Me too. Even "We updated our T&Cs" is too many.
I went on an account deleting spree:
* accounts where guest checkouts are an option: eBay, Mouser, bandcamp, booking.com
* accounts of once-used online stores
* old email accounts
* Amazon, Airtasker, Uber, frequent flyer, ...
I'm down to ~100 passwords in my password manager which is still too many, but good enough.
I don't think Yuzu advocates are actually advocating piracy.
I think they think an illegal use of a tool should not mean the tool is banned.
"Emulators don't pirate games, pirates do."
I think our echo chamber will surface views amenable to this viewpoint. Emulation news is quite literally hacker news.
But we deceive ourselves with such a bubble, when the outside world doesn't lean our way. Downplaying piracy usage doesn't do us any favours when trying to build an accurate model.
For some people, if a tool has a single legitimate user, and otherwise haa illegitimate users, then the tool should be allowed.
For others, if the tool is mostly used for illegitimate means, then the tool should be banned.
Where the law lands in this case will be partly based on these values, and the benefits/harms to all parties.
I don't know enough about the case, but I don't think it's as clear cut as a hammer.
This might HN readers a skewed perspective on how much Yuzu is used for piracy.
I have many acquaintances/friends in different circles, with the means to pay, who use Yuzu for piracy.
There are dedicated forums of people who coordinate on how to do this.
Emulation is great as a means to study or play backups, but its also fair that Nintendo has legitimate business interest in curtailing this.
IANAL, and have no idea how their case against Yuzu developers will go.
I fear something automated would be too spammy for most posts.
* What type of person uses this? I guess the intersection of people interested in composing and people able to typeset? I would have thought it wasn't that popular, but it has the polish of a popular tool. What am I missing?
* Do people typically use this to compose their own music, or are they recreating music they know?
* How similar is sheet music to source code? Does any software interpret it to output audio?
* Are there any open git repos where people collaborate on an open collection of sheet music?
* How expressive is sheet music? How constrained do you feel trying to convey your idea onto this format? Does it support abstraction, or making your own abstractions?
netlink is the API, and `ip` is the canonical CLI tool for interacting with the tool.
I use VLC on Android, and Amberol on Linux. They're both folder oriented, and stay out of the way.

Different people like different things. That's okay.
If Spotify diverted all that exec money to artists, I wonder whether the $0.003-$0.005 figure would change, or if that would be too only amount to <$0.0005 difference.
It might be fair to criticize Spotify's deal with rights holders of music, but the above line of critique doesn't hold so strong to me.
As it happens, $200k/year for an exec seems low?
Disclaimer: I don't use Spotify and instead manage my own collection.
I don't know why it sometimes does and sometimes doesn't.
I understand this is easy, and others won't mind doing this. That's fine.
I object to the idea of needing an account solely to read heavily linked, otherwise free, content.
Besides, my browser doesn't store logins/cookies, so it'd be another login I have to do on each session.

So be it, I guess? The content isn't that valuable to me anyway.
I only ~followed two people's content:
* Dan Luu, available on https://mastodon.social/@danluu
* Paul Graham, available on https://mas.to/@paulg but he doesn't post anymore. I'll live without this.
Three ways:
* It's the job of CEOs to advocate the benefits of what they're doing.
* Those things might be true, for them.
* Those things might be true, from a global perspective, even if there are some people who are worse off. White-collar workers might just be those people worse off.
I'll not mention any in particular, but IME even games noted for their writing have generic stories.
Maybe there's something in the medium that constrains stories? A story explored through the eyes of a protagonist with limited actions (repeated an abnormally large number of times), who you know will eventually succeed.
This news is a welcome win for labour laws.
But fair enough to those that want to curate their own local collection.
Full disclosure: I rely solely on my local collection, but I also think the loss of streaming is not a worry people should have.
Keep newborns to a schedule.
Don't worry too much, nothing is that difficult, it's just a lot of work, done on interrupted sleep.
Your child is only a newborn once, try to cherish the time when you have opportunity.
Welcome to the club. :)
But centralisation has a way of creeping in, so I wouldn't be surprised if a platform came about to attract podcast creators with convenient revenue streams, in the same way Substack has for blogs. There's opportunity on the table.
I dropped my Spotify subscription when it started getting exclusive rights on podcasts. A worrying trend.
Or maybe the open podcast world has enough momentum to remain decentralised? What would lead to the practical decentralisation of video? Peertube has not made a dent yet.
