The only reason Switch emulation is as far along as it is is because they made a mistake with the hardware in the Switch’s 2017 model. As long as they don’t make a mistake like that again, they’ll probably be fine.

I’ve come across a few projects over the years where the ownership is transferred and it’s then loaded up with malware

See: The Great Suspender

The original developer sold the repo to a new, anonymous maintainer. The new maintainer abandoned the repo but continued updating the Chrome Web Store version of the addon. That version eventually got delisted by Google for including malware.

And I believe it’s being developed by some of the same people, too.

No problem. And all you need to do, really, is put a space between the link and the parenthese.

To your second point: possession of child porn is actually illegal in the US and many other countries.

In fact, depending on the country the instance is hosted in, it’s entirely possible that the people running an instance that hosts it could be arrested for not only possessing it (on their servers) but also distributing it (through their servers). (This is, in part, why YouTube has tried to crack down on videos that aren’t for children: they may be held liable for it.)

Wait, what did they redesign this time?
