This thumbnail sent me on a search to play Space Cadet pinball. I found a web version that works great! Space Cadet

Space Cadet Pinball is available as a Flatpak? There is still beauty in this world 😭

This actually works. It managed to boot Debian on an iPad Air. It’s really slow though.

Jup, still no JIT allowed on iOS, so it's interpreted.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They fact they can "allow" anything is the problem in full.

[–] narc0tic_bird@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

True, especially since JIT is even forbidden outside the App Store via (EU) side loading.

What generation iPad Air? I tried it on my phone and it only booted to Grub for some reason.

[–] rustydomino@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

If Apple can do it why the hell can't Nintendo.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 6 points 1 year ago

Apple does what Nintendon't.

[–] krippix@feddit.org 2 points 11 months ago

[–] obinice@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago
