- Comment on Linus Torvalds and Bill Gates Meet for the First Time Ever 1 week ago:
You’re being obtuse. The nuance here is that Bill Gates being.a bad person and his charity org having done some good in the world are facts that are not necessarily dependent on each other. That’s all. The fact that Gates might be using his org to prop his image is also a consequence of his character, and doesn’t take away from the good the charity has done. Or would you rather the charity didn’t exist at all just so your thirst for consistency would be appeased, all the while people would be dying?

Same. At this point I think he probably did it more to indulge those who wanted that to happen than actually wanting or caring about it.

Not quite “steal”, but they removed license and attribution information, which is a no-no and license infringement for sure.
But yeah, this is all of no consequence.

At its peak, sure. But I mean, how many people do you know who still have a Wii and actually uses it? I happen to have one and it’s actually plugged into my TV, but even I rarely play it.
I keep tabs from afar, and the only activity I can see in the homebrew scene is the revival of some online games (by bring up custom/reverse-enginnered serves + patching the games, e.g. Mario Kart, Call of Duty Black Ops, etc.), but other than that, the homebrew scene on the Wii is mostly dead.

It hasn’t received an official release in almost 10 years, so who cares. It probably has been feature complete longer than that, on a console that at this point is almost twice as old with a minuscule community.
