You think vd dunce is going to be any better for the USA than discount orange hitler?

No but realistically, it would be logistically impossible to round up eleven million people.

It wouldn’t be much, but I still hope Harris wins the popular vote – even though I think she was a fucking garbage candidate. At least then I can go back to shouting from the highest tower that we should abolish the electoral college – but living in a world where Trump won the popular vote tells me America as a whole isn’t better than this, this is exactly who the majority of Americans are – hateful, scared and short sighted. I was lied to by my parents for my entire life – they told me there were more good people than bad people, but then they got old and they started voting for the very same bad people they taught me how to recognize. What the everloving fuck happened

Fuck off Biden, now’s the time to use that presidential immunity you just got to attack enemies of the state before your term ends. It’s legal!

They played this exact same game in 2016 and lost and yet they learned nothing. What makes anyone think they’re going to learn something this time? The DNC needs to be destroyed and rebuilt from the ground up to be a proper left party instead of this bullshit center-right garbage that they pretend is progressive or left.

EDIT: And I still held my nose and voted, because I will in fact take anything over fascism.

The result of 40+ years of republicans destroying the education system, who’d ever have guessed

No it’s not. This is bullshit. Nothing Trump does alienates his voters. GO VOTE. I have it on good authority that Trump could literally shoot someone in Times Square in broad daylight and somehow not lose a single vote for it and at this point I fucking believe it.

GO VOTE

One unspoiled egg in a factory of spoiled eggs doesn’t instill in me much hope.

And we’ve seen that the DOJ is a real stand-up operation the last 8 years, haven’t we

Fuck every last one of them for thinking that growing a conscience now matters. They can all die cold, alone and in disgrace for betraying our country when it really mattered. Them stepping up now is fucking worthless. It’s too late.

WRONG here’s why Arch is the best, and I know because I spent 13 years getting my first install running

If him standing up physically mocking and verbally mocking a disabled veteran didn’t backfire, I’m past the point of thinking anything he does at all will alienate a single member of his base.

If the speaker refuses to certify the election and neither candidate gets the electoral votes to win, it moves to a contingent election where the House votes for the President and the Senate votes for the vice-president.

Biden will not remain in power, the contingent election would be forced and the House would obviously vote for Trump. Then someone who lost the popular vote and lost the electoral college would miraculously have won the election.

When the election committee and gerrymandering aren’t completely and utterly destroying local elections, that is

If you’re still on Xitter at this point, you deserve all the bullshit you get. That place is a cesspool. You can’t swim in the toilet and then pretend to be mad you’re covered in shit.

IANAL, but from what I read regarding Yuzu / the title and prod keys / etc., is Nintendo’s argument is three-fold – the only way to obtain those keys is to use a tool that itself is a violation of the DMCA, use of those keys by an emulator to decrypt Nintendo’s protected content in a method outside of Nintendo’s authorized use is a violation of DMCA even if the keys aren’t provided in the emulator, and there is no legitimate use of those keys except to circumvent controls intended to protect copyright.

Therefore, by their argument, any emulator that can use those keys would effectively be subject to DMCA even if you had to bring your own keys, because unless the emulator only ran homebrew or completely decrypted content and had absolutely no decryption capabilities, you’d still be using the prod keys and title keys to decrypt content in violation of the DMCA in order to execute it. So, the tool that dumps the keys is a DMCA violation and any emulator that uses those keys to decrypt protected content in order to execute it is a DMCA violation, and Nintendo has a strong case that the actual keys themselves are only useful for making unauthorized copies of content that bypass the encryption that exists to prevent it.

It stands to reason that a clean-room developed Switch emulator that required all content it ran to be decrypted prior to being able to run it may be able to exist without Nintendo shitting it into non-existance, since Nintendo couldn’t make any argument that the primary use was a DMCA violation as no encryption would be being bypassed by the emulator. They’d probably then go after whoever made the tool to dump the games, but they’d probably be less successful.

On the other hand, the pragmatist in me says that unless I was 500% sure of my online anonymity, I wouldn’t want to pick a fight with Nintendo – even if I thought I was right. They have enough money to lock someone up in legal battles for a very long time and most independent developers wouldn’t have anywhere near the finances required to bankroll appropriate defense counsel. Can’t say I’d blame people for not wanting to invite that hellscape into their lives.

Watterson created a masterpiece with that series, that’s for sure.

That’s the whole goal this election. The conservatives are going to interfere with the election in as many places as they possibly can. All of the chaos they create they’ll then leverage to refuse to certify the election, then they’ll move proceed with a contigent election because the chaos they’ve created means we don’t have enough actual electoral votes to complete the election, then they’ll all vote Trump, and then someone who lost the electoral college and the popular vote will have stolen the election.

We’re absolutely fucked.

EDIT: I wonder if it’s possible for the current administration to do anything to impact this potential. You’d think the American people would support an executive order blocking contingent elections as it robs them of their vote. Short of something like that happening, I’m terrified that there’s nothing that can be done to stop them.

Do you think it would help or hurt the situation if Biden were to make a state of the union address and call out the imminent threat of Republican-led chaos causing this situation? Would shedding bright light publicly on it cause the people responsible to scurry away like the cockroaches they are?
