UNIDENTIFIED! they have no fucking clue who they even ARE?!

And there's a good chance they won't. Three dead, but no CEO was harmed. There won't be a nationwide manhunt, and the police won't do anything beyond the bare minimum that is required.

He'll be SLaMmeD in that strongly worded letter, they'll pat themselves on the back for a job well done, then run another candidate without a primary.

It's a toss-up between him and President Musk.

Musk also threatened changes to X’s Community Notes after fact-checkers refuted his claims.

The only part of this that surprises me is that it didn't happen sooner. Musk is so thin-skinned that he's indistinguishable from an anatomical model of a human.

Whether Windows or Linux, remember what we all have in common: plenty of infighting over distributions.

Edit: Does nobody understand the post title is a joke?

Modlog, which includes a site ban—something only admins can do.

The community bans also include communities that aren't moderated by any instance admins, and some that are only moderated by a single person who likely isn't aware of actions taken under their community's name.

The solution is to deprecate the slower one, right?

Randy Pitchford predicted Epic Games Store would kill off Steam 5 years ago. Now, the internet is mocking him as Borderlands 4 comes crawling back to Steam. (www.pcgamer.com)
 

It's almost as if the real money is where the customers are at, and not in little Timmy's wallet.

The Citra website has been replaced with the same statement made on the Yuzu website, and the GitHub repository is now gone as well.

Other build dependency repos taken down with it:

This also includes ceasing development and destroying their copies of the code.

The GitHub repo page for Yuzu now returns a 404, as well. The website is still up, though.

As of at least 23:30 UTC, Yuzu's website and Citra's website have been replaced with a statement about their discontinuation.

TIL the history behind the "space melody". (lemmy.world)
 

You may know it as Space Melody by Luna Park or as ResuRection by ППК (English: PPK), but the original melody was composed by Eduard Artemyev for the 1979 Soviet film Siberiade. The original name of the song, as titled in the movie's soundtrack release, is la mort du héroes (the death of heroes, if my French is correct).

Here's a link to the original composition, if you're curious.
