But then, it would be a tentacle going into the ear rather than coming out of it.

… I hope …

Haven’t tried, I’ll take your word for it.

I like that Mint even has GUI for adding and managing apt sources and signing keys. Something that probably doesn’t get used much because whenever you need to do it, there’s only instructions for doing it by commandline.

It kind of does.

I’ve heard someone say that they usually do this, first the standalone release then later on (days or weeks) they make the upgrade path.

If I remember correctly, the previous upgrade just showed up in the Update Manager one day. Personally I’m happy to wait a few more days to get a no-thinking-reauired upgrade.

There might be some double counting, but it doesn’t matter - this just illustrates the insane scale of these companies.

I’m assuming you already know AVGN, who pretty much invented it, but on the off-chance you don’t - his oldest videos are worth trying. I haven’t watched too much of his newer stuff, but I hear it devolved into pointlessness. Still, the backlog of good ones is massive.

AVGN is Angry Video Game Nerd, in case there’s any doubt.

Notes:

• I haven’t tried it myself
• (step 6) In Mint, instead of using the terminal, open that directory normally in the file manager, then right-click on an empty part of the directory and choose “open as root”. Both the file manager and the default text editor after you’ve opened the file will show red banners reminding you that they are running as root.
• (steps 3-4) I hope you are at least a little familiar with the registry editor on windows, otherwise these steps might be hard to follow

If someone shared ROMs 20 years ago and stopped, Nintendo wouldn’t be able to do anything about it today. The statute of limitations does apply.

But if someone started sharing ROMs 20 years ago, and continued doing it every day until today, then that means they shared ROMs yesterday. The “crime” still happened yesterday.

Edit: but they care a lot more about preventing it from happening tomorrow.

I don’t think that’s a good argument. In a more general case, if you didn’t pursue your rights 10 years ago that doesn’t mean you can’t get your shit together and do it today. Maybe you’ve lost some of what you deserved but you still should get future benefits.

As for statue of limitations, if it keeps happening today then it doesn’t matter when it started. They could only talk about things that happened in the past year - it’s still being hosted and shared.

To be clear, I’m not taking Nintendo’s side, all efforts to preserve these games are amazing and I love to see everyone keep it up :)

no list of apps anywhere

I’ve been looking for info about this for months, as it was obviously a part of the EU’s anti-gatekeeping legislation from last year, but I couldn’t find any info. Specifically I wanted to know which apps would be able to communicate with WhatsApp - Telegram? Signal? Something else?

And now that there’s an article, it’s behind a paywall…

Edit: managed to read it through Firefox’s reader mode. Unfortunately they don’t know, but not for lack of trying:

So far, it is unclear which companies, if any, are planning to connect their services to WhatsApp. WIRED asked 10 owners of messaging or chat services—including Google, Telegram, Viber, and Signal—whether they intend to look at interoperability or had worked with WhatsApp on its plans. The majority of companies didn’t respond to the request for comment. Those that did, Snap and Discord, said they had nothing to add.

The only service they mentioned that definitely will have chat interoperability is Facebook Messenger… Yeah, no fucking thanks.
