Video games always used to be an economic way of entertainment. With an amount equal to a restaurant dinner you could be entertained for hundreds of hours.

Nowadays, video games follow the trend of enshitification. Low quality, repeated material, bad gaming experience, data hoarding, the need to be always online even for a single player game and of course, the “you don’t own, we can take it away anytime we want” mentality.

According to the court rulling, if you essentially want to play retro games, you should find a way to access the original hardware and run the software in mostly proprietary mediums like cartridges that could be damaged or corrupted. And the reason you can’t do it is because you may actually have fun!

This ruling is so bongers it blows my mind.

So you should never, ever ever

1. Use emulators like Retroarch
2. Find the ROMs of various systems you like in various “archives” through the interwebs for research purposes ofcourse
3. Use a frontend like ES-DE or launchbox to make things look beautiful.
4. Scrape content through screenscraper or something similar to make your frontends even more beautiful. 5.Keep in mind that this combo ( Retroarch + frontend) works in mostly cross platform (windows, Linux, android etc.)

After all, as a researcher you have to be able to tinker a little bit.

Enjoy your research ;)

Thankfully I could use my Plex “streaming service” to have all the Pokémon seasons in one place

this ☝️. Those of us who remember what happened then, understand the potential dangers of federating with a juggernaut like META.

We should tread lightly!

If I may ask, how did you do the automations with Home assistant?

I have bought a lot of Sonoff products myself. The temperature/humidity sensors work excellent and on the spot. On the contrary the door sensors (2 out of 3 )tend to disconnect. The same goes for the motion sensors.

I ll try my luck with the aqara sensors.

Once there was Vanced and now there is Re-Vanced. (if you're on Android)

that’s possibly the best explanation of the difference between a corporate social or other media and a decentralised open source one.

Thank for helping me fight my Social Media addiction. You guys made it look easy

That’s an insane stat. As a Reddit immigrant, I would love to know the percentage of those who posted on Reddit and/or were mods, have migrated as well. That would correlate with the increase of posts in Lemmy, as well as the degredation of content on Reddit. Let’s see how this goes.
