Yeah, I think the ‘successors’ are still in dmca violation (at least one not sure about the other). But it’s still early days, anyway. Yuzu was successful because of the dedicated team behind it. Just setting up other repos doesn’t mean much yet. It’s gonna take months to see how things shake out.
But you can’t deny the potential chilling effect of it all. Nintendo has shown that they will come for you.
I’m gonna just preface this by saying Nintendo suck and I don’t agree with what they are doing.
But it’s worth understanding what is happening here, nintendo isn’t just throwing random legalize against the wall to find something that sticks. They are specifically going after yuzu via a fairly well tested part of the DMCA.
The DMCA allows them this, and if you don’t feel like nintendo or anyone else should get to dictate what device you play the games you own on, you should be looking into whatever you can do to pressure your representatives to add to the many exceptions of that dmca clause for this purpose.
No. But not because of AI. There’s currently hundreds of thousands of out of work people surrounding tech. You’re competing with them for every job.
Even then, most of engineering isn’t in the nuts and bolts of putting it together. It’s in the endless discussions and decisions that lead to the nuts and bolts.
I feel like this is a very modern problem with the community. I’ve been in open source for a long time, I’ve been employed by some of these companies to write open source things.
Most open source stuff was created by someone who was employed to write that open source thing. There are exceptions, of course, but most things came about because of a need, and that need is often related to work. Companies used to be a lot better with allowing open sourcing of components.
Then, there are all the community contributions that come from commercial reasons. If someone working at a company fixes a bug they encounter, that’s someone being paid to write open source software.
I do not understand the reaction people are having to this now. The open source ecosystem was built on this.
I couldn’t find anything, just clicking around. Does z library not have a mechanism for others to make backups of its data? It looks like generally there are lots of limits around downloading, which makes sense. Most people need a handful of books. But without full data backups spread around multiple data hoarding nerds systems globally. When the inevitable day comes that the whole thing gets shut down they’ll be nothing to bring back
Email them. If your files are legitimate content for the website, they will give you greater access. Otherwise, you’re abusing a limited resource, so maybe find a different place.
Archive.org does good work and shouldn’t be taken advantage of.
Multiply your server wattage by 8 hours. That’s how much battery you need. It’s probably not going to be a cheap investment.
The alternative would be to keep your ups and invest in a generator you can kick on if there is a power cut, but if it’s every day, that might get rough. Technology connections figured out a build it yourself solution a few years ago https://youtu.be/1q4dUt1yK0g?si=8WOTue9-zGghWlxY
I’m sure they thought it wasn’t a moral panic last time too. You sound the same as the adults when i was a young person. Exactly the same. Everyone here does.
You need to ask questions of yourself, I mean, you can ignore the questions of yourself, but that is heading down the same road, but this time, it’s resulting in actual censorship of the things young people use instead of just a panic.
