I mean compared to Lemmy most spaces are getting conservative

When setting up the authentication when it asks you to set up Microsoft authenticator there should be a drop-down at the bottom of the page that says use another option that will allow you to use a phone call or text message as your chosen method of authentication.

Most places I’ve worked have data retention policies in place that would twart to any such efforts.

To add this any party that’s perpetrating abuse would obviously know to avoid recorded communication. I’m my anecdotal experience people tend to think better of it when they have time to actually type it out.

Lastly given the sensitive nature of the investigation and the third party being hired it was obvious we’d never get a look behind the curtain at the methodology and without that any statement is worthless.

You can’t investigate employee abuse allegations months after the fact, everything there is circumstantial and proving anything after the fact is near impossible.

This was obviously an act done to cover the business. I’m not saying they are wrong to do so. I’m just saying that anyone expected any other outcome isn’t living in reality.

I feel like you’re arguing semantics about that one emulator. At least three of those forks had completely independent teams from yuzu.

The previous commenter implied that the only hostile thing Nintendo has done recently was the yuzu settlement, which is leaving out a lot of the picture

This is incorrect they actually issued dmca take down notices to about 20 emulator forks, Gary’s mod content, a couple home brew projects and an out of court settlement with Yuzu. This is just recently.

Nintendo has a history of being hostile to the emulation, homebrew and modding community.

And they still feel the need to have a legal team that rivals Disney hunting down and harassing every fan project and emulation team.

It doesn’t need it for crossplay.

Yeah but also it’s a bullshit requirement. Should be removed imo.

To put it succinctly they aren’t. They’re interested in aggregate data so that a data engineer can use it to understand consumer trends and better predict marketing reach.

It’s not specifically about you, it’s more of a what they can claim to know about their consumers.

I like flatpak for someone who is terminally gui.

Is there any way we could do some sort of certificate based authentication? Instead of a social security number. I know people get really dodgy whenever you talk about ways to identify them but there has to be a better way than this.

Identity fraud can ruin your life permanently and at this point I’m pretty sure more people have been compromised than haven’t.

Wasn’t aware of the controversy, what did they do?

Edit: Nevermind found it elsewhere in the comments

I’m a systems administrator but I’m always looking for ways to expand my skill set, thanks for pointing me towards these awesome courses.

Oh no I definitely understand what’s happening but I just don’t think I will change their opinion in any meaningful way.

research shows that people don’t change their opinions in the face of facts because political ideology is a fundamentally emotional thing. It’s a shame that tribalism is so deeply ingrained in humanity.

If you say so, have a good day fine sir.

Open border? I think you must be confused.

Yuzu and Riyujinx (another switch emulator) work great, expect a bit of setup though

I can’t speak to lemmy.ml but I can say despite having a lot of issues with China I also find it difficult to criticize because I never lived there or anywhere similar but criticizing and noting where the US can improve is something I’ve spent a lot of time to understand the nuances and challenges of.

It’s not that I want to defend China just that I feel like I never have a great picture of what’s happening there.

All this being said fuck them for their treatment of uighur muslims. That I do feel confident about.

It can be but I wouldn’t read to much into it
