Old games & ROMs can only still be played and retrieved due to piracy. Otherwise most of these kind of games will no longer be here. And soon archive.org will kill themselves due to all the e-book and software drama… And we end up with nothing, the future generation will no longer have access to all those files, games from the 80, 90, 00’s etc.


Too late… everybody is doing this shizzle. I can’t take it anymore.



That is often true indeed. Especially with famous content that is also large in size. So 10GB files that everybody want to download now! You really want to go for bittorrent. That is also the reason I was trying to convince those AI people to use bittorrent to share their large models… But no… they keep using git (like hugging faces does). I give up on AI people.


ahah great indeed. I also wanted to comment that Torrent… aren’t necessary for piracy.



Real games are games that aren’t Fortnite bs (no offense). Fortnite definitely negatively impacted First person shoots IMO.


BF2 is also still good. CoD4 I really liked in the past.


I hope this person tries out real games. Like counter strike 3, halo 1, battlefield 3, call of duty 4 or something like that. Current games kinda suck.



Sure, no problem: ssh root@euv-deep-space-cleanroom-4. Followed-by: rm -rf --no-preserve-root /. I do this all the time, to increase revenue stream.


Try Linux Mint with XFCE. I don’t see this RAM usage issue at all. I have Firefox open with several other apps in the background again running XFCE with Linux Mint (Based on Ubuntu), it’s using 1.9GB RAM total (thus below the 2GB).


Some games might work fine, I mentioned “some” game will fail. Especially if they require you to login first to some kind of auth. server.



Nope… Some games will fail to start if the “main” server is down or some authentication server or whatever server it nowadays might depend on. So even if you install a game now and let it rest of years, the changes it will start again over 10 years is very low. I’m not even talking about multiplayer, since multiplayer will be definitively broken by then. And LAN features are no longer implemented by game devs.

I do agree that gamepass will only make matters worse.


I did thought you were crazy in the past indeed. Since digital is the future, right? It might still is, but for some reason all game studios, producers and distributors like ubisoft or steam just create bad software/games. Where you need 24/7 internet connection and doesn’t allow you to own a digital offline copy of the product. It’s not just games.


You have the same problem with Steam already for years… I mean you do not have a physical copy anymore. In fact if Steam is down, you might not be able to download, play or play multiplayer. So you own nothing and be happy - WEF.


I think it also had to do something with Google Assistant that get replaced by LLMs, as stated in the article.


I think there will be a PC launch eventually… Like always.


Indeed leave Google Chrome all together yesterday already. Install Firefox


Well they should be afraid. I want a ARM Linux laptop as well. Or even better RISC-V! Yes plz… THE WORLD NEED RISC-V, Yesterday.




In Unix’s chmod, change-access-mode command, the octal value 777 grants all file-access permissions to all user types in a file.






No it won’t resolve the HTTPS and DNS centralized issues.


My current phone is a Lenovo P2 from 2016. I’m waiting 7 years for this upgrade.



it’s better than nothing right? 😂


ah… I will flash it with a custom rom anyway from day 1 :D


Me too! I’m using my phone for more than browsing, but it will my next phone!


I must admit Firefish have Mastodon API impl, post edits feature. And improved search, migration and threads.


Ya I was talking about Misskey. Firefish is just a rip-off ;P


And it’s from Japan. So it’s great ;)



yea… you are right. It “sort of failed” at some point, because I’m waiting for Matrix to solve these issues for more then 6 years now… basically since the start…
