Sex work would probably be less stigmatized in a currencyless society

  • If you get paid for it you are a whore, if you do it as a hobby you are a slut.

    The stigma is there, regardless of the money aspect. They will just use a different word.

    What’s Your Oldest System?

  • My oldest running system is a Commodore 64C with a 1541-2 floppy drive but that is for years only a nice accessories on my wall, because my MiSTer Multisystem completely replaced that (and my Amiga 500 and my SNES and all other retro consoles I own) in every way.

    Sony's new PlayStation 2 emulator tested - and it's another disappointing effort. Subpar image quality, poor filtering options and bugs do these classics no favours.

  • Sounds complicated and like a lot of potential legal trouble, have it done by their own staff seems easier.

  • There are not much good commercial emulator projects, and open source emulators are not easy to license due to the nature of the open source licences (often GPL 2 or 3) used.

  • FOSS developers have no cost reporting, no meetings with C level and stakeholders, no shareholders, no release plans, no schedules. What they have is passion.

    They just created what they want to create, they have a deep personal agenda to make something they want to use for themselves and that has to have therefore the polish and quality they want to have it to have.

    The corporate developers wanted to make a good product too I am very sure, but if the higher ups say that it has to be released by a fixed date then there is not much that the developers can do about it.

    So yes, the company has no real excuses, besides money.

  • Creating a good emulator takes a lot of time and money, and that I think is the true reason why.

    What they have released is a MVP, a minimum viable product, it checks all the boxes for a releaseable thing and that's what the higher ups, the product leads and other finance stakeholders want to hear.

    Additional features or proper scaling? Yeah, nice we put that on the list for MVP+, for sure! When will that come? Nobody knows and we have no development time to work on it because now with the release the focus was shifted to the next project, but it is on the list and we will come back to it.

    I have heard that so often in so many projects I was part of, as a grunt with no power, and for nearly all of them I still wait for the MVP+ time to ever happen.

    Why does nobody here ever recommend Fedora to noobs?

  • I quite often recommend the atomic flavors of Fedora to people and have it set up for a few people (my mother for example). I think atomic distributions are perfect for tech unsavory people, because they can't really damage anything and it mimics/reproduces lots of the things they are already used from their phones.
