Every few months a news story: “Google workers in revolt over XYZ”. Then nothing changes. Not really a worker’s revolt then.

Btw, you linked to the lemm.ee post instead of https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/10/05/xi-and-mao-replace-jesus-and-mary-in-chinese-churches/ directly. You can edit your post and change the URL.

thanks, I didn’t run into a paywall on the article but good to have backups.

That’s funny. The first time I opened the link I got a cutoff version of the article and it told me to make an account (which I then tried to remove with an ad blocker and the thing was called a paywal internally but the article stayed cut off), Now the second time, the message is gone.

So yeah, that may be just a random message shown on occasion.

This thread transformed from being about a serious issue on the fediverse into a pile of accusations on a personal level. I don’t see this thread becoming any more civilized the way the comments are spiraling downwards. I’m keeping the post up because, as I said, this is a serious issue, but I don’t think keeping the thread unlocked is doing any good.

Mario & Rabbids Kingdom Battle was a rare gem from Ubi.

You’re probably right (I never played it). Completely forgot about it.

Was defaulted on for me (EU)

Not a lawyer but I don’t think this silent opt-in is legal.

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.

Off by default for me (EU)

Not anymore:

So who gets to pick what’s a lawful request and criminal activity?

Probably Telegram themselves. Durov was forced into exile by Putin.

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.

Rule 2: Only tech related content.

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.

Removed by mod

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 or financial ruin”.

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.

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:

My Steam Deck has a 512GiB SD card full of legally backed up games

FTFY 😁
