Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time.

He has seen his birth and death many times, he says, and pays random visits to all the events in between.

  • Yuzu & Citra devs fold to Nintendo's demands | Pay $2.3million to settle, take down github, domains, patreon, discord, with immediate effect.

    Jump

  • I do wonder if this is specifically what got them, would probably take a lemmy lawyer to unpack it, but I would have to imagine if they didn't have a patreon and basically a company, it would have been much harder for Nintendo to do anything about them. And I would also imagine in retrospect whatever money they got was not worth it when it ends like this.

    I always assume when people operate services like this, that they host it in a country like Russia that's less likely to care about takedowns by western corpos and done anonymously as possible. Even though it's just an emulator, you would think they wouldn't be so brazen as to have a patreon which I'm sure requires someone's identity/billing info. They probably still could have been tracked down if they took crypto donations or something like that, but you would think that would be the first choice over putting a giant target on their backs. Patreon is obviously just gonna hand over whatever info they are asked to give when served a warrent, and so is Discord for that matter if they had any personal info on there too.

  • In addition to clocks moving forward by 60 minutes in many parts of these 48 states next week

  • 47* states*, most of Arizona has no DST although some of the reservations observe it

  • HP is in the rent-a-printer business now

    Jump

  • GitHub - j-fbriere/squawker: An open-source privacy oriented Twitter/X client

    Jump

  • they have not blocked it and they probably won't block it bc it involves signing in with your twitter and since it's just an android app it's not gonna get as big as nitter, I don't think it's really helpful to tell people to "just accept it" as an individual you're not gonna be able to successfully lobby everything you follow to change to bluesky (which I think you can get rss feeds from) or masto (which you can get rss feeds from), like for example your city's local government/services only posts on facebook and twitter, no rss, this is still useful for things like that

  • "Jane Doe" Who Immolated Herself at Israeli Consulate in Atlanta Last Year Is Still Alive

    Jump

  • I think even worse is how the cops assumed they were trying to damage the embassy/ sent the bomb squad to their apartment as if someone doing this is likely to have anything more dangerous than petrol and a lighter.Treating them like a suicide-bomber in both cases.

  • Wendy's already walking back their surge pricing comments. They were testing the waters.

    Jump

  • The only way this would make sense is in the form of a happy hour or a lunch special which I guess are all just reverse surge pricing, but can't just simply make things cost less in off peak hours in god's Amerikkka.

  • Exxon CEO blames public for failure to fix climate change

    Jump

  • IT WAS ALL THOSE DAMN AVOCADOS, WHY DIDN'T WE JUST SIMPLY STOP EATING THOSE AVOCADOS

  • The growing controversy over Israel’s Eurovision song entry

    Jump

  • IDK nothing indicated they would be booted, they pretty prominently announced they wouldn't be restricting Israel from competing, to much controversy at that

  • Tumblr and Wordpress to Sell Users’ Data to Train AI Tools

    Jump

  • The obvious difference being my/others mastodon posts aren't showing up on wordpress and being monetized. One way federation to masto doesn't matter bc it isn't data farming / putting ads on masto content.

  • China has raided seven American businesses in Beijing and arrested employees on suspicion of espionage, ambassador Nicholas Burns reveals

    Jump

  • I don't disbelieve it, but I'm gonna wait to read about it not in the daily mail and I don't think other serious sources have reported on it yet, unless google has just ceased working as a search engine which is very possible.

  • The growing controversy over Israel’s Eurovision song entry

    Jump

  • It only has to do with being an ebu/sister org member which many arab states are eligible to compete, but refuse to do so since Israel is in it/ in some cases having laws preventing the broadcasting of anything Israel was involved in making.

  • The growing controversy over Israel’s Eurovision song entry

    Jump

  • To be fair to the euros they tried to both sides it and let arab/north african countries in, but those countries refused for obvious reasons.

  • Saudi Arabia puts seven men to death in largest execution in years

    Jump

  • I'm personally against sentencing death regardless of what they did, especially in cases like Saudi Arabia where they have more than enough money to handle imprisoning people for life. Call me a crypto-catholic, but I don't think killing people is good if it can be avoided, which in this case it definitely could have been.

  • Wendy’s will experiment with dynamic surge pricing for food in 2025

    Jump

  • Maybe a good idea to just turn around when you pull up and see there is surge pricing on a fucking cheeseburger.

  • Israeli soldiers chow on McDonald's while carrying out genocide

    Jump

  • Employees "You have to not say anything about your politics or else you'll lose your job"

    Franchisees "Glory to the state, all hail death and destruction and swing by for a BigMac TM"

  • Nintendo sues Switch emulator Yuzu for ‘facilitating piracy at a colossal scale’

    Jump

  • Company that makes money hand over fist selling $400 consoles and $70 usd games made under extreme crunch that have largely all been subpar compared to their previous gen of games, uses the fake tears moves, nothing happened.

  • Conservative UK MP sparks backlash after 'no-go area' claims about London and Birmingham

    Jump

  • Those areas apply to visible minorities aka black people and indigenous people etc. in the US, it doesn't go the other way around, there are no sundown towns/areas for white people and there aren't in Britian either.

  • The GDP per capita of Syria was three times higher than Ukraine before the Syrian Civil War

    Jump

  • I'm not sure why this would be surprising to anyone, Ukraine was notoriously gutted post USSR split, one of the poorest countries in the region, and, Syria had relatively a lot of industry, oil, etc. The US GDP per capita being around 50,000 that year for reference, I would look up the average/median for 2010 too, but I would need a spreadsheet or something bc google is impossible to find things on now.

  • Tumblr and Wordpress to Sell Users’ Data to Train AI Tools

    Jump

  • Yeah I've seen almost no movement against Tumblr while everyone got very riled up about Meta federation ie fedipact, probably a blindspot bc users have positive associations with tumblr, but it's still an ad/data company all the same.
