  Atari Jaguar just had Amiga/ST ports, hardly any used the GPU.

  Also, most PS5 games are just reconfigured PS4 games.

  1-money 2-incompetence 3-the senior prgrammer left somewhere and is uncontactable, or was sacked by a powertripping manager with the IQ of a cinder block and no one can work out what the hell they wrote.

  Theres heaps of stuff that is under-developed or mssing, but they prefer to rewrite working code in Rust, because ideology.

  We are witnessing the death of Linux here, no less, replacing a working kernal with an still undefined language that everyone will have forgotten in 5 years.

  Debs should work just fine on a Debian based os like pop.

  hahahahahahaha

  Downloading the .deb from the website is very hard? Not being sarcastic, hoping to understand

  It has to be specific to your distro, and your version of the distro, and compatible with any modules you’ve added. Ain’t gunna happen.

  The IBM 503, the last valve computer, that Cobol and Fortran, the first languages were developed had 20 bit words.

  So an 80 column card could fit 4 words across. Thats why terminals had 80 coulmns of text - so they were the same size as punch cards.

  Fortran only used 72 columns, so the last 8 were unused.

  Everything is a turbo now which is “more efficient” but there is no way they will last as long as the naturally aspirated V6 or V8s that would go for 400-500k miles.

  You do know that turbocharged engines don’t rev as much don’t you ? They last longer.

  A 1.8L NA Atsra put out 92 kW at 6000 rpm. The 1.6L turbo version put out 134kW at 2800 rpm.

  I wouldn’t say it was a failure.

  They haven’t been banned yet.

  The law doesn’t come into effect until the end of next year after the govt determines how the ban will be enforced.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australia’s social media ban for kids under 16 just became law. How it will work remains a mystery⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m guessing that, like GDPR in the EU, it will apply to any and all social media website on the internet, but for practical reasons, can’t really be enforced outside of the legislating authorities’ jurisdiction.

  The legislation specifically gives the Act extra-territorial powers to enforce the ban against foreign websites.

  Reddit is specifically targetted ; it will definitely include Lemmy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australia’s social media ban for kids under 16 just became law. How it will work remains a mystery⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Now, if a parent helps their child do it anyway, the parent and child can’t get in trouble, but the platform can, because platforms cannot knowingly allow children to use the app, even with explicit parental consent and supervisio
