A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Guess what? This will make them stronger. Suyu's GitLab repo was already DMCA'd, after that they set up their own Forgejo instance. They also get their website running again (It was down for a few days, I don't know the reason) and they're now strong and independent. Moving away from Discord will only increase their independence.
I wonder if the codeberg site is vulnerable to such laws. I think they operate from the EU.
Germany specifically
They're based in Germany, so it should be fine. But I think they said at some point that they don't want any trouble with DMCA code.
Suyu died though. Right now the only actively maintained Yuzu fork is Sudachi, which is only maintained by a single person.
Apparently there was some drama about the Yuzu devs using code which came from a switch SDK as a basis for emulator code, which kind of poisons the whole codebase.
