The motivation doesn't matter, you can't just describe hard power (bullying) and call it soft power.

Isn’t soft power just capitalist colonialism without guns.

No it isn't.

In politics, particularly in international politics, soft power is the ability to influence or persuade others through the use of persuasive means, as opposed to the use of force or coercion, which is an aspect of hard power. This process entails the strategic shaping of others' preferences through the use of appealing, non-coercive, and attractive means, using culture, political values, and foreign policies to enact change.

It's such a recent release I think the publisher is hedging Steam permitting mass refunds if servers go offline so soon.

Surely Spain of all places isn't going to extradite this guy.

Poor wording. The content of the filing is confidential, not the act of filing.

You seem to be suggesting that the release date of a single emulator is the starting point? We're not supposed to count the prior years? No one tried before that? There's no prior art that people can build on?

Lots of projects started and were abandoned. A brief search and I can find at least 2 public projects started over 5 years ago, and many more abandoned efforts.

You're totally right, it's just x86 so it'll be easy. That's why 13 years later they made so much progress on PS4 emulation.

PS4 is 13 years old and a tiny fraction of its games are considered "playable" in emulators so far.

Each generation has been exponentially more challenging to emulate than the previous, so don't hold your breath for reliable PS5 emulation.

The headline seems way off from the content. It talks about planned IPOs as the basis, and somehow a "time bomb went off" "in real time". What kind of chronology is that. I've read better AI generated stories than this dogshit click bait.

I can't believe the company effectively called themselves Best Western Hotels Hotels.

 

Since the project was shutdown I'm in need of a replacement, anyone found a reasonable fork or alternative?

Features I used:

  • Kobo proxy and 2 way progress sync
  • OIDC

I really am not interested in going back to Calibre.
