  • 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.











  • If reddit hadn’t locked their API behind absurd paywalls, it would have been a cool project to try to make a browser plugin that gives accounts a “credit score” based on the factors you’ve been looking at, in order to let users quickly judge how likely an account is a bot.

    It could let people adjust the metrics it uses to calculate that score in the settings, so even if it becomes popular enough for bots to start trying to game the system, people can adapt their scoring metrics themselves and share config profiles that they think are more effective at rating bots.

    Might be something cool to see for activitypub/fediverse/lemmy accounts, but with the data available varying by instance it might be a little harder to calibrate a “catch-all” scoring config


  • I guess you could say they’re plugging up the discussion!

    In all seriousness, it takes more humanity to make a relevant joke than to identify an object in an image, analyze the accompanying text, and form a response that answers the question without a trace of a smart-ass tone.

    The old sci-fi books were right. You can’t teach a robot to laugh. Not in the same way people do, with the tech we currently have, at least.

    I just wish more people would be helpful after making their joke, all within the same comment. Keep it engaging and relevant rather than picking just one lane.
