For Zulip, I’ve only used it on the web. Apparently they have iOS, Android, Desktop, and Terminal clients.
For Matrix, there are many clients on all platforms, but none have ever stood out to me. Element is the official client, and it’s… fine I guess.
I love this, especially the criticism of the FSF.
For coms, Zulip seems OK. I would really like Matrix to take off, but I honestly don’t really like any of the clients.
What’s wrong with AC if it’s powered by renewable electricity?
Someone told me that Goldeneye actually supported dual stick controls if you plugged in two controllers. And Perfect Dark is the same engine.
I need to try that out on real hardware…
It’s honestly wild that the core feature of Bartender (hiding icons in the menu bar) isn’t builtin to macOS.
It’s not like the Dem base will switch their votes to Trump.
At this point, now that the nominees are decided, the political game is to attract the swing vote, which is mostly “tough on crime,” anti-imigration, and anti-taxation (as it applies to them directly).
Even though none of these policies are actually good for those in the middle.
Yeah, I know what a hydrogen fuel cell is.
What I’m saying is that the cost to develop hydrogen infrastructure, the complexity of it’s distribution, the risk due to its high volatility, and the uncertainty of a relatively underdeveloped technology all seem to be losing to batteries, which are very mature tech and are already in the supply chain and for which we already have a well developed electricity distribution grid.
I just don’t see what investing in fuel cells will do other than slow the adoption of zero emission vehicles by another decade.
What are the benefits of fuel cells?
Do they outweigh the benefits of batteries?
I’m confused. Why are we talking about Tesla?
Is fuel cell tech actually easier, cheaper, or better than batteries in any way?
The Internet.
Computers do a lot of things. But the Internet specifically is the aspect of the computer that revolutionized the world.
I think 20 to 30 thousand deaths is a bit more than a couple…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_28_incident
The February 28 incident (also called the February 28 massacre, the 228 incident, or the 228 massacre) was an anti-government uprising in Taiwan in 1947 that was violently suppressed by the Kuomintang–led nationalist government of the Republic of China (ROC). Directed by provincial governor Chen Yi and president Chiang Kai-shek, thousands of civilians were killed beginning on February 28. The incident is considered to be one of the most important events in Taiwan’s modern history and was a critical impetus for the Taiwan independence movement.
Between 18,000 and 28,000 deaths…
An emulator, even a paid one, would be totally legal in the US as long as:
It does not use any patented technologies. I’m not sure if Nintendo has any patents in the emulation space, but regardless the GBA is so simple that it wouldn’t require patented techniques to emulate.
It does not contain any proprietary (copyrighted) code. On more modern consoles, this would include the BIOS or Firmware files. Does the GBA even need something like that?
Number 1 is a non-issue for a GBA emulator. Number 2 is more tricky, but it’s always possible to reverse engineer and reimplement the firmware. That’s protected by the Compaq v. IBM case.
The recent drama with the Switch emulator is that they violated the second principle.

I use Android TV and Chrome on macOS as my primary clients, and Arch on my server with an Nvidia 1080Ti for transcoding.
Yep. This fucking loophole in the American tax system.
You borrow against your existing wealth, then the cost basis of your investments resets upon inheritance. So your estate can sell the investment to pay off the debt, and no capital gains tax is ever paid.
Because of this, in America, capital gains tax only applies to the middle class. The rich have a clear and obvious loophole.
Right!?
These people have more wealth than the GDP of some nations.
Jeff Bezos has more wealth ($190B) than the GDP of Ukraine ($170B).
Well, to follow version 3 of the GPL, you do actually need to provide effective root access.
Specifically, version 3 of the GPL adds language to prevent Tivoization.
It’s not enough to just provide the user with the code. The user is entitled to the freedom to modify that code and to use their modifications.
In other words, in addition to providing access to the source code, you must actually provide a mechanism to allow the user to change the code on the device.
The name “Tivoization” comes from the practice of the company TiVo, which sold set-top boxes based on GPL code, but employed DRM to prevent the user from applying custom patches. V3 of the GPL remedies this bug.
