Uhhhhh, Big Tech can and does also exist in Europe, Blaze. We need people switching to FOSS and non-profit software, but switching from American proprietary software to European proprietary software as a stopgap at least plausibly makes things somewhat better – owing to better regulations.

The Dixie Chicks did 9/11.

I like my shitposts to run the gamut from as understandable and easy as possible to obscure shit 30 people will get.

I show them, I’ll record everything.

That’s a common urban legend. The studies following the participants and scanning their brains simply stopped once the patients turned 25. This got warped and bastardized into “the brain stops developing at 25”.

Some crabs can swim.

Hey, OP, do you have any thoughts about putting your app on F-Droid?

So basically anything that makes it more useful than just doing it yourself.

Not even close, but okay.

Dude fuck off.

Don’t forget cozying up to a nuclear-armed madman who’s ruthlessly invading your neighbor and wants to take you next and then threatening to leave the defensive pact that keeps you all safe from said madman.

No need to beat around the bush: the movie’s core premise is that “eugenics good”. It’s really a shame that people (who probably haven’t watched it at all or in a long time) hold it in such high regard.

The great thing about RISC-V if you care about sovereignty in an age where CPUs run the world is that it’s an open standard. Contrast this with x86 which is owned in some part by US-based Intel and some part by US-based AMD as well as ARM which is owned by Japanese-owned, UK-based Arm Holdings. If you want to use x86, you’re shelling out license money to Intel and AMD, and if you want to use ARM, you’re shelling out license money to Arm Holdings. You never truly “own” what you’re producing.

Fun facts:

1. Yes, that is a framed picture of a spoon.
2. This is because the props people went down to a nearby furniture store and got whatever they needed, but they never replaced the stock photos inside with anything.
3. There are multiple shots in this movie featuring framed pictures of spoons.
4. It’s a tradition at live screenings of The Room to hurl spoons at the screen during scenes where these are visible.

Bruh what? 💀 I chose the highest-profile and arguably best emulators for each major system, let alone that almost every other modern one uses GitHub too. If all of these emulators are flying under the corporate radar, I will deliberately inject myself with rabies and die a slow, agonizing death. I couldn’t come up with this shit if I got cross-faded on meth and fentanyl.

Legitimately shocked that this abject fucking nonsense got three upvotes. Want to know how I know Sony knows PCSX2 exists? Two former PCSX2 developers are working on “ports” (read: shitty, subpar emulation) of PS2 games to the PS5. They got their jobs because of their work on PCSX2.

Edit: I’m going to go off a bit more, actually, because I’m sick of living in an era where zero-information dipshits can just say any unresearched, unsubstantiated bullshit online and put it into immediate contention with obvious, demonstrable facts presented with sourcing by a subject matter expert:

• I’ve included a Wikipedia article where applicable; these articles will often have links to these emulators being discussed in popular gaming outlets.
• This doesn’t even count emulators like Snes9x, PCSX-Reloaded, and Project64 which are no longer top-of-class but which have their own Wikipedia articles, were wildly popular in their day, and host their code on GitHub.

Just a reminder don’t have emulators on GitHub.

I don’t like GitHub, but this is simply untrue. We host the PCSX2 project on GitHub, and GitHub even donated some amount at one point to the project. The following major, top-of-class video game console emulators (non-exhaustive) are officially hosted on GitHub:

Keep in mind that I’ve only chosen what I believe is the top one or one of the top ones from major consoles. If I could pick multiple per console, this list would be a mile long.

Correct, you’re not required to swear on the Internet. That’s why there are a trillion other words to use if you’re not comfortable with it. “This kind of stupid packing foam.” “This kind of annoying packing foam.” “This kind of obnoxious packing foam.” If you want to say “fucking”, then you can just say “This kind of fucking packing foam.” The censorship is useless and distracting. Commit to the word you want to say or use another word; nobody’s going to punish you for swearsies here, and nobody’s going to punish you for not swearsies.
