Yeah. I feel like the headline also misrepresented the extent of what happened.

But the firm rejected claims about the extent of the damage caused by the unnamed individual, saying they “contain some exaggerations and inaccuracies”

Is probably the key takeaway and a good summary of what the article is about

It’s like how a lot of parents these days don’t think their “jailbroken” Firestick is pirating

Would the collection just keep growing or would you delete content? Maybe periodically so if you haven’t watched the new Bettlejuice movie within a couple weeks it would get deleted? Maybe they wouls hold onto stuff until you’ve got it and watched it?

The idea of versioning it with your family stash is neat

I feel like that’s a lot of boiler plate stuff. It reminds me of Tom Scott’s video on VPN sponsorships not admitting they can be used as tools for piracy

The lack of interest in it even amongst tech communities and bridges (they can link Matrix servers and Discord servers) constantly being down has kept me from giving Matrix a second chance.

I think it was a Linux gaming community last time that got flooded with hate content after the bridge went down and the Matrix side was left to itself.

That made me smile. Thanks for posting!

I would say the answer to avoid any of this would be to use homebrew games but I don’t know if ones for harder systems to emulate (GameCube, PS2, etc) would be great for testing handheld emulators

Good to know. I’ll have to look into it further

Unfortunate. It’s available as a RetroArch core isn’t it? I wonder how that will effect things

I think they’re aware of your stash of full Family Guy episodes on Youtube featuring random zooms.

Also doesn’t the RIAA only cover the music industry?

The obscure content thing is an issue I’ve run into especially looking for ~70s era sci-fi or horror movies that are regarded as cult classics or underrated online.

If you are looking for software you might want to look for websites that list open source projects.

I can’t really think of decent mega lists though. The FMHY one does have a lot of simply free things but it is mixed in with a lot of pirated content.

Nice to see the article mention the source port

Totally. It’s cool seeing what people are enthusiastic about

I feel like it’s just more of that corporate fence sitting. It’s just extra strange and off putting when it’s coming an individual versus your average soulless company.

Here’s my hot take:

This isn’t any worse than manga misspelling words to show a character has an accent.

Beatrix Amerhauser is what made me stop reading Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead.

When you say upgraded do you mean changed to a new device or just updated the OS?

If it’s the former you might be able to extract the app and transfer it and crack it yourself.

What is it exactly? Some kind of developer mode to bypass the login screen?

I wonder how this will work with local accounts

Kind of reminds me of how I played The Long Dark. I turned all of hazards to minimal and treated it like a walking simulator/exploration game
