yuzu Git (2018/02/18) is complied. yuzu is a work-in-progress Nintendo Switch emulator. yuzu is an open-source project, licensed under the GPLv2 (or any later version). yuzu has been designed with portability in mind, with builds available for Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Due to the similarities between Switch and 3DS, yuzu was developed as a fork of Citra. This means that it uses the same project architecture, and both emulators benefit from shared improvements.

However, as Switch reverse-engineering and homebrew development became popular, work on yuzu began to take off as well....More

Mexican artist Renato Garza Cervera sculpts freakish rugs in the form of skinned gang members.

"Years ago I was watching TV at the house of an ex-girlfriend," he told The Creators Project.

So I thought, 'That rug is quite anomalous: it’s not made out of a typical beast. It’s not a lion nor a tiger nor a bear. Those rugs apparently no longer represent fierce creatures, now they are endangered species: So what would nowadays be a beast or represent an animal-like, barbaric kind of bestiality?'"

The "skins" of the Latino male are tattooed with phrases connected to the MS-13 and 18th Street gangs of Los Angeles.

"They represent a group of Latin American and US-established societies who live in a difficult set of circumstances due to an odd system of political, economical, social issues, which are out of my reach and comprehension," Cervera says.

Things that were once dumb are now smart. At least that's the trend for home appliances as of late. Canary, the self-proclaimed world's first smart home security system, is launching today on Indiegogo and it might actually work.

If for whatever reason you need to use the latest Microsoft Windows 8.1 (or 8) fonts in Ubuntu and you don't have a Windows partition to copy the fonts, here's how to download and install them.

How to download and install the Windows 8.1 fonts in Ubuntu

1. Download Microsoft Windows 8.1 Preview ISO.




2. Install the tools required to extract the fonts from the Windows 8.1 ISO.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wimtools p7zip-full

3. Extract the Windows 8.1 fonts from the ISO

cd
7z x WindowsBlue-ClientwithApps-32bit-English-X1899604.iso sources/install.wim
cd sources/
mkdir tmp fonts
imagex mount install.wim 1 tmp
cp tmp/Windows/Fonts/{*.ttf,cambria.ttc} fonts
imagex unmount tmp

4. Optional: convert the Cambria font from TTC to TTF

sudo apt-get install fontforge

cd ~/sources/fonts/
fontforge -lang=ff -c 'Open("cambria.ttc(Cambria)"); Generate("cambria.ttf"); Close(); Open("cambria.ttc(Cambria Math)"); Generate("cambria-math.ttf"); Close();'

5. Install the Windows 8.1 fonts in Ubuntu


To install the Microsoft Windows 8.1 fonts system-wide, use the following command:

sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/fonts/truetype/win8.1
sudo cp ~/sources/fonts/*.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/win8.1/
sudo fc-cache -f -v

Or, to install the Windows 8.1 fonts for your user only, use the following commands instead:

mkdir -p ~/.fonts/win8.1
cp ~/sources/fonts/*.ttf ~/.fonts/win8.1/
sudo fc-cache -f -v
