4. They seem to not understand their own case. The case claims to be about overcharging gamers but the actual case details seem to point to being about overcharging developers

1. Good point IF PROVABLE. I question how well you could actually prove this in court, so they are setting themselves up for failure by letting the case become dependent on this point
2. Not feasible to have platform-independent dlc at the moment without an inconvenient solution
3. Literally almost everyone uses the 30% standard. If they want that changed they should push for legislation that sets an industry maximum because from my understanding the court can’t do shit if there’s no real precedent for a this

You make it sound like it's a massive job or really expensive. Yes, it does take a few hours initially setting everything up, but then it's like a few hours a year running a server with DNS, email, web and gitlab. Hosting somewhere sure also cost a little bit if you don't have a permanent IP at home, but for a small server it's maybe 10 € per month. I say it's always worth it to avoid all the problems of using someone else's server. DNS especially is dead simple and there is no reason anyone even slightly technically competent should not run their own server. You can even do it on a dynamically assigned IP. That way you avoid all the spying and censoring.

Of course it's not for everyone and their grandmother but this thread was about people trying to develop an emulator and if you can program on that level you really should be able to set up your own Gitlab server or I am definitely going to question your competence.
He just said "not everyone" referring to the same people who forked the main repo, the ones you were talking about, right?

It's clear that if you don't know how to setup a webserver and so on there's quite a time consuming difference between clicking a fork button and learning the skills needed to host your own service.
I really hate how the Linux community attitudes towards any problem for beginners is to tell them to just use their over complicated method and not be beginners. Nobody needs to know how to set up their own email server in the year 2024. You can if you want to. Nobody needs to know how to set up their own DNS. You can if you want to. That is an EXTREMELY UNREASONABLE bar for tech literacy

Quoting: GuestOh my goodness. My rage at Nintendo has no words. Why are they going after random GitHub repos and not people who are pro emulation like Linus Sebastian? Is it because they only go after people who can't fight back?
there’s a difference between suing an emulator and people who are pro emulation. (Usually) you can’t sue people for their opinions

Quoting: TeomyrI really don't understand why these people doesn't run their own Gitlab server (or similar) ?

It's not that hard and really should be for folks who can code like that. I administer a Gitlab server and sure it's frequent updates, but other than that it'a piece of cake. Just host it somewhere DMCA does not apply.

This issue is another good indicator why the "cloud" is not a good idea. It's just a fancy name for someone else's server. This goes for most things. Technically competent people should really have their own DNS, email etc. as Internet was originally designed.
not everyone has the time or resources to set up their own server, LET ALONE THEIR OWN DNS AND EMAIL. Edit: It’s easy for you because you administer one. That would be like a doctor wondering why people don’t do their own medical appointments because it’s easy for them
