1983 was a uniquely American event. Japan and Europe were unaffected, and as no Japanese consoles had any success in the US at the time they wouldn’t have aimed for an American release anyway, while Europe only bought computers.

Dear Video Games Europe!

Bullshit.

Best Wishes,

It would make sense that they don’t want to get sued following the recent controversy. Might also be aimed at undermining the AI slop (that Google doesn’t profit from)

Now it’s just 20k

Probably not, they don’t provide copyrighted files and Nintendo reeeeeaaaally doesn’t want to create precedent that decomp is fair use (which it probably is) which could make emulators 100% legal.

I think the other aspect is that we have the statistics now. I would assume that the PS2 had more monthly users than the PS3 for quite a long time maybe even up to the PS4. Same with the Wii and WiiU and going farther back quite possibly the NES than the SNES, SNES than the N64, C64 than the Amiga, etc.

The US government doesn’t (to my knowledge at least) have copyright protections so MIT wouldn’t be possible. BSD 0-Clause is just better because e.g. Austria doesn’t allow you to cede copyright to the public domain and CC0 directly mentions the public domain in the terms of the license.

It’s licensed under CC0 to anyone wondering. BSD 0-Clause would probably be better but still fantastic.

I use Fedora btw

I’m wasting untold amounts of optical media on trying to install a FOSS OS on an iMac G5. PPC64be is a pain in the ass nowadays

They’re gonna steal them next!

I have two 5 1/4" drives in a PC, one doing Bluray XL and the other Bluray and HD-DVD (altough I couldn’t test that feature because nothing supports them anymore and a lot of HD-DVDs are dead from disc rot)

Because of the way those captions are stored VLC has to use OCR to convert the .SRT file (which basically stores low resolution b/w images I assume to easier allow for different alphabets) to normal text. I don’t know why the open source solutions are so bad at this (especially considering how good the proprietary solutions seem to be) but I had similar problems ripping a DVD. I would assume that had he turned off the special font VLC uses for the subtitles and instead just seen the raw data there wouldn’t have been a problem. Why VLC doesn’t enable this by default (/ have this) I don’t know.

Pain and suffering (aka an arrays base index is one)

Yes, they are. I only run LLMs locally and Deepseek R1 won’t talk about Tiannamen square unless you trick it. They just implemented the protection badly.

Depends on what software. Anything that happens in the browser works. A lot of other software can be run using Wine. There is some software which still has problems especially when using USB ports as serial ports etc. and a lot of subpar software (un)fortunately just doesn’t work because of it being badly programmed.

There are many safe open source options. If you need help there are ample resources available. If you want to you can also DM me.

Yes, stuck. There are enourmous problems with different institutions having to use ancient PCs because the software doesn’t work on modern ones, be they electron microscopes, hospitals or industrial machinery, causing e.g. enourmous security issues. This is one of the most important reasons why FOSS and why making FOSS software mandatory in government contracts is so important.

Also how come people can’t read the fucking article before commenting?

Don’t even fucking notice him anymore. He’s just everywhere. Making chemical weapons.
