I was logged out of the mobile app but was that all.

EDIT: RSS feeds are broken as well, getting a 400 error.

Yes, I wasn’t trying to refute that. But Nintendo can still ruin your life fighting a losing battle if they wanted to. To me it’s just not worth the risk of putting your name on it.

You’re not wrong. I just think that if you believe there is a good chance of having legal problems for your project (I don’t see why they wouldn’t have thought that), then it makes the most sense to do it anonymously from the beginning to avoid getting sued. Yes they can still possibly offer you money, but it might not be worth revealing your identity at that point either, as any continued development could be assumed to be you, and then you must defend yourself in court if they sue, even if it was never you.

I would consider that cartoony as well. You might disagree but that’s ok. I’m not trying to pretend like my opinion is popular, it’s just how I personally feel.

I should have articulated my point better. I meant that this has been the “final straw” for some people for most of those steps along the way in the picture. If you look at the comments from then it’s often the same kind of thing you’re seeing right now. That’s why I mentioned selection bias, because there are actually lots of final straws happening over time, people just aren’t seeing those or weren’t around then.

I think if syncing of (at least) upstream histories between clones was done automatically, they might consider that more in-line with their definition of decentralized.

Also kudos to both of you for communicating your differences properly without resorting to arguments.

I feel like so much of the arguing and trolling nowadays is simply due to a difference in subjective definitions and people not being able to calmly communicate that with each other.

I don’t think any of the recommendations here are even close to what OP is asking for… QUIK from my understanding is just a replacement SMS app, it does not “sync messages to other devices” or allow you to send SMS messages via your phone from other devices, nor does it have a desktop/web version, all of which is what Message+ does. Pretty sure this requires a self-hosted server to do (or a third-party proprietary service like MightyText).

SmsMatrix, KDEConnect/GSConnect, Nextcloud Talk are some examples that will do this.

why now all of a sudden

It’s not new though, it has been happening for years. Selection bias might be skewing your view.

Attention and recognition.

Reminder that sites like israel.tv are still “illegal” to visit and all US ISPs are forced to block it, even though this directly contradicts Net Neutrality.

Imagine not developing a controversial emulator anonymously…

You know ratings are inherently subjective right?

I’ve hated every cartoony zelda ever made. I will die playing LttP over and over again.

that is typically how boycotts work yes.

Nestle isn’t poisoning their bottled water but some people still refuse to buy it.

exactly… it needs the vpn to even pass anything through… but the apps that don’t work with vpns… don’t work with vpns. as in, it detects the presence of an android vpn connection and refuses to work, it’s not related to what internet connection it actually uses, just that a system-controlled vpn is active on the device.

Bus 001 Device 059: ID 05ba:000a DigitalPersona, Inc. Fingerprint Reader

It shows up exactly the same for all the revisions though.

Thankfully the Framework Laptop fingerprint reader works.

I use the DigitalPersona 4500 with libfprint. Unfortunately, there are multiple revisions of the device with the same model number and only some of them work properly under Linux (different encryption method I believe). As far as I know this is not actually documented anywhere. Googling just shows a bunch of unresolved bug reports of people having no idea why it doesn’t work.

how on earth does that work? I thought it had to have an always-on VPN connection to do any filtering (or not)
