Forrest for the trees

1 week free access to the service that did it in the first place is my favorite class action outcome.

You do know those don’t really mean anything unless used by a government agency, right?

They hired an investigator? Any investigator worth a shit is gonna say that they’re liable for failing to secure private data they collected, as well as for retaining data they were apparently legally obligated to delete

Edit: Misread that segment, they actually presented it as if they were deleted to users, but apparently retained them to comply with vague “law enforcement requirements.”

I know this is a week old, but I just wanted you to know, I love your haikus.

I just thought it’s in bad taste to use someone’s FLOSS software whilst calling them slurs.

You are decidedly not a protected class for being a tankie, homie.

We don’t talk about boobies in my Christian Minecraft server illegal webservice aggregator!

Realistically, though, blatant censorship is the first sign a service is quickly becoming untrustworthy. Who are they bowing to? Is there some third party pressuring them, or are their views becoming radicalized and being imposed on everyone else? Either way, it shows they’re not trustworthy for this kind of thing.

Nah, I mean the instance that’s an affront to reality.

One of the main devs has previously admitted that a lot of that money just goes to server costs for .ml. Fuck that shit.

This is the launcher I use. I love the app drawer categories.

Development of Nova went to shit after it was bought out, too. I dropped it when some major bug I now forget the details of was introduced and my reports went ignored for a full year.

Work 8 hours
Sleep 8 hours
Play 8 hours

Old-school dystopias were a fucking dream compared to the modern world I guess.

The threads linked there have a warning about Ryubing in the comments, too. Apparently the lead dev has done pretty shady stuff on Discord, but being Reddit, it’s all mixed in with deleted accounts and comments and is pretty hard to follow.

SimpMusic can do all of that… Except it only works for about ten days after each version release, then you have to wait a few months for the next.

If you’re on PC, you can also grab cookies from a browser to use liked playlists, but I don’t know if it’ll work for YTM likes, as I don’t know if that playlist actually exists on normal YouTube.

Gmail blocks archives? That’s pretty shitty. Passworded archives, I could understand, but all archives? (Epubs are basically zipped websites)

The thing is Romm seems to use emulatorjs to run emulated games in the browser, so they’re actually running on your system. There’s no system like that at all for native software. The closest would be streaming things like Moonlight.

Yes, the original code is copyrighted. A recreation of the code, however accurate, isn’t. Do you really think Nintendo would let decomps of so many of their games fly if they thought they had legal grounds to remove them?

Also, I’m technically correct anyway: Microsoft owns GitHub, so it’d be the one acting on the copyright holder’s DMCA request.

Despite what Take Two would like you to believe, reverse-engineering software isn’t illegal unless it’s for circumvention of security measures (oversimplified). Distributing copyrighted assets, on the other hand, is. Since the GitHub repo doesn’t include the game assets, the only legal DMCA takedown that could be made here is against the Play Store app, in which case, Google would be handling it.

All that said, there doesn’t even seem to be a repo for this. There’s a different port done by someone else (fexed) last updated over two years ago, but this particular port seems to be closed source. Last update on Play Store was yesterday, but the last time any fork of the main repo was updated was last month.

Semirural.
