Nintendo has been at it for the last 30 years, here are landmark lawsuites lists, from my memory everything relevant has been listed.

And there are a few points why they are so active, first and foremost the IP law in Japan, which says (paraphrased) that IP that is not defended is fair game for everyone; then there is the technological fact that emulation of their systems is pretty easy performancewise nowadays in comparison to the naughts; and then there is the thing that if the few titles that are exclusives to nintendos system can easily played on other platforms (where they don’t see a dime), they will not be able to sell their hardware and therefore no games that are available on other platforms. Also, they have always stepped up their game when a new hardware generation comes out - can’t have people emulating the old platform when there’s new stuff to buy, ya see?

I await the day when someone at nintendo starts using his calculator and recognizes that selling their back catalogue games at 7,99 per game on pc and 10 bucks on all the other platforms would ensure a steady flow of income for much needed innovation; the switch is nice, but i can’t see where the switch 2 is a product that shows enough difference to the switch1 for massive sales.

nah, it’s only if you are to lazy to learn. i bet i can play more games on a budget pc than on a ps5, even with integrated graphics nowadays, because PC’s have a back catalogue from the last 4 decades, and thats before getting into emulation of classic consoles like NES, Megadrive and a lot more platforms.

Consoles are just good for switching your brain off, which is a valid reason to get one. But the price of 5 console games gives you enough wiggle room to get a decent graphics card which will run pretty much everything you want, and it will do so for the forseeable future.

and don’t forget repairability - i recently broke the digitizer of my steam deck, i just went to ifixit and ordered a new one for 100€. you can repair everything on that thing with a simple screwdriver, which is whack

Extra cursed: I am currently testing Orbit, the LLM stuff Mozilla is offering where you can process stuff locally. This video transcript makes me unsure if i should keep it to laugh my ass off or uninstall it because it’s a waste of system ressources:

“The speaker in the transcript references a song with the repeated phrase “Music” throughout. They express their familiarity with the people and settings in the song, using descriptive language such as “saucy places” and “sainted chief.” The speaker also mentions feeling triggered and salty, and expresses difficulty in joining in when people are being excessive. They reminisce about their past, mentioning a churchy school environment and feeling dragged. The speaker also uses the phrase “glow up” to describe personal growth, and again mentions the difficulty in keeping up with those who are “extra.” The speaker also references the song’s location and the concept of a “made world.” Overall, the speaker is expressing their connection to and thoughts on a particular song and its lyrics.”

I disagree on the premise that a rock cannot be used for much. I mean, the available actions for a rock ARE pretty limited, but it can be used in a variety of ways!

McKenzie Scott (Bezos Ex-Wife) is doing what she can to get the divorce money to where it normally doesn’t land, so if we eat the rich, i’d currently say she’s off limits, pending good behavior.

Your choice, just know that post exposure vaccination sucks big time.

I would get that rabies shot at least. It’s incurable when symptoms start, an absolute miserable way to go, you might not even notice that you got a bat bite while sleeping, and it’s prevalent in wildlife you can’t control - and prevalent in nearly all countries except most western european states (and even there sometimes cases pop up).

Hepatitis gets transmitted through the open wound every newborn has - the umbilical cord. Yes, that’s the same wound that causes Tetanus in newborns, commonly about 7 days after birth, and it is still one of the common causes for neonatal death. But infants are still protected by the Mother against Tetanus, if she’s vaccinated (And no, previous infection does not count. You don’t die from the bacteria, you die from their toxins - same situation as with botulinum toxin)

Noone vaccinates a newborn against Tetanus; there are other ways of treatment, but they are no fun and include a long stay in intensive care, feeding a high calorie diet per IV (tube feeding is not possible), and a permanent diazepam iv drip to keep the muscle spasms - that can break bones - under control.

You know whats fine regarding salts? They dissolve when not in ubiquitous amounts (go read up on your chemistry, man). Now you just have Aluminium! This Aluminium loves to get oxygen to become inert, which it gets. Those limits are made to keep workplace environments safe and lifetime exposure low (and more a political thing than a medical).

I just looked it up, the CDC recommends 11 vaccinations in the first 2 years of life. That’s 14 diseases that cannot kill my child (and most are things that primarily kill children, that’s the reason they get them so early. Makes sense, doesn’t it?). Even if there were a tradeoff more that being a bit under the weather for a few days, it would be quite worth it.

And there is ZERO evidence for that! ZERO! Vaccinations are a thing for quite a while now, and there is still nothing there except the brainless drivel you were probably fed by “Mom Groups” on Facebook, which you mean by “studying information” and which cooked your brain and that of thousand others.

But rest assured, with Mr. Brainworm at the steering wheel in the US we will see how the child death rate will start climbing and let the glorious states look even more like a third world country regarding childhood death by preventable causes. The only sad thing here is that the price will be paid by children.

You know what the first thing is a medic asks you when you come in with an open wound? He asks you when you had your last tetanus shot. If you even blink before answering that question, you have that vaccine needle in you faster than you can say “autism”.

Tetanus is deadly as hell, and even if not deadly can cause massive tissue damage. Disinfecting the wound won’t help you when the wound is deep, you can’t clean that shit more than removing debris (btw, disinfection of open wounds isn’t done in many cases, because the disinfectant damages the healthy cells that are busy healing the wound, causing longer healing times and bigger scars)

Speaking of aluminium: Do you know how little the amounts you are speaking of are? A µg is a 1/1000th part of a mg. We are not talking about fucking Sarin here, it’s aluminium which the human race gets exposed to in shittons. The first thing Aluminium as soon as it gets a chance is forming an oxide layer, making it about as reactive as my dick to a picture of Margret Thatcher naked on a cold day. The probability of aluminium in vaccines causing health effects, when taking the dosage in consideration, is negligible.

I would not consider you an expert in the field of infectious diseases, please inform yourself the next time before you speak up on this particular topic.

Carney looks like he watches reality getting kicked in the balls, repeatedly and with force.

Neither, it’s a scene for a program called Wallpaper Engine, which is available on Steam for Windows (where i used it before). The Program itself can still be used to download Wallpapers (which is a simple subscription in the Steam Workshop), but the background service which show the wallpapers doesn’t work - but there are KDE Plugins that are able to do that job. They are not feature complete yet, and a few wallpapers might crash your desktop, which must be fixed by editing ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc by removing the offending entry:

[Containments][1][Wallpaper][com.github.catsout.wallpaperEngineKde][General]
<some stuff>
WallpaperSource[$e]=<remove the path here>
<stuff>

But most wallpapers work fine already!

This one can be found here and the previous one is here

Many are also interactive, reacting to audio or mouse movement.

came here to say exactly this - i like my showers steamy hot while hers are more lukewarm and make me shiver - well, for a shower together i will endure it, because i won’t be able to get that while burning her skin.

I work with 5 virtual desktops, i keep one of them blank just for that reason! I can switch using only my mouse - i have a modifier key on it, that plus the horizontal axis of the mouse wheel is for switching virtual desktops :-)

Thanks man :-)

Update: thanks to @eyedust@lemmy.dbzer0.com i am now aware that Yakuake has downloadable skins, so heres the updated version!

Yeah, I’ve got a Metalcore phase currently, but it’s getting late, so i’m switching to Diary of Dreams to cool down 🤘

You are right, thats’s nicer :–) i didn’t realize there are downloadable skins for Yakuake, thanks!
