Seriously what is this? Nintendo argues that by instructing users how to extract the prod.keys from their own switch the yuzu developers are essencially infringing on the DMCA.

So what? Now you can't even freely use your own property anymore because it goes against the design intentions of some big company that just want's to milk their users?

Nintendo goes directly after this argument in its lawsuit, arguing that buying a Switch game only means you "have Nintendo's authorization to play that single copy on an unmodified Nintendo Switch console."

It costs a lot more money than most Americans have available, especially if wanting to move to the EU or Canada and want to work.

I can speak Mexican Spanish and have considered moving there. The biggest obstacle are the Americans who want a cheap version of the US and are essentially colonizing these towns.

If I move to Mexico (or any other country), I want to experience that culture, not displaced American consumerism.

I sympathize with the money issue. But thats also why I intentionally said it would be good if peeps with well paying jobs/skills move away because

a) they can set an example without ruining themselves b) the absence of top talent will make much bigger waves then others which might change the course over time c) the economy needs to break for the system to change which will go faster if people who drive it leave

Obviously, folks with minimum wage are in dire need of help but I dont have a solution to this just yet. The most manageable seems to be the above atm.

The only alternative I see is mass strike which might lead to looting when people need to decide between striking and eating. So a massive escalation that I cant seriously suggest.

The people who have the means to just uproot everything and move to another country on a whim are probably not the same people who are struggling to live here, and so the incentive there is to not really care because they're comfortable where they are.

We aren't really taught to give much of a shit about our fellow citizens here. There isn't any kind of social cohesion, it's everyone for themselves. We saw the US's true colors when we tried to get everybody vaccinated.

Yes indeed. All true statements imo. My mother also has this in her personality, growing up in the US. Dont look, dont care. Cruel if you see other families (especially southern european) treat their family and friends like the best thing in the world.

The issue I see is that being comfortable today doenst mean you‘re safe. If you make 100+k a year and get fired to bolster the stock price is not comfortable. You can have the same standard of living with 80k in germany and have social security and workers rights on top. The language is also becoming a lot less of a barrier for IT folks.
