Consider the Cornell rape case. Now extrapolate that out to all the other universities who have failed their students in similar ways and just escaped the media spotlight for it. This is not a Cornell problem. It's systemic.

Also look for federated or distributed services. Like bluesky, like the fediverse, like Peertube and Odysee. These are the internet community sharing their resources instead of consuming new ones. Like a co-op. This can also help lower datacenter use.

For those reading down thread. Investigate "self hosting" or "home lab". It's taking responsibility for your own data storage and resource usage. It's fairly easy with a bit of time and effort. As they say The Cloud is just someone else's computer. That means it can be your computer too!

As they say the Cloud is just someone else's computer. Thus the cloud can also be your own computer. "Self hosting" is the cloud but where you're responsible for the data and the resource usage. You might consider it bespoke ethical free range backyard datacenter.

I'm sure that's the case. The concern of the OP seemed to be that they don't make a dumper for the console they wanted to play/stream. I was suggesting perhaps it's not such a big deal if they simply acquire a rom and emulate as long as they actually own the game and not stress too much over it.

Well said! This is tough to convey to a lot of folks. A lot of people, for reasons I can't fathom, don't seem to be capable of remembering they had to learn to use Windows too and it wasn't that hard. Linux is the same. You have to learn it, but it's not really that hard.

I love that video game companies keep getting surprised by leaks. My dudes, your entire industry runs on “When the project is finished you’re fired.” What incentive does anyone have to NOT leak your shit? Loyalty only works if it goes both ways.

Emulation? I understand the compulsion to keep things on the up and up but if you legitimately own the game and there isn't, to my knowledge, a way to verify that a given rom was ripped from a given cart to actually prove it, then it seems like hair splitting?

We've developed a secure paste feature replacing traditional clipboard APIs. Users will be able to take away clipboard access from apps to use this instead. It integrates into the standard selection toolbar, input methods, accessibility services and keyboard shortcuts. We plan to get it merged soon.

I'm watching CDPR stream and the amount effort this studio has poured into a Remaster that's free for many is ludicrous. a lot Publishers would easily charge for this upgrade, i have not returned to this game since XB1 and PS4 Gen so i can't wait to play this again.

While I agree I think there might be more going on there. Actors brand is their likeness, by in large, so developers might be doing that to help endear the actor to the project so they will do the part. Just spit balling. I don't know that for sure.
