Not anymore:

So who gets to pick what’s a lawful request and criminal activity?

Probably Telegram themselves. Durov was forced into exile by Putin.

Is gtk not backward compatible with older version?

New main versions of software usually is not compatible with old versions. That’s one of the points of new main versions. You cannot load Qt 3 themes into Qt 6 either.

In the same stroke though the onus to supply backing to any given position or assertion is on the one claiming facts.

Valve supporting gaming on Linux is common knowledge here. For very niche knowledge or hard to google terms, I’d agree but there’s a limit. One cannot expect to cite sources for every single bit of common knowledge.

This one is easily found out through a simple search and all but burden of proof isn’t on the one asking for proof

The amount of work required to ask for a source is similar to googling it directly, maybe asking is even more work because usually selecting the claim and then right-click --> “Search web for XYZ” works just fine.

Rule 2: Only tech related content.

Nintendo wouldn’t be able to go after him for like DMCA type route.

Old school suing about “aiding and abetting” piracy until the defendant has no money left to pay lawyers works pretty much all over the world.

It’s my understanding that the creator took a payout.

AFAIK the only statement so far is “agreement” and that that can also mean a legally binding document to take down Ryujinx and never again develop Nintendo emulators or get sued to the moon and back, ie. “sign here or financial ruin”.

it’s not my turn to Google things

It always it. That’s basic media savviness. Asking for things that take 5 secs to google is rude.

I thought Japan was all about Face. I guess Nintendo is the exception?

face, farce.

Well I asked for a source

I’m not AwesomeLowlander but you asked for something that can be googled in literally 5 to 10 seconds:

My Steam Deck has a 512GiB SD card full of legally backed up games

FTFY 😁

This isn’t a good argument, right?

The topic is Nintendo who make a handheld console and unless CD Project make a GOGBoy with a bespoke SteamOS-like “console OS”, yet another storefront for Windows PCs is hardly an actual alternative.

I also though of them because they recently improved their subscriber agreement (apparently not for selfless reasons but still an improvement esp. in the light of what Nintendo is currently doing).

I’d say questions regarding the leanings of specific instances are legitimate and those have been answered but questions regarding what constitutes terrorism and the motivations of fighters in armed conflicts are out of scope for this community. This is just a community about the Fediverse on Lemmy World, we don’t arbitrate moderation disagreements here.

Steam takes a lot of money for their service, which is a problem.

They take the same amount of money as other console makers and the store cut is completely unrelated to what Nintendo’s lawyers do which is the actual topic here.

Who says they have to?

The people demanding a full fledged SteamOS desktop release. It’s not full fledged when they’d ignore 80% of desktop GPUs.

We won’t have much choices left it seems

https://www.steamdeck.com/ is a good one.

My best guess would be that they’re trying to get ahead of the recompiler scene before it catches a bigger foothold.

If AI-generating images from copyrighted training material is legal, then generating source code from copyrighted binary code is as well.

That’s how you get rid of the good people who can easily get a job somewhere else.
