please understand the dichotomy between website and Web app i've made web apps before and i've used javascript to make them yes it's neat that the convergence point of web browsers has made it the easiest distribution platform for software that has more native overhead than Java but if'm i'm looking for just some words and pictures i don't need you to run code on my machine

if your website doesn't function at a base level without a javascript engine you made a mistake somewhere

You may have seen or heard the news about @dolphin / Valve / Nintendo from a few hours ago. If not, read e.g. https://www.pcgamer.com/nintendo-sends-valve-dmca-notice-to-block-steam-release-of-wii-emulator-dolphin/ from the amazing @wes.

Unfortunately pretty much everyone has been getting the legal details wrong, incl. Dolphin themselves on their blog (now fixed).

Quick thread with my personal summary of the situation.

i wrote a bit about my inspiration for making #webgbcam and the importance it's had for me and others on hackaday: https://hackaday.com/2020/10/26/the-game-boy-camera-or-how-i-learned-to-stop-worrying-and-love-the-pixels/

warms my heart a lil bit every time i see someone with an avatar that was recognisably taken with #webgbcam

my metric of "made it" is that when i first made #webgbcam, googling "webgbcam" would prompt "Did you mean: Webcam". it no longer does that

in an earnest tone like Alexey Pajitnov says "Play Tetris!", use webgbcam!

If you, as a cis person, want to know what growing up as a trans woman in this society is like, one manifestation of the trauma is in becoming a fully grown human and still, in many cases, having the nagging belief that everyone sees you as a predator, maybe even other trans people, despite all of the kindness and grace you have done your very best to practice.

And yes, all of these recent state laws will hurt another generation that way.
