Cloudflare work on some cool stuff! It's a shame they don't hire for software engineer positions in Australia.

> I feel like it would be a lot more straightforward if people just came out and said that they think piracy should be legal. I don't think Yuzu advocates are actually advocating piracy. I think they think an illegal use of a tool s

I understand your argument, and perhaps a similar one will be made to the courts. For some people, if a tool has a single legitimate user, and otherwise haa illegitimate users, then the tool should be allowed. For others, if the tool is mos

I think MyFedora is suggesting that even if Yuzu's primary usecase is piracy, that's because it's so difficult to use Yuzu in the legit manner (due to Nintendo's DRM on the console/game you own).

The only comment of someone saying they had used Yuzu for piracy has been flagged, and is no longer visible. This might HN readers a skewed perspective on how much Yuzu is used for piracy. I have many acquaintances/friends in different

I like the signal-to-noise ratio of interested commenters searching for related posts. I fear something automated would be too spammy for most posts.

I know this isn't a practical option for many, but there are still many simple audio players for self managed music collections. I use VLC on Android, and Amberol on Linux. They're both folder oriented, and stay out of the way.

The post notes that Spotify pays $0.003-$0.005 per stream, and compares that to the average exec making $200k/year. If Spotify diverted all that exec money to artists, I wonder whether the $0.003-$0.005 figure would change, or if that

Sometimes when I load Twitter, even to view a single, it requires sign in. I don't know why it sometimes does and sometimes doesn't.

The bar for writing in games is surprisingly low. I'll not mention any in particular, but IME even games noted for their writing have generic stories. Maybe there's something in the medium that constrains stories? A story explored

Australia has strong labour laws, but my impression is that its culture is losing its historic comradery, possibly in response to density beyond what its cities can handle, and the housing crisis. This news is a welcome win for labour laws.
