I have no reason to doubt what you're saying, but I really have to say this is the dumbest bullshit I've ever heard. The whole idea of putting expiration dates on products (and nutritional info for that matter) is for consumers to be able to interpret this stuff. Not manufacturers and not store managers. Consumers. There's no excuse for allowing this.

I'm out of the loop. The answer that references "one person's personal opinion" is from 2017, and the context it links to is from 2016. Surely things have changed since then, right?

.. Right?

(I'm genuinely asking, I've got no idea)

Edit: I just checked on Linux Mint 21.3. It's still on the same version as back then, 0.105. Well, Debian is nothing if not sable!

yeah, one of them is way shorter than the others but it's really wide to compensate.

What do you mean by epileptic? It's a video essay, the majority of the substance is the words spoken by the guy making the video. And yes, I occasionally watch and enjoy this kind of video, and I even saw this one about s month ago and liked it. It tied up some loose ends in my head and gave me context I wouldn't otherwise get.

The term video essay is really a perfect description for this.

FWIW I am not one of the jerks who downvoted you, I think your comment contributes to discussion even if I'm the end it turns out to be wrong. I think people just see the downvote button as a "disagree" or "you're wrong" button, don't let it get to you.

You need to hire a proofreader :P I can't read that, I've tried

In case the reference is lost, there's a famous Muslim proverb: if the mountain won't come to Muhammad, then Muhammad must go to the mountain. A flipped version of this proverb has somehow also become commonly known, perhaps surpassing the correct version (in my culture at least): if Muhammad won't go to the mountain, then the mountain will come to Muhammad.

If Icarus won't come to the sun, the sun will come to Icarus.

Could have been just a hypothetical or rhetorical question from my POV

In case this is a real question: AFAIK* that is not possible for them to do. The project was open source and it accepted code contributions from everyone using a FOSS license. This means:

  1. Everyone who has seen the code explicitly has rights to redistribute it, and this right cannot be revoked
  2. The core team does not own the entirety of the code - to transfer ownership to Nintendo they would have to get approval from every single contributor that ever made a pull request that got merged. This is impractical to say the least

So no, there is no and there cannot be legal basis for Nintendo to claim copyright on Yuzu. They might have other claims, but I won't weigh in on how good they might be because I'm way out of my depth already.

* I'm actually making a bunch of assumptions about Yuzu's licence and number of contributors that I haven't bothered to check, so take this with a grain of salt. I'm still pretty confident about point 1 though, I'd be really surprised if this was a wrong assumption, and it alone is enough.

Just added an update at the bottom of my post. The 6.10GB file doesn't go through at all.

I want them automatically backed up, that's a huge point of appeal for me.

In fact I'd prefer it if I could also pick other folders on my phone - specifically call recordings - to be automatically backed up too. But that's not related.
