I would say the answer to avoid any of this would be to use homebrew games but I don’t know if ones for harder systems to emulate (GameCube, PS2, etc) would be great for testing handheld emulators

Good to know. I’ll have to look into it further

Unfortunate. It’s available as a RetroArch core isn’t it? I wonder how that will effect things

I feel like your right about complacency playing a big part.

It does make me wonder if a user of both MacOS and Windows would be more willing to consider using Linux over individuals who have only used Windows. Maybe someone who has used multiple operating systems would be more aware of what could be improved in their computing experience.

That said a lot of people seem to be migrating to Linux because of Windows 11

It is a niche open source social network. I feel like having enthusiastic Linux users is inevitable.

When does this ever happen?

Nice to see the article mention the source port

Totally. I feel like that’s a bit of a holdover from Reddit is all and there’s usual some flexibility here so I’m saying it’s good when people utilize it.

Personally I like altering the title, including the origina title in the text, and maybe a few other articles on the topic or to add context. It doesn’t take much effort on my part and I feel like it shows I’m not just dumping links and might engage in a conversation about it.

It’s more targeted at the lemming who posted this. Considering people can edit post titles and add additional text to a link post there’s not really a risk in trying something more informative. They wouldn’t need to delete their post or match some ultra rigid formatting.

I don’t have any faith in Huffington Post (or several other news outlets) deviating from clickbait. In this situation someone might not recognize the name or act and assume it’s irrelevant to them. I can see why they do it but I don’t like it.

I haven’t seen a lot of people get upset about altered titles on Lemmy. I feel like there’s a general understanding that an accurate title is better.

Some people cite the article’s original headline in the text below the submitted link.

Why not edit the title to be a little bit less clickbait?

Maybe something like:

Mark Kelly, A Possible Democratic Veep Pick, Just Changed His Position On Protecting the Right to Organize Act

They’re also called evaporator coolers. I am not sure if the word swamp refers to it performing a function that might be found around a swamp or how they operate.

Maybe the pool of water at the bottom is referred to as a swamp.

I linked the video but it’s been a while since I watched it. I am not sure if he explains the nomenclature.

Kind of related but here’s a video from Technology Connections if you want to learn more about swamp coolers and why they only work in specific conditions

allows you to collect cash accumulated in safes, request vehicles and replenish ammo using your in-game phone - but only if you pay up $8 or $7 a month for a GTA+ subscription, which is currently not available on PC.

Yeah it seems like since COVID19 and the release of RG350 there’s been a real increase in the amount of progress

The Vita also has a lot of source ports.

For the right price it can be a pretty good deal considering it can play PSX and below as well as PSP games and a lot of handheld emulators still struggle with Vita emulation.

The RG35XXSP has a GBA SP clamshell style and is relatively new with a lot of positive reviews

It depends what you want to emulate. Most consoles can do PSX and below without any trouble. A lot of devices share the same chipset so that’s a big thing to look out for.

If you want to get into things like PS2 and GameCube you are going to have to pay more and likely consider Android.

A console with HDMI out and Bluetooth might be what you are looking for so you can potentially have that desktop experience you are used to.

I think Batocera-based custom firmwares can show retro achievement availability from the games list

Just a heads up the “10,000 in 1” game claims that every of these devices advertises isn’t something you should consider. It’s going to be a lot of games you’ve never heard of for older systems like the NES so they fit on lower capacity SD cards. Potentially in multiple languages. It also comes on SD cards most people would recommend replacing.

It’s better to just download the entire library, individual games, or an already curated collection.
