“Nintendo sues” oh look it’s a day that ends in Y. The only person Nintendo isn’t dead set on suing is Nintendo.
Here’s you 937th remake of Super Mario Bros 2 that you can only rent, have a nice day.
And our online service is absolute trash but you’ll pay anyway to have a legal emulator until we also discontinue that for Super other garbage online service!

I submit Nintendo’s online service as evidence that, that is not true in the least bit. MK8, Smash, Splatoon 3, all of them have atrocious online. Pokemon Unite using Tencent’s online services runs circles around anything Nintendo has offered with online being a major factor and that’s on same hardware.
Nintendo has their IP and they take extremely good care of it. No argument there. But holy shit is Nintendo’s online service absolute trash. I will always have something Nintendo because I must always have my Animal Crossing, but holy fuck, let’s not kid ourselves about Nintendo’s online stuff. Anything that’s using Nintendo’s servers for match making or their network stack for connectivity is just garbage.
I will always love a good Mario, Pikmin, or Animal Crossing but Nintendo clearly isn’t investing a single cent into online anything. And that is just my 2¢.
Absolutely this. The reason AI defaults female into “female armor mode” is the same reason Excel has January February Maruary. Our spicy autocorrect overlords cannot extrapolate data in a direction that it’s training has no knowledge of.

I’m going with Other and in the text box I’m telling Microsoft ' SELECT * FROM sys.database_role_members-- and going from there.

All I needed to read was in the first paragraph.

I mean, JS is his baby that’s all there needs to be said about the person’s motivations.

When you buy a Bored Ape, you’re not simply buying an avatar or a provably rare piece of art, you are gaining membership access to a club whose benefits and offerings will increase over time. Your Bored Ape can serve as your digital identity, and open digital doors for you.

Doesn’t matter the reviews or review bombing to Blizzard. The fact remains that no matter how actually shitty the game is Blizzard is making record profits off of the game.
That’s all Blizzard looks at these days. Is it making them money? And the answer is an abundant yes. So for whatever hate there is, the fact that players are still handing them fistfuls of cash indicates full success to them.
US FTC’s statement about Google and antitrust investigation back in 2013.
We nonetheless recognize that some of Google’s algorithm and design changes resulted
in the demotion of websites that could, collectively, be considered threats to Google’s search
business… On the other hand, these changes to Google’s search algorithm could reasonably be
viewed as improving the overall quality of Google’s search results because the first search page
now presented the user with a greater diversity of websites.
Rather, we conclude that Google’s display of its own content could plausibly be viewed as an improvement
in the overall quality of Google’s search product
Yeah. FTC is going to do jack-crap about the situation given the tools that they currently have. The FTC is on purpose weak, the US Congress has sought to weaken it over the last three decades. People can go leave a comment on the FTC’s website, but don’t forget, US citizens, to stop by the House and the Senate. And if you need some background, here and here.
Now all that said, this isn’t posted to discourage, it’s posted to get you focused on what hinders the FTC.

So the thing is the case has four parts, three out of four are basically (and I quote from the filing):
[X/Twitter] not only rejects all claims made by the CCDH, but, through our own investigation, we have identified several ways in which the CCDH is actively working to prevent free expression.
Which pretty much the vast majority of the filing is this. Which is basically"Nuh-uh YOUR mama so fat!" So yeah, it’s going to go nowhere. The inducing folks to break contract, etc. Yeah, there’s next to nothing there. CCDH has tweets showing the very things they indicated and it’s a semantic argument on what “flourished” may or may not mean to a hypothetical person who wants to buy ads on your network. Basically if you’ve got demonstrable garbage on your network, don’t be surprised if someone points it out.
The fourth part does touch on something to which we don’t have clear guidance on. And that is how CCDH accessed the site to obtain the data. Scraping a website is mostly free, unless you’re doing it for the explicit purpose of profiting. However, CCDH is a non-profit so this is going to be an uphill thing for Musk.
Except in the case where the court decides to toss a curve-ball. See, the various US courts don’t have any actual legal framework to work from for web scraping. Congress keeps kicking the can on the issue. And that’s the thing that’s got CCDH awake at night, a Judge literally can just invent their own rationale on why scraping is wrong or a protected right. It could literally go either way given a wild enough judge.
Anyway, the entire point is that no one should be using X or Twitter or whatever the fuck it is now.
Clearly the original was Mythos Games when they produced XCOM. Musk just added a fucking dot and thought that made it “original”.
Logo that was in the GIF Musk posted looks an awful lot like X11 logo.
Oh don’t even get me started. Hall effect has been known since 1879, those JoyCons didn’t use it because it was cheaper to use shitty graphite. They literally went the cheap ass route because they didn’t even care.
