You may have seen or heard the news about @dolphin / Valve / Nintendo from a few hours ago. If not, read e.g. pcgamer.com/nintendo-sends-val 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 did a funny

allegedly nintendo only DMCA'd dolphin from steam due to it's inclusion of the wii common key

so here's a flag that represents the wii's common key, in hexadecimal form :)

@KindlyWizard@strangeobject.space Does it work? Of course not. Did I always try it anyways? Yeah...

Re: No context 

You know, actually, if you were to come up with the ability to go back in time, you could really have some fun by going back in time, killing, say, Andrew Jackson, then going forward well past any human lifetime and getting yourself thrown in jail for assassinating a president over 100 years prior. (Well, I say "fun". You'd be stuck in jail for assassinating a president. But it would make a fun story in a history book.)

Okay, so I did some looking and it turns out there is no statute of limitations on presidential assassination, so if you were actually the one on the grassy knoll, I'd maybe keep that fact quiet and just keep pretending it was Oswald.

I should point out that this is very much a unique thing. None of the others advertise working on AIX. A few say Linux, but none say AIX. Why is this available on AIX? Which hospital (system) are they advertising towards?

I was looking through a lab magazine's comparison of lab information systems and, uh, was not expecting to find this:

USPol, Trans Rights 

Yesterday, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey had a site put up to narc on trans people in Missouri (and likely out of state, too):

ago.mo.gov/file-a-complaint/tr

However, the site doesn't do any kind of bot filtering, data validation, or even location validation (so long as you use a VPN and switch locations up!).

With that, class... UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER SHOULD YOU USE THE FOLLOWING SCRIPT TO FLOOD THE SITE WITH FALSE INFORMATION!! That would be very, very naughty!! 😈😈😈

@Mebhy At first, I was a bit confused. Then I noticed the keyboard. Oh dear.

@daviddd@tech.lgbt Because these people don't realize it's possible to mod a 3DS without Pokémon Picross (It's almost like they haven't checked 3ds.hacks.guide before making such absurd claims.)
