@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social The wild part is that this exploit was introduced in a firmware update in 2021, with seemingly no actual usecase other than to be exploited?

"As of 5.5.5, CA's crafted in a specific way may take a newly introduced alternate path for verification. This allows for a CA's signature to not be verified correctly. Instead, the Wii U simply checks if the CA matches one already known by the system, but not the signature or contents of the CA. We have no idea why this change was made, as it does not benefit Nintendo at all. It almost feels intentional."

Just say it's a labor dispute. "Stolen datasets" rings hollow if you're using ML upscalers, ML translation software, and ML face tracking software - most of whom have also been trained non-consensually and/or in violation of the expectations of the data's authors or rightsholders.

It's hard for me to agree with the current "AI" "art" hate train for this reason. Never seen as many people react to literal art theft than they do to LLM-generated content. I've heard of people complaining about "AI" on piracy websites which reproduce the work of independent artists they claim to stand with.

People are even complaining about usecases where using someone else's artworks en masse was already accepted - like inspiration/references. I don't understand - LLMs, to me, are best understood as highly imprecise/hallucinatory search engines, and I consider their output similarly "tainted" in a copyright sense.

Making the discourse about copyright will backfire. Adobe is already trying to get their LLMs cleared. Companies like Apple and Getty are in a position to. The thing about copyright law is that the house always wins.

It's a LABOR dispute. The problem is the erosion of creative LABOR, not copyright. Almost nobody minded the copyright violation potential (waifu2x, all the VTuber tracking programs derived from non-commercial use restricted datasets, etc) until the LABOR was threatened.

@HauntedOwlbear@eldritch.cafe We're releasing new DOS games made for the ZZT game engine from 1991, if that counts?

I think the two highlights are WiL's releases for the platform, though, which use a version of the engine modified so much they might as well count as new DOS games:

a Discord channel is having a drama
but I have real life friends over so I cannot participate in the drama
ask them politely to stop having the drama until my friends leave so I can participate
literally the next minute Discord servers crash againthank you Discord, I knew I could always count on you ❤️

In 2000, the WonderSwan received a web browser supporting a subset of HTML 3.2, tables, GIF files, reading Japanese text, bookmarks, and cookies - all on a handheld competing with the Game Boy Color.

From 2004, it no longer worked due to a missing gateway server. UNTIL TODAY.

I wrote a tutorial, so you can make it work again too, if you want!

It's up on my blog: https://blog.asie.pl/2023/08/browsing-the-web-wonderswan-2023/

... Apple? Is this the "Game Porting Toolkit" you've showcased at WWDC? Is that... Is that just WINE?

(There are things I could improve had I redone it, but sometimes it's better to use art you find not-terrible enough to post as a way to make yourself more comfortable with the idea of posting things you might not entirely be happy with...)
