Cloudflare work on some cool stuff! It's a shame they don't hire for software engineer positions in Australia.

> I feel like it would be a lot more straightforward if people just came out and said that they think piracy should be legal. I don't think Yuzu advocates are actually advocating p…

I understand your argument, and perhaps a similar one will be made to the courts. For some people, if a tool has a single legitimate user, and otherwise haa illegitimate users, the…

I think MyFedora is suggesting that even if Yuzu's primary usecase is piracy, that's because it's so difficult to use Yuzu in the legit manner (due to Nintendo's DRM on the console…

The only comment of someone saying they had used Yuzu for piracy has been flagged, and is no longer visible. This might HN readers a skewed perspective on how much Yuzu is used for…

I like the signal-to-noise ratio of interested commenters searching for related posts. I fear something automated would be too spammy for most posts.

Sometimes when I load Twitter, even to view a single, it requires sign in. I don't know why it sometimes does and sometimes doesn't.

Yes, that's it. I don't want an account.

+1. I wasn't happy to have to use Nitter to access Twitter, but I accepted it. I'm not jumping through any more hoops for Twitter. Random Twitter links become random FB/Medium/Link…

The bar for writing in games is surprisingly low. I'll not mention any in particular, but IME even games noted for their writing have generic stories. Maybe there's something in th…
