Yeah, I know they have been defederated to pieces, albeit not in as much detail as you provided, I was just trying to confirm that that was the reason, to better understand how federation works. Our instance has lately been blocking some of their communities, too.

I don't quite understand the vote results, especially in conjunction with the post content, I don't see any ties, but I was most surprised by the fact that they voted to defederate from blahaj.zone? Isn't hexbear rabidly pro-inclusion, in particular regarding trans people?

You said (almost) the same thing as the top comment, an hour earlier, too, yet you only have 3 updoots, while they have 60+. What gives? Is it because you're from hexbear and most simply don't see your comment?

Can't be, you don't see him showing off with a Single Action Army revolver.

Oh you mean that the number 256 overflows into 0 in 8-bit range. My joke was leaning more into the idea that when you use all 256 possible bit combinations (1111 1111), it can represent -1 in signed integer formats. Even though 255 is the highest number you can directly represent, there are still 256 total combinations, including zero, so IMO, the joke works.

I'm not sure what you're implying with this. But how did you dig this up anyway?

I know you're joking and referencing Linus, but you can consider it piracy and still be ok with doing it.

This is Lemmy, you scroll for 5 mins and you've seen all the worthy posts for the day.

And it's a benefit in my book.

To be fair, PS2 emulation is still not that great, but I guess it's due to sheer amount of games for that system. Last summer I decided to check the PS2 emulation after 10 year break and 2 out of 3 games I tested didn't work properly. Granted, those are kinda niche games (Transformers (2004) and Free Running), but compatibility still needs work. Hardware requirements are decently low for the games that do work, though.

PS4 is actually easier to emulate than PS3, because former has regular x86 architecture, but latter has a very weird CELL/PowerPC architecture CPU.

I doubt it costs that much. You're looking at it from buying PC components perspective. But they are mass producing identical boards with components that are 4+ years old by now, except the GPU. The cost of production is probably around the same as it was for non-Pro when it was released.

Vita can Run 99% of PS1 games "natively" and has a bunch of PS2 ports (some through PSP). Not PS3 though.

I don't remember if I tried Plex/Jellyfin, but I'll check vaapi thingy when I use it next time. In Firefox settings, right? It's still weird that it works fine in Windows Firefox, but not Linux Firefox.
