[HN] Study: 87% of classic video games are not legally available
  • If you bundle cryptographic keys, bios or other copyrighted content then yes obviously it's illegal.

    It's not illegal to implement an emulator.

  • It's required because a lot of the functionality of the PS2 is in the embedded software, the BIOS.

    The problem is not the emulator itself, it's the BIOS which is copyrighted. The emulator is not illegal, but bundling the BIOS with it would be.

    Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds?
  • I've lost all hope for young people when most of the "proposed" content on Facebook or similar are either: young people making softcore porn videos, or young people miming to songs.

    why can't we have federated identity ?
  • The whole point is to be decentralized. You can still interact with communities on other instances, so what's the point?

  • Honestly wouldn't mind Lemmy being a 30+ monoculture. Let the kids stay on their TikBooks and SnapFaces where they make porn or whatever else kids do these days.

    What's your favourite colony sim on PC?
  • I like the idea of DF, but I'm leaning more towards Songs of Syx instead. It's not on sale so I'm in no hurry but it's on my shortlist

  • I'm looking for a new colony sim on PC. What I've played so far are:

    • Rimworld
    • Oxygen Not Included
    • Banished
    • Timberworld
    • Frostpunk
    • Anno 1800

    I know some of these might not be strictly colony sims. What I'm really looking forward to is Manor Lords, but we don't have a definite release date on that.

    What are your recommendations?

    Refugee Redditors as they make the move.
  • My biggest problem so far is that reddit.com is entered automatically by muscle memory. I need to rewire my brain, or redirect reddit.com to lemmy.world in the router.
