@gamingonlinux I would like open source lawyers to look into this case, because I wonder if it could be a dangerous precedent against the GPL license and therefore for the entire free software community. @gamingonlinux All of this will cause us getting more forks of yuzu unless Nintendo will stop this shit @gamingonlinux I am absolutely ashamed to use GitLab for my projects these days. They are just as bad as GitHub. They removed this unprovoked. Shitty corporate behavior at its finest. Hopefully Suyu can find a new home on a better hosting platform. I want to dump GitLab for Codeberg mor and more and GL's awful decisions aren't helping. I won't be recommending GL to anyone anytime soon. @gamingonlinux It's almost like Nintendo is trying to get me to not spend another cent on them ever again. All they are doing each time something like this happens is incentivize people to make emulators that don't even bother to reverse engineer anything, and then host them somewhere where they can never be taken down. Shooting themselves in the foot here. @gamingonlinux I think the solution here is to host their own Gitea/Forgejo instance off-shore. 😝 @gamingonlinux It seems they moved to a self-hosted forgejo instance. https://git.suyu.dev/suyu/suyu |
@gamingonlinux If people were smart, they would stop buying nintendo products, bit sadly, this isn't the case
