The problem is that people in this thread are in the mindset that tipping encourages lower wages, when in reality, low wages encourage tipping. The US has an absurdly low minimum wage relative to the cost of living, and that minimum wage of $7.25 has an exemption for tipped employees who can earn as little as $2.33 an hour. While it's true that many states have higher minimum wages than the federal wage, there are several that are the same as federal.
I don't like this mindset, because while there are plenty of businesses, billionaires, and governments that keep burning coal to keep their cash flowing, there's plenty of scientists, activists, engineers, governments, and organizations that are making a difference. We shouldn't be discrediting the hard work of people who are trying to save us or at least delay doomsday.
It's also possible that they wouldn't win against Ryujinx. There's evidence of Yuzu devs sharing roms with each other to test out games, so it's possible that they settled to avoid discovery.
This is probably in a legal grey area in the US. The Yuzu case was settled out of court because Nintendo had dirt on the team behind it, so it's unclear whether a judge would rule that this kind of circumvention is legal.
GitHub has to comply with the DMCA. You wouldn't have a case against them if you wanted to sue.
Literally every repo that got DMCA'd had an opportunity to fight back, and they chose to cave instead. I don't see why repositories going down is a reflection of GitHub's ethics.
Didn't the first guy's family talk about how he was depressed out of his mind and barely knew the woman who made those claims?
You can blame Boeing for abusing and causing mental and ultimately physical deterioration of their QA staff. You can't blame them for faking suicide or giving someone pneumonia.
I still personally think that criminal charges need to be filed against their managers or coworkers, even if it's not for murder.
Can't speak for the UK/EU, but in the US, there's a long history of state governments trying to disenfranchise minority voters, especially in the South where slavery was legal for longer. This was accomplished in the past with so-called "literacy tests," and more recently by closing certain polling booths or understaffing them. Since millions of Americans don't have IDs that fit strict standards, many see these voter-ID laws as another form of disenfranchisement.
