  • I like Nintendo games but I won’t buy new hardware to play them.

    So that means om also not in Nintendo’s target market. Which means they loose my business. But, what if they just let me play their games on my hardware? Then I could like… Give them money for those games right? An official emulator would allow for that.

    If I can currently play nintendos newest and best games on my Linux PC using an open source emulator that was legally made without the help of Nintendo or its source code. It would be much simpler for Nintendo to make that emulator than random open source devs without any real resources, documentation, or source code.





  • Totally agree. I think another crazy thing is that Nintendo knows how easy it is to emulate their latest games when developers are doing it without source code legally.

    Like imagine if nintendo just saved the effort and money they otherwise would spend on R&D, manufacturing, shipping, and promotion, litigation on new consoles every so often and just released an official emulator instead. It would be so much better for the environment to let people use their own hardware and they could just focus mostly on making games.

    At minimum, they could do both and have an option to sell games to people that don’t want another device to play media that their current devices already are capable of. And slowly phase out the console.



  • Although electric is great and can be self generated by things like solar panels.

    Not everyone an afford to convert a working appliance to an electric powered version. If I were to replace my boiler today for example I’d have to pay about $40,000-$60,000 USD for parts and labor. Eventually I will but I’ll have to plan and budget for it.

    There is also something to be said about reducing the waste of switching out working appliances for different fuel sources. If the goal is the help the environment, then it might be more beneficial to use the appliance until it reaches end of life. Especially of the components are hazardous or not easily recyclable.

    If something needs to be replaced, then we can advocate for electric appliances. But it’s wasteful and perhaps unreasonable to replace something that is in great condition and has years of life left in it.

    Also, there could still be legitimate uses for natural gas like for a generator incase of power outages.

    At the end of the day, the point of this post is simply that utility companies should be a service for the community and not run for profit.

    I never owned a gun before. Yet I still bought myself a Mossberg 500 shotgun with an 18 inch barrel. And I’ve been training and studying it for at least 2 hours a day to get up to speed.

    I asked myself what would Picard do, then I realized he would already be armed and ready to use it.

    As someone that tends to learn most by doing. Most of these comments are excellent my only suggestion is to try it. Most Linux distros come with live images which you dont need to install to test out.

    Just download the ISO and put it on a USB and then boot from the usb. You can even make a multiboot USB with ventoy.

    Or you can use distrosea to demo a distro in a browser.

    I also highly suggest using the arch wiki for research. It will probably go into much more depth than you need at first but it will also not dumb things down or over simplify things for you so you might actually learn. Take this doc on what a DE is for instance, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Desktop_environment
