Wh… what do you mean, “originally as a joke”?

III. We’ve Already Seen Extensive Gains From-

When I was younger, I read R.A Salvatore’s classic fantasy novel, The Crystal Shard. There is a scene in it where the young protagonist, Wulfgar, challenges a barbarian chieftain to a duel for control of the clan so that he can lead his people into a war that will save the world. The fight culminates with Wulfgar throwing away his weapon, grabbing the chief’s head with bare hands, and begging the chief to surrender so that he does not need to crush a skull like an egg and become a murderer.

Well this is me. Begging you. To stop lying. I don’t want to crush your skull, I really don’t.

Yeah, but do you know how dangerous a tree is? It will eat you alive without mercy

I had the opposite experience with Windows (7 up to 10), every now and then I would have to reinstall it to get some random feature working, which made the system run smoothly for a while - which checks out, considering Windows’ affinity for software rot.

Then again, I increasingly debloated it as time went on, which I’d assume contributes to its instability.

I didn’t get the first half, could you send it again?

Lost access to your email? Nuh uh.

This isn’t funny, think of all the poor HOA board members that get eaten by bats every night

Everybody gangsta until the fabric of reality is computer science

And the registry key/value pair to disable it will be changed slightly

I’m sure that if you set a barely documented registry key to a specific DWORD, you can disable it.

Removing it completely, though…

With the last two big things I’ve heard about (Yuzu and… Dolphin, I think?) they were legally in the right, but at least where I live there is absolutely no way to spin a recompiler + asset extractor as something illegal - they can’t even claim the developers are circumventing DRM, because OOT and MM didn’t have any.

Though, I would not be surprised if there’s something in US law that can be exploited for this.

Ship Of Harkinian (and similar projects) have kept gping for a long time, and they don’t do anything remotely illegal either

I see it more like a “we’re good for now I guess, fuck around again and I’ll change it back to negative”

10% is a lot by I WANT MORE MONEY RIGHT NOW shareholder metrics

I’d imagine some of them are here:
