yeah pretty much everyone I know who used to use something like sublime text or atom or notepad++ has moved to vscode at this point. the holdouts are usually the same ones who scream BUT MICROSOFT EVIL as their reason

it's a little endearing when someone is using vscode or sublime or notepad++. like watching an ant struggle to pull something 10x its size

Having opened a js/ts thing in vscode recently I was pleasantly surprised to find that it actually has "go to definition/ Implementation/references thing" and that sometimes it even works. With regards to operating systems one should remember that Windows costs well over a hundred bucks to purchase in the cheapest version before comparing it to Linux which costs zero bucks in most versions (that come without support). Windows being at the prizepoint of a reasonably serious piece of software, the comparison to linux shouldn't be as balanced as it is, windows should absolutely obliterate any free OS. But it doesn't, it's a weird user-hostile POS like we've accepted all OSs to be. It's just as quirky and finicky as the lunixes, only in a slightly different way. My god, imagine if any other 140$ piece of software showed you ads, people would go mental.

sorry for phoronix-posting, but i think this was a little interesting at least Cemu Emulator Plans For 2022 With Going Open-Source, Aiming For Linux Support isn't cemu like the only emulator out there that doesn't work on linux

That reads like they are doing a major clean up and Linux support is a side effect of getting rid of proprietary third party libraries. Sounds good to me.

Tankakern posted:sorry for phoronix-posting, but i think this was a little interesting at least i never understood the point of making free emulators closed-source. all it does is limit development by forbidding contributors and means that when the author no longer has the time and/or drive to continue working on it, it ends up bit rotting and anyone who wants to further the work on emulating platform x is starting completely from scratch either way, it's good that this is happening for the sake of the 5 or 6 good wii-u games that aren't (yet) available on the switch. i was going to lol that the article talks about them porting the build system to make of all things in 2022, but phoronix got it wrong from the source and they are using cmake.

I can understand not open sourcing when you are ashamed of the horrific atrocities you've coded that only through happenstance work and so you put "open source this" on your rodemap right after "completely rebuild everything properly"

I'm a bit surprised by how good Switch emulation is. Presumably the two main emulators do dynamic binary translation from ARM(64?) and also have to translate nvidia shader binaries into a higher-level shader source language. Sure LLVM can do a lot of the heavy lifting for you but implementing something like that is still far from trivial. On the other hand, nearly ten years after the console came out there still isn't a public PS4 emulator anywhere, and that console uses an x86 SoC, a bastardized version of FreeBSD, and a GPU that's almost identical to a publicly documented consumer GPU. I don't get it.

mystes posted:Does it do Wii U emulation though? Ahh, I guess that's the difference. I still haven't tried any of those old school emulators, has anyone tried to add them through steam to stream through to the couch via steam link? Might need to try that would be dope to be able to play some old games in the living room.

more architectures sounds wild not that this stuff would run on a raspberry pi 4 (although maybe it could be possible) but it would be nice to have a wii-u -like handheld ARM device. Then again, the steam deck has touchscreen.

tbqh much like the switch made the wii-u kind of irrelevant i think switch emulators have made wii-u emulators pretty irrelevant. a handful of cool games wii-u-exclusive still, but most because they use the hardware in some interesting way which will be almost hopeless to make enjoyable in an emulator anyway. but some preservation at least.

You can fall into a support hole on windows. "AMD or Nvidia GPU" can actually be a hard requirement that takes a lot of effort to work around. I was in the absurd position of using Linux for gaming on my Iris Xe laptop because it was more reliable.

Computers have kinda made the metaphor irrelevant/anachronistic. Most young people have never seen a massive filing room where everybody has to follow a filing system or stuff gets lost. My dad was a cable splicer and he had a filing cabinet with his own system for managing his affairs. Everyone I know now has a box or drawer and relies on scans.
