this is fine until you need autotools which is worse than cmake

I understand that this is a big loss for the emulation community, but as someone who did a bit of romhacking during COVID, I found their moderation to be terrible and arbitrary.

it’s not really subjective, having a drm free download is like owning the thing, having it on steam is like borrowing it from someone fairly trustworthy, and having it on epic is like borrowing it from an asshole

you’re on a decentralised, federated social media website. why are you arguing that more centralisation is a good thing? the comparison you’re making is nonsense. you don’t need to download an app or sign up for an account to listen to music drm free or to play drm free copies of games. you download the thing at the point of purchase and then you own it and you can do whatever you want with it. and that includes launching it from steam, which I do with a lot of my drm free games

people in this thread have lost their damn minds. you can buy the game without DRM. that’s better than epic or steam

it’s still mostly red hat even for arm, though Cray (who still supply a lot of machines here in the UK) ship a horribly butchered version of SLES

typeset my thesis using latex, biber and zotero. Very painless, the only slightly painful part was configuring the character encoding

irrelevant to the thread, but it actually took only 3 years for clement atlee’s government to create the UK’s national health service

the vast majority of the internet is shit, it’s a slurry of Content from content farms designed to top google search results or go viral on social media. if all that were to disappear then the internet would absolutely become a better place

I bought a 3700x in 2021 and after 2 years of my computer randomly powering off (and replacing my PSU, ram and GPU in that order) I replaced the CPU and found that the problem was fixed. I sent the CPU back to AMD and they confirmed it was defective and issued a replacement. I haven’t had a random poweroff since.

perhaps I am just unlucky, but I think I’ll take my chances with intel

on ‘funding the nhs’: his shadow health secretary says he will employ privatisation to reduce NHS waiting lists: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-59910107

incidentally he also accepted £175000 from donors linked to private healthcare and health insurance firms: https://www.thenational.scot/news/24250557.wes-streeting-takes-175k-donors-linked-private-health-firms
