Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Run PS3 Games nativelyEnglish
14·5 days agoGabe Newell famously participated in an interview about the same subject when porting The Orange Box, and as a result handed the port off to EA (which ended up running like dogshit compared to all other platforms).

9·5 days agoOf course, and I’m not knocking the FEX project. I’m just pointing out that there is no native solution to running programs built for other hardware architectures (other than a port adapted from source).
The PS3’s CELL is just so egregiously unique that it has a massive emulation overhead compared to ARM or any other more common/simple hardware architecture - less understood overall, and less understood in how it can be translated to x86 compared to ARM->x86.

19·5 days agoThis is not apples to apples whatsoever. Following this logic I can run ARM programs natively on x86 hardware thanks to android using the Linux kernel in its development.
You will need a compatibility layer regardless for different hardware architectures from your own. This includes the PS3’s CELL based hardware (which is why RPCS3 needs so much power to emulate the system at good speeds). Now if you ran Linux on your PS3, there is a possibility to do this (but then you’d have to emulate x86 games on your PS3).

Again, depends on region. Given prior electoral results from 2016 and 2024 though, I think it’s fair to say more veterans from W. Virginia voted for Trump than veterans from Washington state.
I don’t think it’s honest to compare military service to welfare though - the occupational hazards aside, you sign away most of your freedom of movement and independence while in active duty (whereas welfare is designed to assist people who are struggling in the active moment rather than having them sign away their autonomy for years or even decades).
It’s largely regional, so to be honest the statistic is more valid when looking at things from a local level rather than a national level.
West Virginia would be in a much worse state for their populace compared to Washington state, for instance.
(Especially since W. Virginia has a much higher percentage of veterans and general poverty rates. Serving in the military is sometimes seen as an employer of last resort.)

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Is game console (hardware) piracy a thing?English
3·9 days agoIt’s not very viable compared to just generic handhelds and mini-PCs that can run emulators or pirated PC/android games.
It’s common for very low cost machines like famiclones tho.
The VA is supposed to, but like Medicare/Medicaid, is hampered in its ability to be distributed to all those who need it.
There’s a reason “not service related” has become an in-joke among active/former servicemembers, sadly.

51·10 days agoDRM-Free files that the user can archive on their own media, in their own format, as they wish.
The ability to distribute media without shipping physical goods allows for much smaller productions to have wide releases and in some cases to make their games cheaper than otherwise required (cough, switch tax). The issue is the DRM preventing the user from making their own backups, rather than the physical product (although steam does allow you to make backups and copies of your library folder which is cool).

Technology@lemmy.world•‘Grand Theft Auto VI’ Going Digital-Only Is a Car Crash for Physical MediaEnglish
6·17 days agoNot to ridicule your prior decisions, but it’s been obvious since at least the xb360 days that gaming on a locked platform (console ecosystem) would always lead to the revocation of ownership and the inability to do what you wish with your own hardware and games (unless you modded them, and I recommend modding your old consoles if you still have them).
There is no future for true game ownership on a locked platform. Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft understand this quite well, which is why you are lured in to a walled garden with the cheaper “cost of entry”, and have no true exit that lets you keep your stuff as they gouge you further and further.

161·17 days agoI mean it might just shift to services like GOG. I use Bandcamp for music and don’t buy physical CDs anymore because the files are DRM-free and easy to archive. Same with GOG for games I own on it.
Now, Rockstar is definitely not doing a DRM-free release though. Hopefully a cracked version circulates eventually.
