They will eventually be all taken down. That’s the point. They have no legal framework to exist, and Nintendo could strike any time they want, like Rockstar did with the re3 project.

They also have valid reasons to think that these projects are causing them to lose money, since they give alternative (and technically better) solutions to play their old games, without buying any Nintendo hardware or software (unless you dump your games, but let’s be honest. You don’t).

Exactly. But somehow I got downvoted heavily for saying the obvious.

No one says that the actual source code (C or whatever) is “piped out”. The machine instructions (in form of a binary) you have before decompiling is the code that is executed by the machine/emulator is copyrighted like any other data on the disc/cartridge. You are not writing the game yourself if you are decompiling it. And it’s logically a derivative work. The fact that the resulting “instructions” is not the source code that developers wrote is as expected. It won’t create it from thin air.

I don’t understand what kind of mental gymnastics you need to do to think that you are doing something original here.

The code itself is also copyrighted. Decompiled code is a derivative work.

I won’t say if that project is legal or not, but expect it (and many others) to be taken down by Nintendo soon. Make a local copy if you want to preserve it.

I see that Fedora uses Btrfs, so it should be able to take file system snapshots, which are sort of an alternative to the immutable thing, isn’t it?

I was always wondering why there’s no real audio-based interface for blind people, instead of trying to describe what’s on the screen. Have this ever been tried out?

Programming for accessibility is one of these things that I always fascinated me, and it makes me sad that support for it no longer matters for a lot of software developers. Maybe it’s something I am going to try to do? Is there any documentation where to start with that?

Huh, that’s a pretty good idea. I already have a Raspberry Pi setup at home, and it wouldn’t be hard to duplicate in other location.

I don’t 🙃

Why not make Ubuntu a GNU/ Redox distribution at that point?

I really wish they had easier way to switch to newer version. It works for me, since it’s not that hard to edit sources.list (or debian.sources nowadays), but I don’t get why they don’t make a tool that does a release upgrade like on Ubuntu. Could even list changes made to the sources file during execution for that matter.

I’ve switched to Linux because at this point it’s easier to deal with problems on Linux than using Windows and getting it to usable state.

And if something doesn’t run on Linux… I use something else, easy as that.

I remember having 10 inch netbook. It was okay for a while, but I would never want to go back to 10 inch display on a laptop. It’s just horrible to use. 13 inches is ideal for me =)

Then I don’t know what are you smoking. From the taskbar, window decorations to system settings - it’s very similar to how Windows 10 is designed, although with much less padding (by default, but it’s a good thing).

There are also some settings for the taskbar to behave more like a Windows 11 one, if that’s what you want.

Also as for icons they look much more modern than what’s on Windows, at least for me.

It works fine for me, and I use Wayland.

It looks very similar to Windows 10. You think Windows 10 looks like something from 00’s?

It doesn’t matter if it’s prettier, when I need to spend twice the time to do some basic stuff because I need to move my mouse cursor half way through the fucking screen, at least in GNOME apps.

How is that toleratable is beyond me.

Just open the preferences/settings on KDE and you see nothing but pure chaos.

It looks fine to me. Everything is categorized nicely and you know where to find something you look for. I am not sure about GNOME Settings, because I have never used GNOME more than 30 minutes (because of annoyingly shitty UX), but it’s at least much better than what Windows does.

I didn’t expect Windows to become THAT shit. Well it’s good for Linux I guess.

GBA SP here.
