Zangoose,

Pretty sure the dev mentioned they were going to release the source code as well, so it won’t really be proprietary anymore. Either way I still prefer melonDS but at least there are options

    Zangoose,

    I can tell this is going well for you even without downvotes federated to my instance. There might not have been an actual court case, but Yuzu just got pulled for offering a way to break the switch’s encryption keys, not just because they profited. It pretty directly implicates Ryujinx and any other emulator that could show up just by the nature of the settlement.

    It also effectively killed off the only reliable 3DS emulator. Sure Yuzu and Citra are gone, but Panda3ds (the only other 3ds emulator with compatibility even close to Citra’s) is also screwed over because it relied on the same ARM translation layer that Citra/Yuzu used. Forks might show up, but quite frankly I doubt any of them will be seriously maintained because of the crazy complexity required to make an emulator along with the newly established risk of doing so. This isn’t another Tachiyomi situation where a bunch of forks will pop up immediately.

    Zangoose,

    They made money on their patreon and Nintendo was going to go after the fact that they had a crazy increase in patreon subscriptions in May 2023 because the early-access builds worked with Zelda ToTK before it came out.

    Apple (slrpnk.net)

    I don’t care if anyone has a Xiaomi, Oneplus, Samsung, etc. Each brand is using a modified version of Android, and they chose to be compatible with each other. But for example the “blue vs green bubble” drama is a thing specifically because of Apple locking their unsuspecting users into a closed ecosystem. And it sure...

    Zangoose,

    As an Android user, I’ll offer my side to this:

    If I had a dollar for every time a friend or family member asked, “Why don’t you just get an iPhone?” I could probably buy the newest iPhone. Added pain that I’m Gen Z in the US where something like 80-90% of people my age use an iPhone.

    I swear most of the time people treat having an Android phone as something that needs some sort of defense because they think there’s no reason anyone would possibly consider buying anything other than an iPhone.

    Zangoose, (edited )

    To your first point, it isn’t really an “offer.” I don’t think I’ve ever complained about having an Android phone, because I’ve genuinely liked my Android phones way more than my old iPhone. It pretty commonly comes up whenever communication is involved though because I end up being blamed for not having FaceTime, iMessage, etc. even though most of those problems come from Apple only supporting a messaging standard from the early 90s with Android phones.

    To your second point, there are memes though. They’re probably not as common on here because the demographic that uses lemmy (or even Reddit to some degree) is more likely to have an Android phone for various reasons. Look up “android camera meme” if you want a clear example of something that usually isn’t even true.

    I’m not going to go after anyone for using an Apple product, because I can see why someone would use one over Android. But Apple tends to attract people that will blindly defend their bad decisions (no headphones jack, no charger, slow refresh-rate screens on everything but the $1000 model, etc.).

    This isn’t to say there aren’t similar people defending companies like Samsung, Google, etc. Apple just attracts these people at a whole different level. This meme is obviously hyperbole but to be fair you could make this meme about any obnoxious fan group and it would be just as true.

    Edit: fixed a grammar mistake, clarified a sentence with italics

    Zangoose,

    Their 7 (?) years of software support is kind of misleading to me because they stop getting chip-level security updates after something like 3-4 years due to the specific Qualcomm chip they use. Not to mention the chip is on the slower side of today’s phones, let alone phones 7 years from now.

    I can see how others might be fine with that though, just my 2 cents.

    Zangoose,

    Which costs an additional $100/yr for something that’s free on any other platform.

    Zangoose,

    No, you didn’t, or at least not at this level.

    Sure, TV ads and even some old games had ads which were targeted to specific demographics (their audience), but modern digital ads are targeted to vulnerabilities of specific individuals (using location, search, purchase history, etc.). They’re also shown much more often and baked into products which are specifically designed to target your subconscious psychology (using nudging, gamification, etc.) so you use them more.

    The kind of data required for the level of ad targeting done now did not exist more than maybe 15-20 years ago.

    Zangoose,

    I agree with your point but imo the drama doesn’t even just come from high school kids. I’m a year away from graduating undergrad and still wondering when (or if) people are going to grow up about it. Even then, full grown adults do it about as often as people my age in my experience. Honestly some of the worst offenders when it comes to green bubble shaming have been my family members on the older side who think everyone should just get an iPhone and refuse to use anything other than iMessage.

    Zangoose,

    Obviously every generation has its struggles, but I was never disagreeing with that. If you treat this as “just another generational problem,” you are fundamentally missing the point. It’s as you say, a whole different set of problems.

    Micro targeted ads are hard to ignore because most of the time they’re influencing our subconscious state. This isn’t just another generational issue we’re facing, it’s fundamentally shaping the way people look at the world without them even being aware of it. It’s not limited to just the current generation, because everyone interacts with technology. However, targeting inner psychology will obviously impact people with less developed brains more than it will impact adults, and we’re beginning to see the effects of that already with Gen Z.

    Zangoose,

    I always knew those candies as jawbreakers (should be self-explanatory based on the above description) so it might be also be a regional/generational thing

    Zangoose,

    I agree with this in general, and wanted to add onto it a bit:

    I’m Atheist but I honestly couldn’t care less what others believe in. If believing in a god or an afterlife helps you get through your life easier, than why not? Why try to tell someone else what religious or cultural belief is right or wrong when we’re all just making our best guesses anyway?

    Believe in whatever afterlife you want, so long as that belief doesn’t make everyone else’s lives worse. The moment you start trying to push religion and culture onto people, you’re no better than any other form of cultural imperialism.

    Zangoose, (edited )

    Western atheism and antitheism often exist as reactions to Christianity on a factual or ethical basis, while remaining within a Christian cultural and moral context. Historically, Christians and atheists have worked together to attack other religions, such as in the case of the stolen generations in Australia or the cult panic in America.

    You brought in atheism right here though??

    Edit: fix formatting

    Zangoose,

    Your sample size is 1. Sure, you can get a phone that won’t have battery swelling after 5-10 years. My old Samsung S9+ doesn’t have any swelling yet, and I’ve had it since around when it came out in 2018. Whether or not swelling happens to any given phone is more or less down to luck. You might want to avoid Samsung phones to be safe though because there was that whole battery swelling issue with almost every phone from the S20 downwards a few years ago. Other than that I don’t think there’s much of a difference*

    *Probably something to look for reports/statistics on though

    Zangoose,

    This uhhh… Didn’t age well :(

    Zangoose, (edited )

    True, I’m more worried about Citra since interest has kind of died down for that project. I’m kind of hoping some forks show up soon that get popular enough to be put onto a package manager since there aren’t many alternatives with the same compatibility/performance (from what I can tell Panda3ds isn’t very stable yet)

    Zangoose,

    I’m sad my favorite gen is being skipped, I was really hoping for a legends Kyurem game that went into the idea of the original dragon. Legends Z-A still looks pretty interesting though.

    Zangoose,

    You’ll have to settle for naming your child after one of their public keys, but then your child will only be able to talk to them.

    Zangoose,

    Note that a few of these are misleading…

    AngularJS no longer exists because the library switched to TypeScript (which can be used with JavaScript code) and is now just called Angular. For the non-developers, TypeScript and JavaScript are mostly cross-compatible, and having a typing system makes way more sense for what Angular tries to accomplish. They didn’t actually kill the project.

    The Google Duo app also got more or less facelifted into Google Meet, so it’s not like it’s actually dead.

    Those things being said, the amount of things on that list is pretty crazy. Especially the ones that were straight up canceled and not rebranded/replaced.

    Zangoose,

    Could also be rust (no parens on ifs there either), kind of hard to tell with just an if statement and some function calls

    Zangoose,

    Oh true I didn’t realize the semicolons were missing (that’s what the compiler errors are for)

    Zangoose,

    This sounds like a problem that would be covered in an algorithms class.

    Something something knapsack problem, dynamic programming, something something

    Zangoose,

    Hi, it’s me, the intern refactoring the spaghetti .NET core backend. I’m not in a basement though. AMA

    Zangoose,

    I’m fine with a menu being there, just give me the option to make it go away by selecting a default or something.

    That single problem makes dolphin unusable for me because there isn’t a basic setting to make it behave like basically every other graphical file manager on any operating system.
