apparently there now exists a native PC port for the XBLA remake of Goldeneye

https://github.com/SunJaycy/GoldenEye-Recomp/releases

I just tested it with my copy of bean i downloaded years ago and it works perfectly with a gamepad.

@theorytoe @PurpCat if only he had personally fostered a culture of understanding and forgiveness instead of destroy people for minor or past infractions

@bronze @PurpCat @gabriel @mischievoustomato The kiwis found out much more, such as his reddit posts arguing about age of consent and his picture albums where he was favoriting cute n' funny things, and, kiwis being kiwis, they started a campaign against him, and he's still pretty mad about it

I like to think of him as an actually capable enough YandereDev that did actually study things well enough, but never dropped his other things

@mischievoustomato @gabriel also his whole career was going after people for shit they did elsewhere and now people do the same to him and he's whining about the DAMN KIWIFARMERS instead of being accountable for raising this culture online

Pov: you're reaping what you sow

@gabriel @PurpCat drew devault said spicy stuff in the past, and he fostered a sjw culture. Now, said sjw culture kicked him out

@Griffith people trooning out on here as if we're on discord

Now they want my burner phone!

Headline: "FCC wants to kill burner phones by forcing telecoms to get customer IDs"

Ok, so honestly I don't carry around a phone with or without a SIM card ordinarily. At least not one with an active cellular component.. but talk about ridicules and none of this will even have the impact that they supposedly want.

An entertaining comment about this fight:

"Every web site needs your phone number, every online order... Businesses don't take cash any more. Every web site tracks you and sells data to the brokers. Only Linux installs without an email address and phone number for 2FA and password recovery. Video games, every chat app force an account.

This fight was lost decades ago, and now we have to live with it."

Part true, part over dramatization of the situation in so far as it is still possible however tricky to mitigate many of the privacy issues.

SIMs: Prepaid cards exist, can be bought without ID, and with cash everywhere. Not private enough? You can also get esims online with crypto.

Phones themselves: Yea, that's a bit more tricky. However there are plenty of people who will sell you a flashed or unlocked phone and even with crypto/cash. Best just not utilize a cell phone.

Banks: Also a tricky one, but if you open your eyes you will find a lot of places you can avoid debit/credit cards by using cryptocurrencies like Monero.

Online shops: There are stores that take cash by mail, cryptocurrencies, and privacy providers that will even get you stuff that you'd ordinarily need to purchase through a major company.

Companies not taking cash? Don't use them. I went 5,000 miles and didn't use plastic except for hotel check-ins.

Chat app: Use Matrix/Mastodon. No ID required.

imo that they can't do without harping against "libertarianism" just displays they lack the concepts to understand the freedom in free software (and likely life in general).

people doing things with your software you didn't intend is precisely what free software is about. don't like honest to god national socialists use your software? better don't use a free software license, but a proprietary EULA.

and, if you use "FOSS" in the first place, it's not about software freedom anyway. open source isn't free software, it's distinct.

interestingly enough many "open source" licensed projects always had an aura of grandeur around their leadership and elitism in general. which isn't a problem if they are honest about it: sqlite doesn't really accept patches from the outside, but they clearly say it on their page. if i don't like it, it's public domain, i can fork away as much as i please.

people mistaking free software for fully established gay space communism. as long as the license is free, the software is free. the way a project is run has nothing to do with it.

i don't like the llm craze as well. it's not good for software llongevity, it's not good for peoples brains. the generated code likely is tainted by incompatible licenses, which will be fun to watch when the first court decisions come in, forcing projects to roll back for years.

I've just created a little amazon store where people can buy EcoNet devices to try them out.

Since EcoNet devices were typically sold only to ISPs as fiber modems, it's often hard to get ahold of them.

I'm selling a package of 2 GS3101s for 30€. They have OpenWrt pre-installed from my EcoNet branch. Be advised, the wifi chip does not work reliably on these devices so it is disabled.
