Seriously what is this? Nintendo argues that by instructing users how to extract the prod.keys from their own switch the yuzu developers are essencially infringing on the DMCA.
So what? Now you can’t even freely use your own property anymore because it goes against the design intentions of some big company that just want’s to milk their users?
Nintendo goes directly after this argument in its lawsuit, arguing that buying a Switch game only means you “have Nintendo’s authorization to play that single copy on an unmodified Nintendo Switch console.”
My favorite thing about the modern world is how we don’t get to own the computers we purchase…
I love how people just keep giving such companies money.
is there a choice? every machine is like this now.
Yes. You never and have never HAD to buy Nintendo.
Were they sleeping for almost a decade now? Doesn’t the prod keys users extract belong to them? Fuck capitalism
wants* to milk their users
There is no such thing as justice in courts. Lawsuits are corporate weapons.
Like (first hand experience in California) if you do not have 100k in liquid assets available right now, and you get injured by someone else, you’re not going to get jack shit for some lawsuit. You can’t navigate it on your own because of all the bullshit, and you’ll need lots of “expert witnesses”. Here is a little secret, expert witnesses are all academic opinion mercenaries that cost around 6k-10k each on an open market. You’ll need a bunch of them to counter whatever the other side does. In the USA it is all a formality in court. Whoever buys the most mercenaries wins the game. The insurance company or firm on retainer gets a bulk discount on mercenaries. The Supreme Court is not the only extremely corrupt institution here. Right, wrong, it’s all irrelevant. We are all worthless serfs in neo feudalism.
Dude. Can we make a giant list called america bad and put all the dystopian shit on it and pull it out when any idiot comes around and tries to defend that corporate shithole of a country?
I mean, I‘m frustrated and embarrassed of the country I live in but stories like this make me feel like I‘d surely be dead by now if I was in the US (where my mother grew up btw).
Like, why dont people who can just move? Especially the IT peeps who make tons of money should immediately go for northern europe. Everyone speaks english, the corpos are not half as strong (afaik) and people are friendly (my personal experience). The US would scream in terror if their top talent would start to move away. If the election this year goes bad, just vote with your feet folks.
I have a great life in America personally, no desire to move. That’s why I don’t.
I can do whatever I want every day, and life is very affordable for me, and I enjoy living where I live.
Read: F*ck you, I got mine.
Nope, it’s a simple statement of contentment that points out the reality that success and contentment are achievable in modern America, written as a counterpoint to all the immature doomerism about the status quo.
Just transpose this statement to a white person in a slave state during slavery and you see how this is an issue.
You dont need to move but calling it „doomerism“ is completely out of touch.
People are dying in your streets and it would be prudent to at least show enough respect that privilege is not a position to speak down from.
Sure, just change the words in what I said and it will mean something different. Let’s change your words around too.
Thats not how this works. You dont change the words or the meaning. You change the perpective to show why this is a problem.
You speak from a position of privilege. People who are in dire need of help dont have that privilege. You calling their issues or the descritption doomerism is out of touch.
Like, why dont people who can just move?
Kind of a catch-22.
America is the best country in the world, if you’re rich. Once someones earning a lot and saved up move to New Zealand money the appeal isn’t as strong for most.
immediately go for northern europe
Oof. That’s akin to moving there in 1938. Bit of a risky proposition to say the least.
I wouldn’t move there now if allowed and I don’t even have illegally move to Mexico money.
