When will people learn that GitHub isn’t the place to put code that was previously removed from there?

Nintendo will be playing Whack-A-Mole with Yuzu forks and Switch emulators forever.
I hope these developers can continue to waste Nintendo's time and money even more.
A company like Nintendo definitely has a law firm on retainer. They're paying them whether or not they're being used. There's no waste of money happening by going after "IP violations."
A waste of time and energy, perhaps. But the lawyers are getting the same money whether they do this or nothing at all.
Is it really a waste of Nintendo's time and money if they keep winning?
Them issuing C&D after C&D costs their legal team time and money they could be using to, idk, trademark new IPs or license third parties for libraries and music. It also hurts their PR.
maybe in theory, but the Nintendo coffers wont be running dry any time soon.
Nintendo? New IPs?
Why aren't Nintendo bothering ryujinx like this?
Yuzi provided means to grab keys and firmware from a Switch console, which seems to be a big red flag and a reason why Nintendo went after them. Sudachi also has guides and download links for decryption keys and Switch firmware. From what I can see ryujinx only provides some guides on how to get the keys from a Switch but no apparent download links or "shortcuts"
Besides, we should not be pointing fingers at emulator devs. Companies are not your friend, we're just a means to profit for them.
It's also suspected that Yuzu was not "clean room" reversed engineered and built on code that they shouldn't have had access to, which will allow Nintendo to pull down any fork of Yuzu but not Ryujinx.
Is Sudachi a Yuzu fork?
