I mean, it’s hard to keep up with stacks you don’t work with. When I tell people what stack I use, I still get “Oh, Microsoft’s Java”

This is the JSON license all over again.

Cool. I just thrifted an iMac G5 the other day, excited about its PowerPC architecture, and I while I was driving back, I was wondering if the Wii U was the most powerful PowerPC computer.

I have to admit, for the most part, I’ve only beaten Square or Nintendo RPGs, but I’ve always actually thought the final bosses were disappointingly easy, except for FF3 (Pixel Remaster version).

Is the article formatted as one giant paragraph for anyone else? I have JS disabled.

AI article, too.

This is quite reductive of the situation. Android is not going anywhere, and neither are the third-party app repositories.

AOSP will be further restricted, but that really only affects anyone who doesn’t use LineageOS / GrapheneOS / your favorite ROM. The Venn diagram people who care about side-loading, people who can’t afford to switch to a supported device, and whose device is new enough to support the side-loading restriction is not zero, but they will be smart enough to go through the process of enabling side-loading.

I think by this time, the Wii had already been out for a bit, which for the record, could play GameCube games.

For sure. The SNES demo definitely didn’t get far at all (if you play it there’s not much there), but the N64 screenshots looked at least a little bit further in development.

I’ll try it out later and report back!

A different provider would probably work. Unsure about the other ones here. I believe root is required to disable Sim Toolkit pop-ups or notifications.

In the US, on eBay you can get a used Pixel 7 Pro for around $200. It’s a flagship from a few years ago, and you can install GrapheneOS. I’m willing to bet it’s more powerful than this phone, too. I’d always recommend something like that first. Maybe not as feasible for people overseas though?

Yes, OEM Android is becoming more restricted, but LineageOS is compatible with most of these current devices and isn’t going anywhere. Disclaimer: was never interested in emulation handhelds. I use my 3DS or phone with attachment.

Funny, I’ve been having a lot of problems with Mullvad DNS so I just switched to Quad9.

Ignoring my previous beef with PVS-Studio and the crappy AI-generated image…

I think the post is not entirely on the wrong track — dependencies can get pretty ridiculous, but some of the points he (or the AI?) makes are bizarre. I mean, recommending WinAPI over something “non-portable”? I guess there’s always Wine, but I am genuinely curious about what crappy libraries he’s using that are less portable than WinAPI. Also, you could argue most of the points he makes apply to code whether it’s a library or not (for example, compiler compatibility and vulnerability patching). The best point he makes is the one about potential license changes, but even then, the example he gives is softfloat, which went from a hand-written permissive license to BSD, which if anything, made it more permissive.

My best guess is either it’s a crappy AI-written article or his points only apply to whatever niche he specializes in.

So they used a distributed cache for a library that didn’t need to be distributed, switched, and then profiled it for fun? It sounds like they might not even need SQLite, it could be accomplished in a few data structures.

I got a notification two days ago that my extension was taken down. I actually did upgrade it to manifest v3, but I’m not too motivated to republish it. It’s still on the Firefox addon repo, so eh.

Hi there, I don’t think posting to this community will reach the audience you need. First, ads are pretty much universally disliked on Lemmy. it’s a very small community of more developers than consumers. If you want to post your game, it would probably be better to make a post showing a specific game mechanic in your game rather than a shameless ad.

You didn’t mention RetroArch, have you had any issues with that one? I know people have opinions on it, but it’s always worked for me.
