We should probably change it to "American style capitalism" as the behaviour seems to have either originated or mainlined in America first. But it's seen in most global and domestic software companies around the globe today.

If you have to know... Mostly Skyrim as of late . Been thinking of doing some questionable content at some point with a few friends

I have 2 PCs

my main one is full AMD running hyprland -5800X, 7900XTX, 32GB ram, etc.

My second PC is solely used for streaming and is running an old GTX 1070 for encoding purposes.

From what I can see, I've not really had any issues running hyprland on it. Though I will admit it doesn't do much beyond running Carla, OBS, Qpwgraph, Firefox, discord and jack_mixer on specially designated workspaces. And it streams soley via EVGA Xr1 Lite capture devices. It does have desktop-portal-hyprland, just in case I want to capture my stream PCs desktop, but I don't really use it much. It's connected as a second input to my secondary monitor, and has a mirrored display on a small touch screen so I don't have to swap monitor inputs too often, and can trigger scene changes with just a touch. The hardest part was getting the monitors to play nicely, as the touchscreen sits upside down.

Full specs of my second PC, as it's quite old - Intel Core i5-4690, ASRock H97M pro4, 16GB Ram, EVGA GTX 1070, Intel 120GB SSD, 1TB WD Green 5400rpm HDD.

It's like the XP olive theme with the vista/7 style widgets sidebar - all you need is the RPM style CPU usage gauges.

Hey, that counts in my book!

Yes it was, but in some ways Nintendo still succeeded In what I believe is their goal - to scatter the developers.

By shutting down Yuzu, they fragmented everyone into forking their own copies and competing to become the next Yuzu.

What's more of a threat to them? One emulator with thousands of contributors, or 1000 emulators with 2-5 contributors each?

The best thing about open source is the pooling of developers and resources. While forking is neither a good nor a bad thing, it does tend to break up the developer pool.

It could take anywhere from months to years if at all for everyone to finally settle on a single fork and get back to the level of developer pool that originally existed - then if that happens, Nintendo can come along and do it all over again, at least untill they don't see the value in continuing.

True just look at how long project64 v1.6 has been around

Yep all you need to do is find a copy of the firmware (you actually can get the latest firmware from the internet archive) and the decryption keys (they're a little bit more difficult to find, can't remember where I got them from, but it took a long time for me to find a working download)

I recognise that internet router on the right. That looks like the "smart router" Telstra gives their customers - we have one we used to use back when we had Telstra cable. It's currently playing the duty of an Ethernet switch for dad's office.

I finally switched to AMD on my main desktop. Holy crap does it just work. I went straight for hyprland over my previous XFCE based desktop.

I enjoy tinkering so having some programs that just work and some that need a little push is great for me. Gaming is pretty easy these days - games that straight up don't run I just don't buy, and protonDB or even the proton issue tracker and wineDB for tips and tricks.

However with DEs I tend to set one up, and keep it how I set it up. I had XFCE for a total of 3 years with no changes. Hopefully I can do the same with Hyprland. I usually only try a new one when reinstalling Linux.

In a same but more drastic vein, you'd have to chop me up and shit In my corpse before I switch back to windows on my home PCs, it's bad enough I have to use win10 at work imo (I ain't installing win11 there untill I'm forced to)

Netflix should've realised this would be the end result. The moment you needed 5-6 different streaming platforms to watch all the movies and tv shows you want, was the moment it became easier and significantly cheaper to pirate the content.

None of the big companies that decided to cash in ever stood a chance.
