is software maintained by non-profit organizations niggerlicious?
>>
>>107648800
Depends of the org and quantities of trannies and niggers on it.

Not always. State/gov software tends to be pretty bad. But some other kinds of nonprofits might get genuine crusader personalities that do it for the love of the game and the mission and enforce something decent.

>>107648800
Profit is niggerlicious. Products of divine intellect belong to God who shines the light of his wisdom upon all who would open their eyes.
>>
>>107648800
In general, software made for big teams to work on is niggerlicious, whereas software made by a small group of dedicated people is divine intellect.

Emulating CPU bugs isn't the difficult part, they're well documented, it's more so making sure things are accurate to the physical components of the console. Software is deterministic and predictable but real life hardware can be more unstable.
As an interesting example, Super Bonk on the SNES has a gameplay demo where there's a chance that the inputs of the demo will become desynced and that it'll mess up because of variance in the clock speed of the graphics chip and the CPU. However it never happens on emulator, because emulators don't bother to emulate the physical clock component. Therefore, a more stable result is less accurate than actual hardware... now you see, true accuracy is hard to achieve. Of course, you could argue that the more stable result is preferable to the behavior of the actual hardware, but then you have other games like the SNES Speedy Gonzalez game where a level cannot be cleared *unless* a specific hardware edge case is emulated.

Another emulator development tidbit that may interest you are illegal opcodes. This is mostly a 6502 specific thing AFAIK, but I think the 8086 may have some as well. You might know about their existence, but why they work is pretty interesting too. The 6502 (The CPU used in the NES) had a flawed instruction decoder. Instructions were decoded by looking up entries in a table of microcode depending on which bits of the opcode are on and off. Nothing wrong with that, but there's also nothing stopping you from using opcodes that mix properties of completely unrelated instructions. Some can be useful but most just jam the CPU. Even some official NES games used unofficial opcodes, for instance, Aladdin uses a SLO instruction which shifts the contents of a byte of memory left and then compares it against the accumulator register. Anyways, apparently some of these instructions are unstable and don't work the same way all of the time due to analog variance. A truly accurate NES emulator would have to emulate all the undocumented opcodes and then account for the hardware being used. Accuracy is a total nightmare.
>>
>>107646927
Also using these isn't generally reccomended since newer 6502 revisions used those slots for new, incompatible instructions

Stuff gets deleted all the time, and you can't predict what. I don't download indiscriminately, but after several times getting burned, I figured I might as well just save anything I think I'll want to revisit at some point.
Storage is cheap, and I have a lot of unused space. Might as well put it to use just in case, if I really need the space back for some reason I can always prune it.

You people need to stop thinking that jobs are the only way to earn money. The reason why companies are doing massive layoffs and not hiring junior devs is the same reason why you can literally run your whole tech company practically solo. Instead of thinking, "Oh, I hope they pick me so I can waste my time making the CEO richer!" You should be thinking, "Oh, I hope they don't sue me because my products outclass their so much that they're butthurt.

and what do you use to control your led array?

>>
>>107648975
It's 12 LED panels. So resolution of 192x128 in total.
They get controlled with a microchip SoC that has a quad core risc-v running linux and an FPGA.
The fpga shifts out the pixels, the linux runs a web interface and writes the framebuffer.
Linux (Epic Go app) also has a uart connection to the base esp32 that communicates with the remotes over esp-now

Every seller has a product lineup of low, medium, and high tier variants.

I got a Hellhound and temps are never higher than 80 for memory or 87 for hotspot.

most of the gains come from overclocking the memory and that can be a tricky one since it can be stable in 3dmark but unstable in various shit from ai to games, you dont get messed up graphics you just get worse performance.

Any version of Windows since 1995 has been more polished, production-ready and user-friendly than any Linux distro ever made. That's obvious to anybody who has installed both of them on the same machine.

Are Linux users just lying about their distros being a better experience than a Windows installation?

Because these days it is provided you aren't tech illiterate.

Being familiar with Windows and unfamiliar with Linux doesn't make Windows "better".

Linux is often sold as progress, but philosophically it feels like a step backward. The people who shaped the field at its best, Engelbart, Alan Kay, Licklider, were trying to make computers amplify human thought, not turn users into part time system administrators. Engelbart wanted integrated systems that helped people reason, collaborate, and build knowledge. Kay imagined the computer as a living medium, something you could understand, reshape, and learn from. Linux goes in the opposite direction. It inherits the Unix mindset where the system is a miserable little pile of loosely connected tools and the human is expected to glue them together through arcane commands and configuration files. Complexity is not reduced, it is pushed onto the user and normalized as a virtue. Instead of higher level concepts, Linux clings to decades old abstractions like everything being a file, text streams as universal interfaces, and shells as the main way to think. The result is a system no single person can fully understand, held together by conventions, folklore, and cargo cult practices. What makes this worse is the culture that formed around it. A common trait among Linux enthusiasts is a mix of resentment and shallow elitism, where struggling with the system is reframed as proof of intelligence or moral superiority. Difficulty becomes a badge of honor rather than a design failure. Many users overestimate their understanding, mastering a narrow set of commands and rituals while mistaking familiarity for depth. This Dunning–Kruger confidence feeds contempt for ordinary users and for systems that aim to be coherent and humane, as if usability were a flaw rather than the point. Instead of demanding better abstractions, the culture defends rough edges as character building. In that sense, Linux does not just fall short technically. It fosters an attitude that resists the ideals of clarity, empathy, and intellectual humility that the great figures of computing actually stood for.
