Tildes. And maybe Hacker News.
- Comment on Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled! 1 week ago:
Pokemon MMO’s are the entire different thing. I am not 100% sure how they developed them, but they seem to be just reimplementations of original game mechanics, but while reusing original assets.
And yet I don’t understand why you say they are not taken down by Nintendo. Couple of them were already closed down because of copyright infringement, and they make big news about that.
- Comment on Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled! 1 week ago:
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).
- Comment on Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled! 1 week ago:
Exactly. But somehow I got downvoted heavily for saying the obvious.
- Comment on Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled! 1 week ago:
No one says that the actual source code (C or whatever) is “piped out”. The machine instructions (in form of a binary) you get is the code that is executed by the machine/emulator and it’s 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.
I don’t understand what kind of mental gymnastics you need to do to think that you are doing something original here.
- Comment on Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled! 1 week ago:
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.
- Comment on Windows 11's inconsistency 1 week ago:
There was only one time when Microsoft cared about having consistent UI and even did a lot of research on how to make operating system easier for people that didn’t use computers before. It was when they developed Windows 95.

- Comment on RIP obsolete tech 2 weeks ago:
A relative lately wanted me to burn an Audio CD on their Windows 10 PC. I had little to no idea how to do it, since last time I did that was on Windows XP.
- Comment on Search GTA 6 Requirements 2 weeks ago:
There’s a reason why modern browsers have multiple processes. Each tab and extension is sandboxed for stability and security reasons.
Also Firefox tends to use similar amount of RAM as Chrome, and it’s silly that it’s only Chrome is being making fun of.
- Comment on You could get anything you wanted and it was FREE 2 weeks ago:
I have never used Limewire, but if they had distributed binaries that you should pay for, it is a copyright infringement, even if you could technically compile it yourself. There are applications that do this and it’s compatible with GPL license.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 release date now set for September 12, plus a new trailer and deep dive are out 3 weeks ago:
What do you mean? Borderlands 3 were amazing.

I don’t know what half of these means.

Schools banning phones is one of the dumbest thing to do.

Why would you cry because of haircut? Sometimes I am unsatisfied when I leave barbershop, but it’s not like anyone cares about my haircut, lol.
- Comment on Cozy video games can quell stress and anxiety 5 weeks ago:
You know what gives me stress? Websites that reinvent scrolling.

I have been a translator for few random projects about 10 years ago when my English was probably around B1 level. And yet I still have seen translations much worse than what I was able to do. Blows my fucking mind to be honest.

White Roses (actually Белые Розы) in my ass.

Why doesn’t that happen to me?

Who the fuck behaves like that in a workspace?
- Comment on Waking up an hour before you intend to 1 month ago:
And then you sleep for few more hours, lol.
That’s one thing I don’t like about being unemployed, that is wasting so much time.
- Comment on She's about 35 1 month ago:
Never try to guess the age of woman from looks.
One time I was flirting with a woman from Uzbekistan or something, and after like 30 minutes she mentions that she has children of my age (I am 29), and I am like what the actual fuck? She looked at most 37, lol.

Good post, mate.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 1 month ago:
I definitely agree with most of the points but I don’t get what do you mean that you can’t move to testing, because that’s what I literally did recently by upgrading from bookworm to trixie with no issues whatsoever.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 1 month ago:
Drivers being outdated is not a big deal, unless you use recent hardware, then it might make sense to make a jump to current testing release (trixie), or just stay on testing indefinitely.

That’s weird. It worked for me just fine. I have GTX 1060 3GB.

The longer I live the more I see modern civilization collapse inevitable and happening in the relatively near future.
How the fuck do you even prepare for something like that?

So it’s the overly complicated version of a system that’s on more sane platforms like Steam? Ok.
