change.org doesn’t like my mail address for some reason, and they tried trick me into subscribing to their newsletter :/

It’s more difficult in Europe. For example, when South Park: Post Covid released on Paramount+ in the US, there was no legal way to steam it in Germany or Austria AFAIR. And these are not exactly third-world countries.

I’ve used both self-hosted Nextcloud, and an instance set up by my school. I have the client on two different Windows machines, and I can confirm the update either tries to kill explorer.exe, which doesn’t work half of the time, or forces a restart, so you’re not alone with this issue! I also hate the client UI and how it displays conflicted files when multiple people are accessing the same folder. The whole file sync thing feels like a poor attempt to copy Dropbox. My school discontinued Nextcloud support last year because hosting/maintenance took too many resources, they switched to Microsoft i.e. OneDrive and it works much better.

Wasn’t OP complaining about the Windows desktop client? What has that to do with the server setup, Docker, etc? People can have the exact same issues on the client side even if the Nextcloud instance is professionally managed by a large organization.

Maybe their next console will have a very similar hardware architecture and it will be easy to adapt existing Switch emulators?

I wasn’t talking about job security.

That’s a good point actually. I would argue that most emulators didn’t get good enough during the lifetime of the console, and even Yuzu isn’t there yet. But you can see the potential, and that’s threatening to Nintendo’s business model.

The comments section here is pretty much an echo chamber of people defending Yuzu. I’m a game dev and I think this case is more ambiguous. Emulators like Yuzu have the potential to make Switch piracy go mainstream. You don’t need to hack anything, you just follow a tutorial and google “yuzu keys”, suddenly you can play all Switch games for free. And people don’t need to be tech-savvy to do that. Nintendo would be stupid if they would just ignore this. It doesn’t help that the Tegra X1 is old, almost identical with other Nvidia chipsets and therefore easy to emulate on a PC.

This doesn’t necessarily increase prices, if anything it makes it easier for publishers to offer games in these regions.

I use a folder structure in Nextcloud where each “album” folder starts with YYYY-MM-DD so I can sort them alphabetically. I delete the photos from my phone when I copy them to the Nextcloud folder. I can always look them up using the app. This is some manual work, but it has worked very well for long-term archival and it will still be organized and searchable on other platforms as long as they support files and folders.

For Kanban I use wekan, because it has more features. Nextcloud I host using snap, which I cannot 100% recommend because it sometimes has troubles upgrading to the latest version. Still, for me it causes less trouble than a manual install.

I don’t see how the gameplay helps with the programming tasks, and I don’t see how the programming tasks enhance the gameplay. Let’s assume the game is already finished, I think the game part would be improved by replacing the programming part with a simpler, more rewarding mechanic. And the programming part could be improved by getting rid of the gameplay, as it would remove distractions. Pulling off educational games that people actually want to play is notoriously hard because of conflicting goals. IMO you should aim for a more integrated experience with in-game “coding” and direct feedback.

The Witness

Except if you need banking apps etc which will refuse working when they detect a customized OS.

It appears the German scene is still afraid of torrents. Maybe the legal situation is different in Europe?
