I don't see Federation giving any more resilience than Git itself. When a host deletes a repository, that's reflected everywhere by Federation. Unless you propose disabling the ability to delete repositories entirely, hosts would be sued if they press the "delete but still federate" button when they can press the "delete" button.
Put git on the blockchain/s
i'm still open to defending sourcehut's federation by email

From the gbatemp.net article:
UPDATE #3: According to an official statement on Ryujinx's Discord server, developer gdkchan was contacted by Nintendo and they were offered an agreement to stop working on the emulator project, and while the agreement wasn't confirmed yet, the organization has been entirely removed.
This is not a case of copyright infringement, so I feel comfortable linking these source code mirrors:
https://git.naxdy.org/Mirror/Ryujinx
https://git.l7y.media/mirrors/Ryujinx
The commit hashes on both of those mirrors match the official ones at least until March 2024 (v1.1.1217). I can't vouch for the more recent commits that extend through today (v1.1.1403), but the two mirrors do at least match each other.
Warning: A zip file in the ryujinx_202410 subdir of https://archive.org/download/ claims to have the full git history, but the hashes do not match the original source repo. It's possible that the mismatch is an artifact of some accident, rather than malice, but I would avoid it just in case.
It would make me immensely happy for Nintendo to be labeled a vexatious litigant. It'll never happen, but let me dream damn it
Ok.....but how is Switch "retro gaming"?
I'd say the general blow against emulators is relevant.
The website covers emulation news, be it old or new. Also Nintendo might go after older emulators at this rate.
Given that videos are currently getting copyright stuck if just having screenshots of over 10+ year old games....yeah its relevant.
*2017 sure seems like a hundred years ago.
But that was only...
Fetal position, crying
Unclear if I don't get an inside joke, or if that's a typo for 2017.
Like at least a hundred million billion years ago
It's not "retro gaming" but that doesn't make emulating switch games a bad thing. I dump and emulate my own switch games off my own switch because they tend to perform better via emulator on a PC. It's really unfortunate to see Nintendo shut down what ultimately is the best way for us to preserve switch games long-term.
I wasn't saying emulating is a bad thing. I was saying THIS community may not be the right place hor THIS particular piece of news.
Now if they shut down an SNES emulator, then I'd see why it's here.
Also, it just occured to me that Wii might be considered retro.......god I feel old.
The Wii U is considered Retro
STOP MAKING MIDDLE AGED MEN FEEL ELDERLY SIR!!!!
..........oh god. I guess I am on the younger end of middle aged.
sigh Guess I'll buy a walker or something.....
It's not by almost any definition
I think the point was this community is for retro games. I do see why it's relevant.
Do you get confused when the New York Times writes articles about something in Chicago?
