That’s what I’m wondering.

I haven’t heard any reports of or seen any abuse for emulators like Xenia, RPCS3, Dolphin, Citra, etc. I wonder if this is something unique/specific to people finding out it’s Stenzek, or if it’s more widespread than we realize?

Personally, I do think non-permissive licenses aren’t nice, and I do think there should be criticisms, skepticism, and concerns to be voiced about that. At the same time, if it’s the owners project, he is free to do with it as he wishes. Then again, if something has a large enough of a community, you could argue that it’s no longer just their project. But I understand that if you want to prevent people profiting off of your work (and your contributors work), a no-commercial license does make sense. It’s a complex situation.

Sure, but hopefully that’s a very long time away, and there’s always piracy. Hopefully Gabe lasts for another 20 years or longer. Hopefully he has a high-quality person as a successor.

I remember when 9 million was a lot.

I remember when 1 million was a lot.

That is honestly the most true picture ever lol

Remember when everyone though the PS3 was insane at 599 US dollars?

That’s because it WAS insane at 599 US dollars lol that’s worth like $900 US dollars in 2024.

Yeah, people thought the PS3 was insane at 599 US dollars because it WAS insane at 599 US dollars lol

Still impressive imo, I have friends who work in IT who don’t even self-host lol

I like to call myself a professional idiot. I love tinkering with my homelab setup.

As someone with a strong tech background, that’s just impressive to me. It’s cool to see non-technical people are interested in self-hosting too, and for good reason.

Yeah companies found how expensive they can make retro gaming because there’s a high demand for real devices and real games. Not surprising.

You should go play the original, it’s great!

Honestly I like Mario 64 better but Sunshine was a lot of fun too.

Downloaded it right away anyway before it gets taken down lol since you never know

We would need all peasants doing it at once. One peasant doing it just means you get your head cut off, which unfortunately doesn’t help.

I’ve registered on a bunch of Lemmy instances, but I stuck with lemmy.ml because for the most part it seemed to have the least amount of downtime IME. Though I think they’re all pretty stable these days anyway.

What you said is very true though, it helps to try out and especially actively use alternatives, since that’s how you end up with software like Chrome (not really but kind of, you get the idea).

When I was younger, I used to think politics didn’t matter and that all politicians are crooks. Now I know that all politicians are crooks AND politics matters and has real-world consequences.

I may be biased, but I like Lemmy Infinite Scroller. It started out as a 20 minute project just as a proof of concept and then evolved into me trying to make an infinite scroller that works really well. It works well, I can’t recall if I made it open-source but I didn’t obfuscate the code or anything like that so it’s practically open-source anyway even if I didn’t make a repo for it. I just published the manifest v3 update of it last week so it’s pretty futureproof too.

Other obvious extensions are uBlock Origin, uMatrix, and surprisingly one called Dark Background and Light Text (though Dark Reader is also cool too).

Thankfully that’s one thing that can be restored between BIOS versions for my motherboard lol

Depending on your BIOS and/or motherboard, you can’t restore them between versions. The point of clearing the BIOS settings after flashing a new version is to ensure that you only have values that are expected, which is why restoring backups can often be blocked between versions.

Yay, another BIOS update!

I am getting so sick of all these BIOS updates because of all these security vulnerabilities all the time. It is so tiring having to set up my settings all over again all of the time. Earlier this year, or maybe it was last year, it felt like every month or two there was a new BIOS update for a new security vulnerability.

I think the bigger issue is Ernest simply refused outside help. He took everything on himself and didn’t allow outside contributions, which is just not sustainable for a project of that size. It’s a shame because I really wanted to like KBin, especially since it’s written in PHP and I’m a PHP developer, but Lemmy ended out winning.
