Patriot Act, FISA, Cloud Act allows the USA to basically impose its justice over other countries. And it's never in the interest of its citizens.

So we're supposed to deal with your bullshit Patriot Act while GDPR is too "random" for you?

It seems I am the only one who expected this paper to talk about R4 and fellow DS/GBA cartridges.

I mean, it's still Andross vs Star Fox with the exact same map, so a very lazy sequel.

Actually interested if you're okay with shipping it across the sea.

Good luck finding a TT030 cheaper than a Falcon030...

Ah, my bad. I agree with your analysis.

Although Nintendo is still following the path of "gaming enshittification" with lesser budgets; and I would argue that Star Fox mostly sells because there's barely anything to play on that 500$ thing...

My point wasn't about Nintendo ruining things in-house rather than them following the exact same trends than Sony & Microsoft, only a few years late.

MP4 is what OP was talking about, an "interactive Hollywood" experience that betrays previous Metroids, adds discutable open-world design cues, and locks features behind $30 figures.

Star Fox (SNES), Star Fox 2 (SNES mini), Star Fox 64, Star Fox 64 3D, Star Fox Zero and Star Fox (Switch 2), while having minor gameplay differences, are all retellings of the same in-game story (the eponymous Lylat Wars).

Things are not that black and white.

Nintendo also shipped Metroid Prime 4, with massive delays and unsatisfied customers, following the same "interactive Hollywood" philosophy which disappointed Metroid fans.

Same thing goes for Star Fox, a remake of a remake of a remake, with poor visual and dialogue choices.

And meanwhile, the same silent push for digital-only, forced upgrades and the like...

C'mon, the Amstrad keyboard is not that bad :(

Replicants are not robots, and are arguably not AI. LLMs aren't AI either, but once the bullshit's out of the bag...

On the other hand, I was using Bunny DNS free for years, and now I have to pay $1/month to use it. Need to migrate somewhere else.

* Not all PS4 games can run on PS5. Granted, it's only a few edge cases. But you still need to pay the PS4>PS5 upgrade if you want to avoid bottlenecks.

* PS3 games and the like require a 150+$ yearly subscription, and it's streaming for many of them. No thanks.

* No PS2/PSP/Vita compatibility, heck no emulation at all.

This was not trolling at all, I didn't see these features on the website. Amazing, thanks for the quick response!

Nice project! It lacks two things that are very useful : website blocking, and !hashbangs like DDG.

Ads on a blog you selfpost on HN is a new low.

That's still how many users end up sharing files.

Prices for retro hardware are going up due to hoarders & sometimes social effect, too.

Being part of it myself, I think I've heard of it.

But I fail to understand how using the very thing that's shortening hardware life nowadays is "passionate". Different values I presume.

So, making obsolete hardware relevant by using the technology that's accelerating their "irrelevanceness" ?

You can't just redistribute it as dividends, otherwise it's an admission that you won't grow and giving you more money would be a 0 sum game.

I don't understand the logic behind this.

This person has a massive ego, too. Starting by putting her name everywhere...

Don't forget CodePlex!

Its initial run was cheaper, around 80 euros I think.

Nevertheless, this is still a lot of money, especially when you consider that they basically abandoned their previous product (TagTagTag) and the absurd software stacks they use (TTT uses PSQL, nginx, all that stuff on a bare Pi Zero, and "La Machine" runs an entire BEAM implementation).

Inspired by PHP :^)

Just kidding, even though I both love Clojure & PHP.

Thanks for the quote, I couldn't find anything online.

Although it seems to me that the comparison is somewhat fragile : it was not possible to develop GNU anywhere else, whereas we could completely build local models from scratch nowadays, unless I'm mistaken.

RMS found it acceptable to use SunOS initially to create GNU.

Any source on that?

Ah, yes, a problem so huge it killed the industry… wait.

This is the same thing with music / cinema piracy : it’s a mix of "pirates will always pirate" (whatever the reason, be it financial issues or not), and anti-piracy solutions always hitting legitimate customers first.

People want convenience first and foremost. Piracy being a « massive issue is a lie defended by lobbies.

Case in point, I have a legit copy of a EA game I cannot play legitimately anymore, because SafeDisc relies on a vulnerable Windows driver (basically a free rootkit) that was blacklisted by MS. See also the other comment mentioning SecuROM that basically killed SPORE on launch.

Two of these projects are just AI. This is not very promising.
