I heard netbsd runs on anything, even toasters.

Does that mean it runs well on laptops too?

It runs as well on a laptop as it runs on a toaster.

The Mach kernel started as a derivative of a BSD kernel. Years later the XNU kernel was created by combining the Mach kernel with code from newer BSDs, therefore it's totally fair to describe macOS as a BSD. From my very limited exposure to BSD conferences, using Macs is pretty common there as many developers see their community-developed BSDs more for headless use they SSH onto.

What confuses me: Why would the "Russian law" not cover Russian funding of media influence?

woelkchen ,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

It’s called Russian law because it is from Russia (both content and the directive)

But Russian influence would be banned, too, no?

If we are to learn from experience, Russia should start invading Georgia days after the end of the Paris Olympics. Mark my word

Russia invaded Georgia in 2008 and since then occupies parts of Georgia. You're a bit late with your prediction.

The code compiles 1:1 back into a unable ROM but isn’t made just using a source code leak. It is reverse-engineered just like the SM64 decomp

Decompilation means it's still derived from copyrighted source code. It's not a clean-room implementation where one person analyzes the engine, writes documentation about details of that engine, and a completely different person writes a new engine. It's not even a grey area. The correct procedure is clear ever since back in the day "IBM compatible" were created.

If it were up to me, copyrights would work like patents: After 25 years they're void and people would be completely in the clear to decompile, modify, and redistribute old games. Sadly that's not the reality.

Nintendo has not taken action on the massively popular SM64 Decompilation and PC ports (and ironically switch ports) in the past what…3 years?

Nintendo hadn't taken action against ROM sites for even more years (I was able to download NES, Game Boy, and SNES ROMs in the 1990s) and then decided to make an example of only one in 2019. Just because something is not on the radar of lawyers in Japan right now, doesn't mean a law suit over millions could not come any day.

It looks like the project is really careful not to include copyrighted materials in their distribution.

Source code automatically generated from copyrighted binary code is a derivative of copyrighted code, though. It's like taking a copyrighted book and running it through Google Translate and then clean up the sentences manually. You could be lucky that a publisher might not care about a translation into Icelandic but if you were to auto-translate a French version of a book into English and try to distribute it in the US, you'd probably get in trouble even if you leave out all graphic artwork.

In a sane country there would be laws to prevent this monopoly shit.

The problem is that Microsoft is no monopoly in gaming.

woelkchen OP ,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

Their gaming division isn’t a monopoly, but with their parents funding yeah they could be and that’s the problem.

I agree it's a problem but without Microsoft being a monopoly in gaming, no watchdog will do anything about it.

woelkchen OP ,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

So you want to do something about it after they are a monopoly?

Me? Why me? You were talking about countries and I was explaining that countries don't apply monopoly laws to non-monopolies.

Microsoft is buying up companies to stockpile IP. Simple as that.

And then they do nothing with that.

Their history is full of hold my beer and EEE.

Is it still EEE when they're shooting themselves in the foot all the time? Xbox 360 had a good run but then during the cycle they dropped the ball and even got overtaken by PS3 late. One and Series S/X don't matter that much.

The gaming division isn't. Last good ride was Xbox 360.

I linked the source in addition to the screenshot. I gave all the context.

woelkchen OP ,

it would have been better to have it in the screenshot is all.

I was not in a position to do image editing at that moment to properly align context and bot comment. It was literally just screengrab and Ctrl+V.

I don't think big companies know how to make a good FPS campaign anymore, let alone hone in on classic deathmatch multiplayer. The last FPS I bought was Half-Life: Alyx four years ago, and the first one to come along and interest me since then was Phantom Fury, but I'm letting that one iron out bugs for a few weeks before I...

I had an Xperia XZ Premium once. Got fooled by their AOSP commitment only to later find out that their camera sensor comes with DRM and installing a ROM will result in severely degraded photo quality.

factoids

Factoids are wrong to begin with, just like claims that coal ash is significantly radioactive.

I'm not defending coal energy. It's a repeated and factually wrong claim from nuclear power proponents that trace radiation that is more concentrated in ash is somehow on par or even worse than nuclear waste or catastrophes. Just because that claim is wrong doesn't automatically result in coal ash being fine and dandy.

woelkchen ,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

replacing them with coal

That's not what https://www.agora-energiewende.de/daten-tools/ein-jahr-kernkraftausstieg is saying. Lignite ("Braunkohle") -29TWh, hard coal ("Steinkohle") -26TWh. A big factor of dealing with the evolved situation are much fewer energy exports (-23TWh).

Rocky is part of the community.

Rocky Linux is part of the Fedora community? WTF?

woelkchen OP ,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

Crazy… so much about the best Distro, huh?

IMO Fedora is still a great distribution, IMO even the best for beginners. Just because certain Gnome-affiliated people are insufferable doesn't change that (at least not for now). From my point of view it would have been completely fine to discuss that, hold a vote, and if Gnome comes out on top, then fine. But with the changing landscape with Steam Deck and with it more development resources flowing into KDE technologies and also many more mainstream people having their first Linux desktop contact through Steam Deck's Desktop Mode (=KDE Plasma), I think it's totally fair to hold a discussion, similar to when Debian discussed Gnome vs Xfce years ago and Gnome came out on top because of offering the best accessibility features.

woelkchen OP ,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

Lol GNOME vs XFCE, that was absolutely the right decision XD

GNOME is worlds better.

And that decision wasn't about which is better liked by the majority. It was (I'm paraphrasing) "the default shouldn't put up hurdles for people with disabilities. Gnome supports accessibility techs X, Y, Z. Xfce only tech X." That's an objective metric. The same metric could still hold up for Gnome vs Plasma. Gnome might be ahead in that regard. I don't know the current state. I know that years ago (Plasma 4.x days) adding a Japanese IME under Fedora Gnome was super easy thanks to PackageKit integration of the IME settings of Gnome while under Fedora's Plasma session it was pretty much all manual configuration. Best out of the box accessibility is a metric I would wholeheartedly support even though my personal interest would prioritize gaming performance over screen readers because I simply don't need the latter.

They wanted to write a Mac interface

macOS windows have minimize buttons and a dock that's not just visible when opening a launcher.
