what? whaddya mean? the fact that it exists?

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2023/05/the-solid-legal-theory-behind-nintendos-new-emulator-takedown-effort/

or the fact that nintendo doesn't want it to "spread" Come here without defending big megacorpo or leave please

they are going after the developers that make it possible to play your emulated game....

they aren't selling all their games, and never have. ever wanted to play earthbound? you can't legally...

if you want to blame me for "rehashing arguments" then maybe look where you are first, and then read my comment. this isn't a place for respecting copyright, or corporations fighting against preservation.

feel free to check out my other comment on this post. where I link to nintendo using pirated roms and selling it back to us.

point is to stop giving the rich ass company any benefit of doubt.

how did lemmy piracy suddenly turn to defending nintendo...

nintendo pulls rom sites down, sure - it's their shit (https://www.pcworld.com/article/402404/nintendo-suit-rom-emulation-game-preservation.html)

Nintendo is using roms from these sites to sell to consumers within their own "ecosystem" (https://www.eurogamer.net/did-nintendo-download-a-mario-rom-and-sell-it-back-to-us)

Not even close to all of nintendos titles are avaliable on their online stores, and the mini-snes or whatever did not have even close to all their titles.

point is. Nintendo is NOT preserving their own games. And they sue anyone doing anything like preserving it for the public.

They've sued multiple times emulator developers, even when it's completely legal.

(it is 100% legal to emulate, and make emulators.)

Due to the fact that a court case is expensive AF, this usually just kills the emulator group.

we're mad at nintendo precisely because they do not, themselves preserve games. While they try to sue emulation and game preservers, they also use their ROMs and emulations to sell games to the consumer.

lol, the dog owners say that the parts of the bill not affecting them are good, and the farmers say the parts not affecting them are good.

easy solution. split the bill in two. one for dogs and one for farmers. both pass, and everybody's unhappy

Even the israeli newspapers are writing this. How anyone can defend this blatant genocide is beyond me.

Netanyahu mulls plan to empty northern Gaza of civilians and cut off aid to those left inside

The Generals’ Plan was presented to the parliament last month by a group of retired generals and high-ranking officers, according to publicly available minutes. Since then, officials from the prime minister’s office called seeking more details, according to its chief architect, Giora Eiland, a former head of the National Security Council.

Israeli media reported that Netanyahu told a closed parliamentary defense committee session that he was considering the plan.

Eiland said the only way to stop Hamas and bring an end to the yearlong war is to prevent its access to aid.

“They will either have to surrender or to starve,” Eiland said. “It doesn’t necessarily mean that we’re going to kill every person,” he said. “It will not be necessary. People will not be able to live there (the north). The water will dry up.”

...

When asked if the evacuation orders in northern Gaza marked the first stages of the “Generals’ Plan,” Israeli military spokesperson Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani said no.

“We have not received a plan like that,” he added.

But one official with knowledge of the matter said parts of the plan are already being implemented, without specifying which parts. A second official, who is Israeli, said Netanyahu “had read and studied” the plan, “like many plans that have reached him throughout the war,” but didn’t say whether any of it had been adopted. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity, because the plan isn’t supposed to be discussed publicly.

On Sunday, Israel launched an offensive against Hamas fighters in the Jabaliya refugee camp north of the city. No trucks of food, water or medicine have entered the north since Sept. 30, according to the U.N. and the website of the Israeli military agency overseeing humanitarian aid crossings.

Tbh, I want my memes with sources. and this one is strange...

https://civilizationchronicles.com/roman-engineering-and-mathematics/ claims that mathmatics were essensial to roman engineering.

whereas this (only abstract avaliable...) https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-662-66494-0_25 claim that mathmatics were but an auxillary science? 🤔

nontheless mathmatics seems to have been quite understood and used by the roman engineers building among other things, aqueducts

That was supposed to be a myth created by movies, not reality! 🥲

no, the bottom part is the meme's representation of someone doing "mental acrobatics" to avoid blaming people for issues

I mean, this just suits the genociders... No way Israel will accept - and the world just watches.

I personally made a new FB account, haven't touched the old one, but I was thinking of setting it up as "this person has died" account, with my account as the caretaker

I always found that calling cops pigs is pretty dehumanizing to the pigs - they are far too good to be compared to cops

Hostile architecture is among the symptoms of the hostile modern city, where neighbours never say hi, and people die on the streets as people walk passivly by.

The youtube channel Mossy earth is a project not driven by big investors, but small investors - you and me and they're restoring nature all over the world, in small projects.

For me it's one of my happy moments looking at their projects and seeing that good things are actually happening in the world! <3
