USA could be, but isn’t the greatest country in the world.

Provided that microdick Vlad doesn’t pull a Ukraine on the country for trying to have democracy, and entering the EU and NATO

Prison is an sentence, thus a form of punishment, as well as a rehabilitation procedure, as well as mean of protection of the public.

Death sentence on the other hand, is a moronic form of punishment as well as ineffective,because it doesn’t prevent the crimes themselves

The movie idiocracy is turning from a comedy to a documentary!

Thing is that when something similar happened in France, all hell broke loose. Strikes went on for a long time. And even though the pension plan passed with a presidential degree rather than through parliament, the president became so unpopular, that the country is in shambles now

There is a possibility that the Russians could get rid of Putin with less than 2000 dead altogether

Video games always used to be an economic way of entertainment. With an amount equal to a restaurant dinner you could be entertained for hundreds of hours.

Nowadays, video games follow the trend of enshitification. Low quality, repeated material, bad gaming experience, data hoarding, the need to be always online even for a single player game and of course, the “you don’t own, we can take it away anytime we want” mentality.

According to the court rulling, if you essentially want to play retro games, you should find a way to access the original hardware and run the software in mostly proprietary mediums like cartridges that could be damaged or corrupted. And the reason you can’t do it is because you may actually have fun!

This ruling is so bongers it blows my mind.

So you should never, ever ever

1. Use emulators like Retroarch
2. Find the ROMs of various systems you like in various “archives” through the interwebs for research purposes ofcourse
3. Use a frontend like ES-DE or launchbox to make things look beautiful.
4. Scrape content through screenscraper or something similar to make your frontends even more beautiful. 5.Keep in mind that this combo ( Retroarch + frontend) works in mostly cross platform (windows, Linux, android etc.)

After all, as a researcher you have to be able to tinker a little bit.

Enjoy your research ;)

I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee…

If you like automation and don’t want to rely on the cloud (aka the big data corpos) then you could try our lord and saviour Home Assistant.

That’s why you should be absent from reddit in the first place. Lp

A few thousand years ago the ancient Greeks said:

“δὶς ἐξαμαρτεῖν οὐκ ἀνδρὸς σοφοῦ”.

Roughly meaning: A wise person doesn’t make the same mistake twise.

But again some people keep doing it

The Shawshank Redemption

Because he is correct

*cries at Greek

Actually you can, but the programming takes a lot longer to compile and the programming language iitself is, to say the least, vague.

About fucking time

So much for my trans-Atlantic voyage. Guess I ll take the trans-Siberian train then. Comms are very bad there so ill take the trans-ceiver with me.

Pleasure cruises and Golf are only fulfilling for those who don’t need to work. Jfc

As everyone else here, I think piracy is illegal and immoral. We should accept that we don’t own our services and software and we should never doubt that corporations have our best interest in mind.

Therefore you should never have a Plex server, never use protonmail, never use AdGuard Home, never use AdGuard DNS for private DNS.

Also you should never use Firefox with UBlock origin sponsorblock and consent o magic.

Lastly you should never ever use re-vanced and x-manager, and God forbid don’t use a VPN

Edit: syntax

Probably yes but you’ll have to set min DPI :p
