  • Wow. What happened to the love for the constitution?

    AFAIK the constitution doesn’t apply here. I can’t remember who or even when it was but there was a musician or actor who once said in a TV interview that they consumed pot in the past and then were turned back to where they came. See also https://www.usentrywaiverlaw.ca/marijuana-tourism.php

    Basically: The US has been hostile not only to migrants but mere tourists since quite some time (at the very least since 9/11), even under Democratic administration. On entry, don’t admit to anything and wipe your phone (restore a cloud backup after successful entry). Or even better, don’t go to that shithole country that treats people who fund the tourism industry like criminals. If they don’t treat you like they want your tourist money, they shouldn’t get that money in the first place.


  • This is a pretty damning “they used assets of when they were under contract”, so, for once, squeenix isn’t entirely in the wrong.

    Depends what the contract says. If some line somewhere says that the developer retains copyright if Square Enix cancels their end of the deal, then the developer is correct.

    The only thing we on the outside can make a somewhat educated guess on is that probably both sides think they’re in the right. Maybe details of the contract were lost in translation between Japanese and Chinese.

    The notable detail I find interesting is that they try to stop the US release of the game whereas the Japanese and Chinese release went ahead just fine and SE only later decided to sue in Japan as well.

    Worst case scenario, 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

  • It’s kinda funny that as a seasoned Linux user, I never had to edit fstab for years. I just use Gnome Disks if I need automount or format a USB drive.

    LucidNightmare tries artificially complicated ways for niche use cases instead of going the straightforward path and then complains all the time how bad Linux isn’t for average users, as if those would meddle with network drives, disk partitions, etc. at all.
