That's why they're trying to take power. Billionaires would rather destroy the world and drive all life to extinction than to give up their private jets and yachts.

It's not a "community", it's one person making all the posts because I guess they wanted to make hating Linux their entire personality. ๐Ÿคท

Buying a social media network: $40 billion

Buying a US election: $0.13 billion

Democracy is fucked.

What do you mean, corporations that have a legal obligation to maximize value for shareholders weren't passing money on to consumers out of the goodness of their hearts? Nobody could have seen that coming! /S

Yup, also American automakers get plenty of subsidies and bailouts from the government too. It was always about not wanting to make electric cars. ๐Ÿคท

That team writes emulators that run directly on Nintendo consoles, so they would likely test it on development versions of those consoles the same way actual console games are developed and tested. Otherwise they would be testing a Switch version of an SNES emulator running inside a Switch emulator on a Windows PC that would introduce it's own errors.

I personally don't think it's so likely that Nintendo would write and maintain a Windows emulator just for their museum if an open-source project exists that they could legally use for free under that project's license terms. Only someone with insider knowledge would be able to say for sure though.

Emulator projects should all add a clause in their EULA that specifically forbids Nintendo from using their software, then they can sue Nintendo for breaching their license. Give them a taste of their own medicine.

I understand the actual market reasons that buybacks and layoffs raise a stock price, but it's always been counter-intuitive to me that shrinking the workforce that actually produces the capital and divesting money that could have been used to grow the company would be seen as positive indicators to investors.

Yeah, Tesla made this claim about the model X being full self driving in 5 years and being able to become an autonomous taxi while you weren't using it. Still waiting on that one...

I promise you there are older and weirder people in the world who can still find love and fulfillment. Yeah it might be harder, but it is still possible. The most important step is to take care of yourself first. Seriously, look into therapy or support groups. You are not alone in this struggle.

I mean this in the kindest way possible: I think you need some mental health support. Failure isn't something you are, it's merely something that happens and it happens to the best of us. You can always change, but it takes some effort and the will to change. Having more self-esteem will really help you find the type of sexual relationship you seem to be seeking.
