Wait why are distros removing HEVC?

A Steam library view with shelves of boxes would be so cool. Sorta like what GOG has

Haven’t owned a cartridge system since I lived under parents and yeah, it was the same for me, turn it off when you’re done using it because it’ll drive the power bill up and money doesn’t grow on trees and all that. I can’t imagine systems like the SNES or N64 really drew that much power though? But as a tree hugger and an engineer, I tend to avoid any level of waste. I doubt cartridges suffer from any significant wear from being left on, since they’re just solid state electronics.

Anything with a fan gets immediately turned off when my session ends because I’m hyper sensitive to fan noise (not sure if this is an autism thing?)

Trying to think of more ways they could make this absurdly annoying:

• If the alarm has been playing for too long, start playing the low health sound effect from Zelda
• If you have one minute left before you need to leave for school/work, play the “almost out of time” jingle from Super Mario
• Navi

It drives me nuts when Linux applications do this. Delete features should be analogous to rm, simple as that.

KDE recently added an “extract and delete archive” context menu option and it’s absolutely useless because it moves the archive to the Trash folder

As if money actually goes to the content creators 😂

Someday we’ll learn that GitHub just isn’t the place for this kind of stuff…

That’s what I’m getting at, Nintendo only needs the argument “this could be used to rip a game onto the cartridge, then distribute it” and US courts will bend over and grant them the DMCA strike

Someone help me understand the feature to lock a game to the cartridge - does this mean it copies the game data into the SNES cartridge so you don’t need the GameBoy cart anymore? If so, this could give Nintendo’s lawyers enough power to shut this project down, which would be very sad

Yet another reminder that piracy on Linux is the way because new files don’t have execute permissions by default

Sure this is sad, but what even breaks in these? They’re single board computers inside plastic shells. Of course the controllers can break/wear out but those are easily replaceable

If you’re referring to the weight of the housing leveraging the connector, I think printing with a low infill would make that a non-issue. The cable itself is going to be much heavier by comparison

This is a much more involved method than just seeding everything you download to at least a 1.0 ratio, but if you’re extremely resource-limited, then sure

I mean, as an engineer, I can tell you that sort of group solving DOES happen in meetings sometimes, but it’s the speed they do it at in the show that’s unrealistic. At the same time, slowing it down would make for bad television so idk

This thread is news to me. Unicode is Unicode, no? Why restrict to Latin letters?

I wouldn’t count on it since kids are their target market. I highly recommend taking matters into your own hands (lol) and buying adult-sized joycons with Hall effect sticks

Very cool. Much better than what I do with my friends, which is post a message on Discord saying “🥊 react for movie A, 🐱 react for movie B, etc.”

The lawsuit dance has already been done. Can’t sue over decompiled code, but they can sue over assets, so anyone who wants to actually play something made with a decompilation has to supply a “legal” ROM that’s rightfully “theirs” for the assets to be sourced from
