because bluesky has had a collective struggle session recently with the twitter posters migrating over and realising they're not actually being welcomed in open arms, usually when they out themselves with shit like genocide denial and transphobia.

just because the middle aged white guy with terrible opinions isn't catered to on platforms where the first users were ones fed up with middle aged white guys with terrible opinions, doesn't mean there's a problem, if anything it indicates federated social media is resistant to bullshit

idk it kinda looks cozy in there

mine is a pi 4 but basically the same, just shoved inside a box for protection

Using tinder like a ranked FPS is surely something

that's the only hope, because Nintendo knows that as long as it goes to court, they can bleed out the palworld developers with endless legal attrition. I'm sure they know that these patents aren't concrete; they're just an easy way to drag people to court who can't afford to fight back

Then not even sell the damn things

Sorta true. Nintendo has been monetizing emulation for years, ever since they started releasing "virtual console" games on the Wii web shop.

The Switch now offers NES/SNES games as a benefit of their online service, and has released a handful of games as standalone releases which are literally just nicely-packaged emulators (Mario Sunshine and Galaxy 1/2 bundle for example)

If emulation and "piracy" of old consoles is allowed, then Nintendo fears it won't be able to charge as much to repackage identical technology as full-price game releases.

Software parents, specifically game mechanic parents, are fucking insane. You should see the stuff Square Enix has patented following death stranding.

I get the whole "they just reskinned my game mechanics!!!" but also: I don't. It's like saying Go, Draughts, Chess, etc. are copies or "infringing" on one another for being a board game set on a grid with black/white pieces.

Even the idea of intellectual property is shaky for me but at least it's more clear cut whether you've directly copied or deceived someone with a similar design of a character.

Fascinating stuff. I'm glad we're entering this new era of Linux application compatibility! And all through the honorable work of developers who are doing stuff just for the fun of it.

I don't think speed is an issue. They're larger but all software loads dependencies from disk, flatpaks just have them bundled into a different location.

Snap did have some loading time issues but in terms of performance, I don't think there was much measurable difference.
