I prefer "brochacho".

Microsoft already removed all support for 16 bit apps on all 64 bit versions of their OSs. You can replace the missing NTVDM with WineVDM, which is essentially just WINE for 16 bit apps, and likely has higher compatibility than NTVDM anyway.

That doesn't help with the incompatibilities of some Win9x and XP era apps, though.

I don't think SC-Controller is making direct kernel syscalls or anything like that. It's probably just something as simple as the dev doesn't use Windows and doesn't feel like supporting it, which I can understand.

Also the reason I even mentioned Mesa is because there is a working Mesa port to Windows already that does software rendering and an experimental RADV port.

The Democrats and Hillary sure did talk a lot about the leaks at the time, but strangely never mentioned the contents of those leaks.

According to Newsweek, in response to the lawsuit the DNC contended that “the organization’s neutrality among Democratic campaigns during the primaries was merely a ‘political promise,’ and therefore it had no legal obligations to remain impartial throughout the process.”

SC Controller (the modernized fork) doesn't support anything other than Linux. On Windows, I have to run a super outdated version from 2020 that is missing support for newer controllers such as the DualSense.

AMDGPU Mesa drivers are just better than the proprietary AMD drivers. There is experimental support for RADV in Windows, but nothing like the support that is on Linux.

This is going to sound weird, but WINE sometimes has better support for legacy games/software than modern Windows does, and WINE is not available on Windows outside of something like WSL.

I would also say KDE apps like Dolphin, Konsole, and Kate, but those have Windows builds.

I doubt ICE would care if you showed them a US passport, let alone an ID

I was with you on the first half, but definitely not on the second half.

If you support executing your political opponents by means of fascism, what makes that any less evil than Trump executing any politician he dislikes (and it seems we're on that road)?

We can only hope that the Big Macs and lack of exercise kill him quickly.

We need the corporate death penalty.

Or at least take 100% of their revenue (not profit) until they comply.

Gotta love FPTP voting

Threads federation? (lemmy.sdf.org)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

What is SDF's opinion on pre-emptive deferation with Threads?

I know SDF Chatter hasn't defedded with any instance, but there is a serious risk of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish if we federate with Threads.

 

Looking for a DP to HDMI 2.1 that supports 4k120 with Freesync and the various HDR standards. Saw the PS196 was announced some while back, but can't find any converters that implement it.

Anyone know where I can find a converter, or even just the chip itself so I can build my own?

Basically what the title says. I've only played two games like this so far (Silent Hill 2 and OMORI) and am looking for more.

Could be games, ROM hacks, mods of existing games, etc.

EDIT: So many great suggestions! Getting a bit overwhelmed by how many there are, so I'm going to need to find a way to put this in some kind of list with an order to play the games in. By all means, keep 'em coming, though!

 

Was wondering if anyone had experience with Frankensteining together different parts from different controllers, and how I could go about it cleanly.

I'm looking to have some kind of modern controller (preferably a DualSense), but with an actually good DPad, specifically the Sega Saturn Mk2 controller. Wondering if I should bother with trying to modify the shell, or if I should just custom design a new shell to fit the DPad. I feel like 3D printing would result in much lower quality compared to injection molded plastic, so not 100% sure about that idea.

Best Debrid service? (lemmy.sdf.org)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

I've been using Real Debrid for about a year now, but there're a couple of things making me want to switch.

I like to share my account with a couple of friends. Real Debrid gave me a warning about banning my account if I use it concurrently with someone else.

Real Debrid no longer accepts emails from AnonAddy or Tutanota. I would much rather not have to give out any real contact info.

Looking for a comparable service that caches torrents from anyome who downloads it and provides a link premiumizing service. I would also like to be able to give out direct links for the purposes of using Syncplay.

Whatever I use must be compatible with Torrentio inside of Stremio.
