn’t Germany that weird one where ‘gas’ was labeled as ‘renewable’?
Biogas from decomposition is renewable. That definition is accepted internationally.
Doesn’t mean it’s ecological. There’s a difference.

From the point of view from BSD.cafe I assume Linuxing weather is bad, right?
- Comment on Longtime buddy of mine just got a gaming PC. What games would make up a good "welcome to PC" care package? 4 weeks ago:
The Sonic Racing games are the best counterpart to Mario Kart available on PC. Sonic Racing Transformed is the best of the 3 games (and bundles the very first game) but sometimes gets confused when switching up controllers, so you must delete the config file, so maybe because of that not the best introduction to PC. Team Sonic Racing is a bit less good but that input bug is gone.
- Comment on CryZENx Unveils 30-Minute Zelda Ocarina of Time Preview 4 weeks ago:
How have Nintendo’s lawyers not shut this down yet?
They’re never the quickest and usually only act if they learn of something from the media. That said, by asking for money via Patreon, the developer is also asking to get sued.
How come these people never learn?

“Unpolitical” Russians?
- Comment on Bluesky CEO Jay Graber is reshaping social media, but advertising isn't off the table 1 month ago:
Why would the users participate in moderating? That’s the job of the commercial platform holder.

- Comment on Why are people preferring Blue Sky over Mastodon? 2 months 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 months 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 months 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 3 months ago:
Bluesky is the promise of Mastodon with none of the failsafes of Mastodon.

- Comment on draw.io no longer free and open source software since August 27, 2024 3 months ago:
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 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months ago:
Its still totally open source
No, it’s not. Those restrictions are against the open source definition.

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 3 months 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.

Probably Telegram themselves. Durov was forced into exile by Putin.
- Comment on Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games 3 months 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.
