According to Ryujinx developer and discord moderator Riperiperi, “[On September 30] gdkchan was contacted by Nintendo and offered an agreement to stop working on the project, remove the organization and all related assets he’s in control of. While awaiting confirmation on whether he would take this agreement, the organization has been removed, so I think it’s safe to say what the outcome is. Rather than leave you with only panic and speculation, I decided to write this short message to give some closure”

Seems like this was a deal done behind closed doors between the project owner and Nintendo. It’s completely reasonable to expect someone else to pick up the project under a different name, using source code available from earlier forks.

Unfortunately, this will further splinter the Switch emulation development community, and cause any work that was not yet release-ready (such as features detailed by Riperiperi later in the same announcement as the one quoted above) to likely never see the light of day.

Balderdash, the specificity employed in this context was superfluous in comparison to the minimum required for conveying his emotional response to the situation.

Dukes is my go to and it is used sparingly.

I think I know what you mean. It’s like the Internet has allowed us to share how fucked up each and every corner of the world is and it aggregates the worst of it and puts it on full display. So now I can’t really feel anything when I see headlines as awful as this, I just turn into an unfeeling psychopath. Luckily my moral brain and my feeling brain are different, and the moral brain still wants to do something about this injustice, however I can.

Which is sad because a lot of science is just ruling things out. We should still publish papers that say that if we do an experiment with too small of a sample, we get an inconclusive result, because that starts to put bounds on how strongly a thing gets affected, if an effect occurs at all.

It won’t even hurt the economy though, it will just hurt some specific industries that spend hundreds of billions of dollars to lobby against reforms, rather than simply changing their business strategy to one that doesn’t kill the planet

While I doubt he’s the spitting image of a healthy body, I’m willing to bet a lot of the chub on him is a bulletproof vest. I don’t believe for a second the man goes anywhere without one these days

Spacetime is curved. Inertial paths through spacetime are straight.

Euclidean space is not the only space where straight lines are possible.

While I don’t think it’s as high as 90% of users, I admit I didn’t think about people who would subject themselves to Arch just to not take advantage of what Arch has to offer.

(But seriously, why would anyone choose to do this when they can just install Mint)

I agree that right now we’re facing both at the same time, but either one in isolation would still be a huge problem.

Inflation at the current (reported) rate of ~3-4% is healthy for almost any economy, since it promotes spending your money on high quality, long lasting goods, or investing your money to promote growth of businesses. A little depreciation of money each year dissuades people from sitting on their cash. Even without a stock market and capitalism, inflation is an incentive for people to put their long term savings into government savings bonds, which allows for more public development today without more taxes.

BUT if inflation is too high, (even with wages increasing at the same rate, which never happens) it’s extremely difficult for people to save cash to make large purchases. Any economy that uses money needs for people to be able to afford to wait a while with their money before deciding what to do with it, otherwise people are forced to settle for lower quality goods or whatever investment opportunities are available on short notice. Less time to make wise choices with money means less productive use of that money, meaning a less productive economy overall. Not what we want.

And of course, if wages don’t keep up with inflation, either because inflation is running away or because your government has refused to increase the minimum wage at all since 2009 when the national currency was worth 1.47 times as much as it is today, 15 years later (cough cough), then obviously you’re going to run into some problems with people’s ability to afford things.

That said, I think some shady manipulation to the consumer price index is going on to make the reported inflation figures look a lot lower than the actual increase in cost of living that the majority of people are facing. The biggest offender is housing costs skyrocketing in the past decade, but not uniformly across the US. The result is that areas where this hasn’t been nearly as big of an issue falsely “balance out” critical problem areas, where people are practically being forced to either relocate or become homeless due to how rapidly housing prices have gone up.

There’s just so many different things that need to go right for an economy to be prosperous for everyone who contributes to it, and right now the people in charge of steering that economy are getting kickbacks from the people who stand to benefit the most from taking it off the rails.

It’s not about Arch itself being a unique choice, it’s about how Arch looks very different from user to user because they not only had the option but the requirement to install nearly everything but the Kernel themselves.

The result is that no two Arch users end up with the same OS, just the same kernel and package manager.

In actual reality there would be wind and water currents diverting any ship sailing that route from the depicted “line” anyway so the whole argument is pointless

The only straight line paths in the universe are followed by electrostatically uncharged non-accelerating objects in free fall in a vacuum. Or massless particles.
