I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted here.

Apple is the company that brought us:

  • Proprietary charging cables with DRM microchips.
  • The first flagship phones with the headphone jack removed.
  • The normalization of phones without expandable storage.
  • A phone where you buy the charger separately.
  • A walled-garden ecosystem without sideloading.
  • An OS that removed support for kernel extensions.
  • An authorized repair program that replaces instead of repairs.
  • A line of ATX-sized desktop PCs with storage modules that are only accepted if they're the same capacity as the ones you originally bought the PC with.

Their entire software and hardware is an affront to personal ownership, right to repair, and consumer rights.

What's next, leaded gas?

Actually, probably. It's a good way to make people grow up dumber and more irrational, and that's basically the target demographic of their party.

Or all of them, thanks to CGNAT.

Is prosperity supposed to be yellow and smell like asparagus?

With a couple of small changes, Send the Marines can be updated for 2025 standards.

What with President TACO practicing escalato on the Los Angeles
And then the ICE-est Crisis on top of that
It has been a nervous year
And people have begun to feel like a Christian Scientist with appendicitis

Fortunately, in times of crisis like this
America always has its number one instrument of diplomacy to fall back on
Here's a song about it

When someone makes a move
Of which we don't approve
Who is it that always intervenes?
U.N. and O.A.S
They have their place, I guess
But first - send the Marines

We'll send them all we've got
John Wayne and Randolph Scott
Remember those exciting fighting scenes?
~~To the shores of Tripoli~~
~~But not to Mississippoli~~
What do we do? We send the Marines!

For might makes right
And till they've seen the light
They've got to be protected
All their rights respected
So somebody we dislike can stay elected

Members of the corps
All hate the thought of war
They'd rather kill them off by peaceful means
Stop calling it aggression

Ooh, we hate that expression!
We only want the world to know
That we support the status quo
They love us everywhere we go
So when in doubt
Send the Marines!

Fire doesn't discriminate, but ICE totally does!

The good old dehu-Manosphere. Malignant, cancerous trash run by grifters and signal boosted by insecure mysognists.

Edit: I see we have some fans of Joe Rogaine, Jordan Small-Peterson, and or Andrew T-hate on here.

Preventing admission of anyone who undermines the domestic tranquility of the United States.

Any reasonable interpretation of this means that he just gave the order to keep himself from returning.

It would have been easier to just say:

"That's coming with the update that adds Call of Duty and Fortnite into the game."

This means either them or more junior developers will be brought in as glorified prompt engineers.

Oh, sweet summer child. It's not going to be junior developers; they still have self-worth. An un(der)paid intern or outsourced contractors, however? They're fine working for scraps and no health insurance.

Awh, someone's upset that his little Kings Parade was outshined by No Kings protests and throwing a tantrum.

 

Modlog, which includes a site ban—something only admins can do.

The community bans also include communities that aren't moderated by any instance admins, and some that are only moderated by a single person who likely isn't aware of actions taken under their community's name.

 

Once one company gets away with it, the rest follow.

 

The Citra website has been replaced with the same statement made on the Yuzu website, and the GitHub repository is now gone as well.


Other build dependency repos taken down with it:

This also includes ceasing development and destroying their copies of the code.

The GitHub repo page for Yuzu now returns a 404, as well. The website is still up, though.

The GitHub repo page for Yuzu now returns a 404, as well. In addition, the repo for the Citra 3DS emulator was also taken down.

As of at least 23:30 UTC, Yuzu's website and Citra's website have been replaced with a statement about their discontinuation.

There is also an active Reddit thread about this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/1b6gtb5/

 

An ad that showed up as I was browsing through the news. Bloody ridiculous...

 

You may know it as Space Melody by Luna Park or as ResuRection by ППК (English: PPK), but the original melody was composed by Eduard Artemyev for the 1979 Soviet film Siberiade. The original name of the song, as titled in the movie's soundtrack release, is la mort du héroes (the death of heroes, if my French is correct).

Here's a link to the original composition, if you're curious.
