Having user supply some copyrighted software that they should own (like BIOS or decryption keys) is entirely different from an emulator or a homebrew project taking and integrating copyrighted code. They’re lucky Nintendo didn’t sue them into oblivion like that modchip guy because they really could.
Twin Peaks broke the episodic TV paradigm making way for longer stories being told via this medium. It still got loads of filler, especially in the second season parts without Lynch, but Rome wasn’t built in a day (/chuckles).
Whelp, they’re lucky Nintendo didn’t care enough. Wondering what prompted this?
Since I found out I have autism I was reading a lot on how autisms develop and have very mixed feelings about how both sides approach this.
Currently the main accepted theory of human origin is that Homo sapiens left Africa and replaced other ancient human species. This is very at odds with evidence of Neanderthal and Denisovan ancient human DNA being present in modern humans and being highly correlated with autoimmune diseases as well as neurodevelopmental „disorders” or neurodivergence. There are environmental factors too but one doesn’t really exist without another. Like premature birth and asphyxiation are still correlated back to genetics of Marfan, EDS and other connective tissue disorders.
Neanderthal DNA is more common in European/Asian populations while Denisovian DNA is more common in Philippines and Australian aboriginals. We know that aboriginal belief system is entirely alien compared to other human cultures and must have diverged a very long time ago too.
Pretending all humans are the same seems to be done out of concern for the consequences it might lead to rather than out of concern for truth. I kinda get it, Nazis started with us and then followed with killing every population correlated to neurodivergence (LGBT, Jews, Slavic people, Roma) so it’s pretty scary.
I don’t think hiding is the answer though and what’s happening should be challenged head-on. We’re different but we can coexist.
Tildes does this with the rationale being that once a post is submitted to a community it belongs to that community. This solves more things than it breaks since you don’t want to participate in a community where mods would abuse this and modlogs are public anyway.

This conspiracy theory is missing the part that explains debit cards.
Is this any different from similar data dumps Ukrainian intelligence has been sharing since the second invasion of Ukraine?
Warner Bros. Keeps Polish Unit TVN After Strategic Review
Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. decided to keep control over its Polish unit after ending a strategic review which included options to sell TVN SA.
The fate of TVN’s 24 television channels, including one of the country’s most-watched news networks, has become a political hot-potato in the nation bordering war-torn Ukraine. Tensions over the potential sale escalated further ahead of Poland’s presidential election, which will be held next month, with a probable run-off set for June.
“We decided that the optimal option is for TVN to remain within WBD’s structures and develop our business within one group,” Warner Bros. said in a statement published on a TVN [website](https://archive.is/
Sony Lifts PS5 Price in Europe by 25% Ahead of a Likely US Hike
Sony Group Corp. raised the price of its PlayStation 5 console by around 25% in Europe and in the UK ahead of a likely US increase.
The company announced the decision on its PlayStation blog, with Australia and New Zealand also affected, citing inflation and “a backdrop of a challenging economic environment.” The PS5 will cost €500 in Europe and £430 in the UK from Monday.

Added channel name to the title which I usually do, but forgot to in this case. People who’ll be interested will probably know if they want to see it since Summoning Salt is a household brand but for others it might be a bit too niche and that’s fine too.

Trump exempts smartphones from reciprocal tariffs after market rout

The Trump administration has excluded smartphones from its steep “reciprocal” tariffs as it battles to calm global markets by tempering its approach to the multifront trade war launched by the president.
According to a notice posted late on Friday night by Customs and Border Patrol, which is responsible for collecting tariffs, smartphones, along with routers and selected computers and laptops, would be exempt from reciprocal tariffs, which include the 125 per cent levies Donald Trump has imposed on Chinese imports.
Apologies to the elderly for posting it here.

Some of the main candidates in Poland’s presidential elections took part on Friday evening in one or both of two televised debates that were organised at the last minute in the same town, resulting in a chaotic five hours of viewing.
The bizarre situation meant that, right up until the debates began, it was not clear who would participate in them and what format they would take. (…)
Trzaskowski wanted just Poland’s three main stations: the private Polsat and TVN plus public broadcaster TVP. However, Nawrocki additionally wanted two conservative channels, Republika and wPolsce24, to be involved.
Meanwhile, other presidential candidates (there are so far 13 official candidates in total) complained that it was unfair for just Trzaskowski and Nawrocki to be given televised debates.

(…) In the past, Ros had created board games for himself and his friends, and he had been noodling over an idea based on the word “drafting” as a double entendre — referring both to the drafting of cards in a game like Magic: The Gathering and the drafting of architectural blueprints.
What emerged was a prototype for a game in which the player would continually draft new rooms from a randomly generated selection, sort of like drawing cards from a deck. He was also inspired by a board game called Labyrinth and the esoteric

Greece to repay first bailout loans by 2031, 10 years early
ATHENS, April 11 (Reuters) - Greece will pay off loans granted under the first of three debt-crisis bailouts by 2031, two government officials told Reuters, as the country seeks to lose its label as the most indebted country in the European Union.
The payments, which will come in 5-billion-euro ($5.7 billion) annual increments, will allow Greece to pay off the debt 10 years before the loans expire, the officials said on condition of anonymity.
The Greek economy is gradually rebounding from a 2009-2018 crisis that saw it nearly drop out of the euro zone and that triggered years of social unrest as ordinary citizens fought against austerity-induced cuts in wages and pensions.
"Our aim is to fully repay, ten years earlier than scheduled, the rest of the loans from the first bailout which expire by 2041," said one of the offici

Morgan Stanley reported a 26 per cent rise in first-quarter profits, powered by its equities trading business, which benefited from volatile financial markets during the early months of the Trump administration.
Morgan Stanley on Friday said it had made net income of $4.3bn in the three months to the end of March, more than a quarter higher than the same period last year and beating analyst estimates of $3.7bn.
“These results demonstrate the consistent execution of our clear strategy to drive durable growth across our global footprint,” chief executive Ted Pick said.
The robust performance was powered by the bank’s equities trading business, which posted a 46 per cent surge in revenues to $4.1bn during the period. The fixed income trading arm reported a 4 per cent rise in revenues to $2.6bn.
Net new assets in its wealth management business came in at $94bn for the quar

The vessel, named Kiwala, was on its way to Russia at the time of the seizure, MarineTraffic data showed.
