Why is everyone crying blasphemy? Is there something I'm missing?
Re:Dolphin Mega Progress Report: July and August 2017

Dolphin, to me, is the model open-source project: constant improvements, total developer transparency, detailed documentation, and a lively community. It is the most reliable and most professional emulator out there, for any platform.

Seems to me this can be handled the way the open-source community always handles such drama: fork the repo a bunch of times. I'll probably start keeping local copies of filter lists as well.
Re:Why Do Developers Use Trivial Packages? An Empirical Case Study on Npm

I have no major gripe with NPM, but it does seem like the programmers who favor it don't even think about what they're calling. The way I see it, the more code you write yourself, the more code you understand easily.
