- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 6 days ago:
I’ve gone back to sailing the high seas and don’t regret it. Cost efficient, superior quality, more control and a better service overall. If I do buy music from an artist that actually deserves it, it’s on Bandcamp. I’ve been looking for a physical/analog setup and make copies of those. I’ve also learning how to self-host so I can setup a Navidrome server for seamless transition from device to device.

They recently announced that they were going to insert ads on their smart fridges. What soured me towards Samsung products was when they started to lock the bootloader on their phones where previously this wasn’t a problem.

t seems like the best solution would be to confiscate Starlink and nationalize it.
Not in the land of the Star-Spangled Banner, I’m afraid. That would be socialism. Orange Führer wouldn’t like that.

- Comment on Steam Users Rally Behind Anti-Censorship Petition 2 months ago:
… and I have my age settings so I can see adult games like GTA/Dishonored, not “Super Hentai Bejeweled 3000”.
The former belong to the M rated category while the hypothetical latter would belong to the Adults Only category. As others have pointed out, you can hide adult games and still see other games with violence and mature themes. Steam classifies M-rated games and AO-rated games differently.
- Comment on True Story 2 months ago:
A shame really since their stories kick-started the entire Marvel Comics mythos. The Skrulls, Black Panther, Galactus, Silver Surfer, and, of course, Doctor Doom all originated in the pages of FF comics. Yet, as time went, they were overshadowed by later creations. There were only two notable eras of FF comics: the original Kirby/Lee run and the John Byrne era. The only other notable FF stories were some crossovers with the Chris Claremont era X-men comics.

Emulators. Are. Legal.
This was settled with the Sony/Bleem debacle. Bleem only provided the software by which one could emulate PSX games but the never the ISO files themselves. Those files could only be provided by the end user regardless of how they obtained them. Sony, of course, couldn’t give less of a shit and sued them anyways. Judges, however, took Bleem’s side on the basis that no copyright infringement had been committed on their behalf. Although Bleem would ultimately win ever lawsuit brought against them, the sheer size of the legal costs led to their closure which makes you if that Sony’s endgame the whole time.
Here’s a video by Nerrel about the legality of emulation. It’s from 2020 but it is still relevant.
