Fair use has nothing to do with this. Fair use has to do with distributing a copyrighted work. Emulators are (ideally) running completely original code that isn't copied from the company's source code. This is why, for example, PCSX2 has you use "your own" PS2 BIOS instead of including it.

The PS2 BIOS is copyrighted, so it's illegal to distribute it (and it's never been "fair use" to distribute it). But it's not illegal to do whatever you want with it (including dump it) as long as you own the console you're dumping it from and as long as you don't upload it to the internet for the purpose of distributing it to others. As far as the law is concerned, you bought the console and can do to it whatever you wish, provided you keep it to yourself and don't distribute it to others.

Games fall under the same category. You're free to dump your games and play them however you wish, provided you don't distribute the dumped game to other people. However, companies are also free to implement measures (DRM) to stop you from doing that as much as possible, likely because they know more people would illegally distribute them if they didn't.

I've already found two repos that successfully copied everything over before the main repo disappeared. I even built a working copy of Ryujinx from one of them. I'd probably find several more easily if I tried hard enough.

IIRC, they're legal as long as they don't explicitly distribute any of the copyright owner's own code or files. That's why, for example, PCSX2 requires you to dump "your own" PS2 BIOS and doesn't provide any itself. Because PCSX2 doesn't distribute the PS2 BIOS and because its way of talking to the BIOS doesn't copy the source code, that emulator is in the clear.

Some modern emulators (ex. Ryujinx) don't even need BIOS files (or whatever they're called on Switch) to be able to run games. But they also don't use Nintendo's original code to run the game.

Take all this with a grain of salt. I'm saying it from memory.

That depends on how many people are in the family and how many people are paying their fair share. Odds are that the children won't pay because, well, they're children. Teenagers might pay their way depending on if they have a job or not. And many households only have one primary source of income (with maybe a side job providing just a little extra). Which means most people would probably be footing the bill themselves for the whole family.

First, backup your uBlock Origin settings. Next, try resetting your uBlock Origin settings.

For TV, assuming you have an Android TV, you can use SmartTube.

For mobile, use ReVanced. It'll ask you to provide an APK of a specific version of the YouTube app, which you can download from here.

For PC, use Firefox and the uBlock Origin adblocker. I know you said you don't use Chrome, but I'll explain why people are saying not to use it specifically with uBlock Origin: Basically, with Chrome's update to Manifest v3, that'll greatly impact uBlock Origin and its ability to do its job.

All three options above also include the ability to enable/ install something called SponsorBlock. SponsorBlock uses community submissions to (based on the user's preference) either skip or give the option to skip portions of a video such as sponsorship segments or "like and subscribe" segments among other things.

Based on the description, it looks like it's designed to be able to block or allow 3rd party stuff on webpages. For example, it looks like, if you wanted to, you could block Twitter embeds from loading in a given news article. I imagine it can also block hidden 3rd party stuff, too, the kind that you only notice if you look at the network tab in the browser's console.

Unfortunately, nobody's gonna switch just because one person left unless it's a big influencer (which I am not). It'd take multiple people collectively leaving, and that's not gonna happen without something big. Fortunately, Twitter's current owner is, well... he'll likely cause that "something big" all on his own. Like how Reddit's API thing caused Lemmy to grow in size overnight.

When it does happen, I've already got accounts setup on a couple different places from the last time I thought the Great Twitter Exodus was finally happening.

Thinking on it more, I do remember the game pausing to load whenever I dove quickly into the depths.

Zelda is fair, I've heard good things about it.

Breath of the Wild actually had quite a lot of frame drops in the Lost Woods. I remember it was a topic of discussion for a while.

I don't remember for sure if Tears of the Kingdom suffered from the same issues or not.

Did it start happening when they switched the port to 64-bit?

Then have two options: block and mute. With mute, users won't know you've muted them, as you've described. With mute, the user would not be able to see your posts.
