Lol at least it wasn't like that time they tried to sue people in Australia for that reason, because Nintendo forgot about time zones...

It's also Hilario that they'd sue somebody for free advertising of their game. Must be a shit title if they don't want people to see it...

I actually really enjoy GIMP as an alternative to Photoshop. My biggest problem with it is that Photoshop keybinds are muscle memory, and for whatever reason GIMP has everything totally different so I almost always end up having to hunt down what I'm after.

I've heard there are ways to get it 1:1 but I've never been able to figure that out. Admittedly, I haven't looked too hard either.

Implying they have their own emulator and it's not just running retroarch or something

I used to like Ubuntu, but I got so sick for not being able to do things due to packages being out of date, and/or snaps getting in the way.

I ditched it for arch and I'm so much happier

uBlock, Revanced, and yt-dlp still 100% free lol

Content creators need to consider looking into alternative platforms though. Seems like YouTube is hellbent on self destruction.

They nailed the retro-futurism aesthetic with that window UI

Shucks... Maybe if the college didn't rob the students blind on tuition, and the publishers not rob the students blind on books, maybe they could afford to pay for software licenses. 🤷‍♂️

If the publishers win, I hope every book they publish as long as they exist gets torrented into oblivion leading authors to ditch them in favour of self publishing

Right? This dude was probably just hosting all of the content that the platforms removed over the years lol

It really just seems like it proves that the applicant is able to work in an environment where everything is already pre-installed and running with no need to learn basic troubleshooting, and that they were able to sit through a few years of focusing on specific aspects of a textbook and writing incredibly mundane programs... and quite possibly lack the ability to learn on their own and think outside of the box...

Interviews and testing seem like they would be a far better way to vet applicants
