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 Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce 7 hours ago:
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?

- Comment on Search GTA 6 Requirements 3 days 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 3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup? 3 days ago:
Huh, that’s a pretty good idea. I already have a Raspberry Pi setup at home, and it wouldn’t be hard to duplicate.

I don’t 🙃
- Comment on I installed Linux on this 8-inch mini laptop, and it's my new favorite way of computing 1 week ago:
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 =)
- Comment on You could get anything you wanted and it was FREE 1 week 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.

I didn’t expect Windows to become THAT shit. Well it’s good for Linux I guess.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 release date now set for September 12, plus a new trailer and deep dive are out 1 week ago:
What do you mean? Borderlands 3 were amazing.

GBA SP here.

I don’t know what half of these means.
- Comment on YouTube says goodbye to decade-old video player UI, but users hate the new design 2 weeks ago:
At least it’s not covered by a dark shade now.
Why does that matter? It looked fine.

Looks like UI from like 2005 lol.

Schools banning phones is one of the dumbest thing to do.
- Comment on Microsoft rolls Windows Recall out to the public nearly a year after announcing it 2 weeks ago:
We live in weird age, where using Windows is becoming harder than Linux (even though it has its own issues).
- Comment on Windows 10 LTSC – the version that won't expire for years 3 weeks ago:
Why not put it in VM?
The only thing I’d suggest if you do that is to have at least 32 GB of RAM, because I was in a situations where running few Electron apps, and Win11 VM caused RAM to fill up. But if you’re not running Electron apps you should be fine with 16 GB.
And if you’re planning to game, you could use GPU passthrough, but from what I’ve heard it’s a bit hard to set up.

You know what gives me stress? Websites that reinvent scrolling.
- Comment on There’s AI Inside Windows Paint and Notepad Now 4 weeks ago:
In my house 3 computers are already running Linux (Raspbian on Raspberry Pi, Debian testing on my PC and openSUSE on a family laptop), and I already talked with my dad to install Linux on his personal laptop as well, which is probably going to be Linux Mint (I am planning to replace openSUSE on other laptop with Linux Mint as well, because openSUSE sucks).
- Comment on There’s AI Inside Windows Paint and Notepad Now 4 weeks ago:
You can either uninstall Notepad and return to the old one using some registry trick.
Or you can download some version of Microsoft Notepad on the internet or even ReactOS Notepad if you really insist of having such simple program, but using I’d recommend to use something like Notepad++ instead.

- Comment on I ditched my laptop for a pocketable mini PC and a pair of AR glasses — here’s what happened 4 weeks ago:
That’s actually pretty cool idea. Wasn’t there some effort by Valve to support VR anyway on the Deck?
- Comment on I ditched my laptop for a pocketable mini PC and a pair of AR glasses — here’s what happened 4 weeks ago:
Laptop is hardly a whole desk setup though. AR is potentially going to be much better than using clunky laptops.

White Roses (actually Белые Розы) in my ass.
- Comment on It always seems like its time to move to linux 4 weeks ago:
Each day it becomes easier and easier to use Linux (e.g. Linux Mint or ZorinOS) when compared to Windows.

- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 5 weeks 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? 5 weeks 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.
