Unfortunate. It’s available as a RetroArch core isn’t it? I wonder how that will effect things
Big fan of SBC gaming, open source engine recreations/source ports, gaming in general, alternative operating systems, and all things modding.
Trying to post and comment often in an effort to add to Lemmy’s growth.

I think they’re aware of your stash of full Family Guy episodes on Youtube featuring random zooms.
Also doesn’t the RIAA only cover the music industry?
I don’t think that supports desktop games beyond source ports like Quake and Diablo though
The reason of pirating things because you would be offline has mostly disappeared. Partially because mobile data has become more affordable but also because more subscription based apps give you some way to consume content offline.
Where I see this the most is with music. Outside of those who want FLAC quality I don’t know of a lot of people who pirate music anymore.
Piracy used to be about providing the best possible quality. With popularity the quality got watered down.
Do you think that has to do with popularity though or a shifting attitude towards piracy?
I feel like there’s a lot of people who treat it like they would with streaming. Downloading the newest episode or season of a show and deleting it almost immediately. They don’t feel the need to store it for later.
People do keep stuff might be limited by their storage. A 1TB portable HDD can be great but if you are downloading entire shows it can devour it pretty quickly.
Either way I feel like a lot of people aren’t concerned about quality. They care about having immediate access to it.
I feel like there’s been a trend of people switching from alcohol to cannabis as its become more widely accepted but I know a lot of people who have ended up taking it to excess as well. The idea of being addicted to it still really doesn’t come up often and looking back that might be viewed as problematic.
I’m not against people using it or anything but I do feel bad for the people who have gotten to the point where they need to smoke to feel like themselves.
Probably Playnite as someone who games a lot. I like to mod my games and get them from different sources so being able to launch Northstar (a launcher for Titanfall 2) or FROST (a total conversion mod for Fallout 4) from one place is nice really nice. You can do a lot of this from within Steam but I find it works a lot smoother in Playnite. You can easily scrape box/cover art for unofficial games, have HowLongToBeat data readily available, have links to the Wikipedia and Nexus Mods pages, and edit the description below the game to say stuff like “Press T to open up trainer menu”.
Unfortunately it’s not available (natively) on Linux. I’ve used Lutris but I don’t believe it has the same customization options. I don’t think there is much in the way of themes besides dark mode and light mode or plugin support. That said I haven’t tried to customize it in several years. I’ve gotten complacent in that aspect and have just been adding them to Steam. I have heard GameHub is another option I have heard about recently but I thought it was mostly the same as Lutris. It turns out it does have some features I was looking for such as popularity scores, game description, and genre tags but I am not sure how the support is for themes and plugins. You can read a decent It’sFOSS article about it here.
The obscure content thing is an issue I’ve run into especially looking for ~70s era sci-fi or horror movies that are regarded as cult classics or underrated online.
If you are looking for software you might want to look for websites that list open source projects.
I can’t really think of decent mega lists though. The FMHY one does have a lot of simply free things but it is mixed in with a lot of pirated content.
One thing I don’t see myself getting used to is seeing family getting older. Watching them not be able to do the things they want and occasionally losing their memory can be tricky to deal with
If you owned a pet would you want your partner to know what to do if it starts choking?
A level head is definitely an asset but I feel like having some familiarity with the situation can help.
Even if they don’t feel capable of doing anything themselves it should help them identify symptoms of a medical emergency or relay relevant information to medical professionals.
“Must chew with mouth closed” would be another odd one for a Tinder bio
With the example of a stroke I’d say recognizing the signs of a stroke is part of first aid.
A willingness or interest in it can definitely be considered part of it. I’ve hard partners that have refused to learn even after times they’ve witnessed me performing first aid
To me it’s more about helping each other out when accidents or something generally unexpected happens.
Having a stroke doesn’t require reckless behaviour.
It depends what you want in a laptop. I’d say the T480 is a great option because it’s the last in the line without soldered RAM and has a fair amount of upgradability.
That said the T440P can do most of the same stuff but it’s a little less powerful. Though I think you can upgrade the CPU to a degree.
There’s other things as well like if you want to install Libreboot or sometimes people will sell the laptop and the dock together.
It probably doesn’t help that it’s abandonware and was limited largely to the PC and Xbox 360.
A lot of people only hear about it in “top abandonware games” lists that would mention it and games like Alpha Protocol which was recently relisted.
Good to know. I’ll have to look into it further
