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

❌ Can't be distracted by dumb, unimportant stuff like prosecution.

✅ Can be distracted by vital things like golf.

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.

Being pro-Hamas also wouldn't be a crime, even if it'd be an asinine stance.

The discoverers themselves refer to it as a backdoor, so frankly I don't know what you're on about accusing this article of misrepresenting their findings.

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.

Honestly, I've gone from not knowing who PCC is to hating her work for its mediocrity to subtly appreciating that sometimes what the world needs in the face of overwhelming AI slop and neo-Nazi comics is someone whose work may not be the best but who enjoys what they do, puts thought and effort into it, and makes the masses exhale through their nose.

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:

PlayStation:

Xbox:

  • xemu (Xbox)
  • xenia (Xbox 360) (previous Wikipedia article deleted)

Nintendo:

Sega:

Atari:

Misc:

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.
