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.”
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.
It costs a lot more money than most Americans have available, especially if wanting to move to the EU or Canada and want to work.
I can speak Mexican Spanish and have considered moving there. The biggest obstacle are the Americans who want a cheap version of the US and are essentially colonizing these towns.
If I move to Mexico (or any other country), I want to experience that culture, not displaced American consumerism.
I sympathize with the money issue. But thats also why I intentionally said it would be good if peeps with well paying jobs/skills move away because
a) they can set an example without ruining themselves b) the absence of top talent will make much bigger waves then others which might change the course over time c) the economy needs to break for the system to change which will go faster if people who drive it leave
Obviously, folks with minimum wage are in dire need of help but I dont have a solution to this just yet. The most manageable seems to be the above atm.
The only alternative I see is mass strike which might lead to looting when people need to decide between striking and eating. So a massive escalation that I cant seriously suggest.
With everything else being more expensive…
Although I only know this to be true for germany. No idea about nordic countries. They’re generally more awesome than germany in most regards. Only downside is the light situation.
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.
Indeed. The people who desperately need to leave cant and those who could arent in hot water, yet. Thats why I think folks who are being laid off by tech overlords should consider rooting it all up rn. Because your employer cant fire you in germany without cause or has to provide means to find a new job. I was talking about nordic countries earlier but this system is pretty awesome, even if everything else is meh atm.
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.
