It’s Base62 actually, misremembered that. It’s to avoid some special characters iirc. And no, performance is fine.

We’re using this: https://github.com/TheArchitectDev/Architect.Identities

Here’s the package one of our former developers created. It has some advantages and some drawbacks, but overall it’s been quite a treat to work with!

At the company I work at we use UUIDv7 but base63 encoded I believe. This gives you fairly short ids (16 chars iirc, it includes lowercase letters) that are also sortable.

My point is more that the sides aren’t symmetrical, but for twin-stick shooters it makes more sense if they are (which they are for DualSense).

For platformers you’re right, but for twin-stick shooters you’re using the shoulder buttons/triggers far more than the front buttons, and you are constantly using both sticks. And those happen to be fairly popular on PlayStation consoles.

Not Criticsquid, but Citricsquid! I actually remember the guys name after all these years and immediately saw the spelling mistake. A testimony to how influential he ended up being.

This sounds like a case of premature optimization to me. We have plenty of databases using strings as Ids and they’re all more than fast enough for any of our purposes. And that’s with considerable volume going through.

I’ve never seen bad performance from string ids be an issue.

I only really notice stutters in heavily modded Minecraft, where it’s clearly linked to the garbage collector. In more demanding games I don’t notice any stuttering really. Or at least, none that I can’t easily link to something triggering in the game that is likely causing it.

Sure, perhaps I have slightly lower average FPS compared to a 7800x3D, but I also use this PC for productivity reasons so there the extra oompf really does help. Still, 97% of a framerate that’s already way higher than what my 144Hz monitors support is still well above what my monitors support. I don’t think the performance difference is really noticeable, other than in certain benchmarks or if you try really hard to see them.

It’s considerably faster than a 5800x3D though.

Honestly with the 7950x3D being so powerful, you rarely notice it if a game isn’t fully utilizing it. I have one and I’m very pleased with it!

Conservative undertones? I’m curious why you think that. Could you elaborate?

There’s strong tones of anti-corporatism and a clear favour towards communal living. And the obvious “care-for-the-Earth” stuff. But I don’t think those are necessarily conservative. I could see the argument for Christian undertones, but more in the traditional “love thy neighbour” and “custodianship” sense.

Music locker services are frequenly targeted and taken down, as GlitterInfection mentioned. There’s multiple cases on the Wikipedia page.

There is a jump between hosting and sharing, but that jump is very small. Share it with 1 other person, and you have made unauthorised copies of the licensed material, and are therefore acting against the law. That’s not FUD, that’s been reality for the past few decades.

Whether or not the illegal sharing of licensed material is done via a generic website, a federated service of even carrier pidgeon doesn’t matter, an unlicensed copy is an illegal copy. Rightsholders have pleny of avenues to force a takedown against specific instances. And if they can successfully argue that the primary purpose of this software is piracy, they may even have enough legal arguments to force a takedown of the sourcecode.

Of course, the main question is whether rightsholders will bother with this as long as it remains small-scale. Legal costs would likely outweigh the missed income. But that doesn’t actually shield you from legal liability.

They would be able to sue the webhost in order to retrieve basically all the data if they have strong and reasonable suspicions that the website is hosting copyrighted material.

This really isn’t as foolproof in legal terms unfortunately. With torrent websites there’s still some ambiguity as the website doesn’t host the copyrighted material, just the torrent files. But here the website itself is liable, painting a massive legal target on their backs.

ISPs can be compelled to share name/address information of anyone involved in publishing licensed material through the courts. Then they’ll summon you to stop or pay a fairly hefty fine.

At least in the Netherlands this would still constitute unauthorised copying of licensed material, and therefore be illegal.

That’s likely due to the Switch throttling itself a fair bit in handheld mode, to avoid overheating and spending too much battery power.

Running an emulator on Linux likely uncaps the performance.

Strange, it’s the exact opposite for me. Moon in dark mode, sun in light mode.

Chromecast support is on hold because F-droid doesn’t allow gms proprietary libraries: https://github.com/jarnedemeulemeester/findroid/pull/139

The creator deems theme music to be “annoying” so they won’t add it: https://github.com/jarnedemeulemeester/findroid/issues/105

So no dice, it seems.

Findroid does lack Chromecast support and theme music in the library it seems. Other than that it does look good!
