That code is so wrong. We're talking about Jason "Thor" Hall here—that function should be returning 1 and 0, not booleans.

If you don't get the joke...In the source code for his GameMaker game, he never uses true or false. It's always comparing a number equal to 1.

Zhong went on to say that the Sure Foundation Baptist Church is a “Bible-believing church” whereby “whatever the Bible says, we believe it”.

“whatever the Bible says that we agree with, we believe it”.

FTFY.

He added: “If you are sick and tired of the woke culture or churches that do not preach the whole Bible, then you should come and check us out!”

If Jesus came back today, Zhong is the kind of guy who would rally to crucify him again.

I had a math teacher at my stem highschool claim that the touch screens on the ipads worked by heat and that if you touch them too much the screen will get too warm and stop responding

I think the only way this could be any stupider is if she said it has cameras under the screen looking for where your fingers go.

They could (and probably have) tried to get to where apple is with its app store on macos/ios.

They did.

The Windows 10/11 "S Mode" only allows installing software through the Windows store. It was mostly relegated to OEM installs for cheap x86 and ARM laptops, thankfully.

Meta said that "it is required to offer a free, reduced-ad service that leads to poorer outcomes for users, advertisers, and platforms."

Oh, fuck off. Targeted advertisements don't help users with anything other than spending money on things they don't need. They lived perfectly fine before seeing the ad, they don't need what it's trying to peddle.

The only poorer outcomes are for Meta and their advertisers. Don't try and frame this as though it would hurt actual people, Meta.

It's actually getting kind of hard to think of new, stupider ways to ruin the economy and raise the cost of living. Parody is getting close to being indistinguishable from reality.

  • Blanket tariffs for goods with low domestic production? Done.
  • Imprisoning laborers who do domestic farming? Yes.
  • Deporting legal, tax-paying noncitizens? Yep.
  • Pissing off citizens of countries that contribute significantly to local tourism? Indeed.
  • Asking potential tourists to pay extra for the privilege of visiting a to-be-sold-for-industrial-logging park? Why not.
  • Cutting healthcare and replacing it with a bonus for the 0.001%? Might as well!

What if all this drama is just 4D chess and PS is secretly supportive of it?

If he doesn't triple down on his shit take, it's pretty much guaranteed that he's going to try and take credit for SKG succeeding. People like him can never be wrong and will twist reality and facts to that end.

Edit: And he did. https://x.com/PirateSoftware/status/1940956598178140440

Isn't it kind of ableist to assume that when somebody says they are "not able to physically do" a job, that they're lazy or classist? For all we know, they could have mobility issues or be unable to do sustained manual labor.

Brought to you by the party of white supremacy common sense, white supremacy reason, and white supremacist family values.

That makes much more sense now.

 

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.

 

Once one company gets away with it, the rest follow.

 

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.

The GitHub repo page for Yuzu now returns a 404, as well. In addition, the repo for the Citra 3DS emulator was also taken down.

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

There is also an active Reddit thread about this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/1b6gtb5/

 

An ad that showed up as I was browsing through the news. Bloody ridiculous...

 

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.
