  • It’s an interesting article and I’m also starting to think more and more about game preservation.

    I don’t understand why a company like Sony wouldn’t provide you a way to play ps1-3 games on your ps5. I would even be ready to pay for it.

    There might be some technical problems I’m not seeing, but people can do it on older pc’s…

    I guess the whole video game industry has to think about preserving its own history.

    I don’t know if open sourcing games would help, but something needs to be done.

    Even playing a game like Sim City 2000 on pc is proving challenging now on Windows. I would want to play it on Linux but I can’t imagine how difficult that would be as the game isn’t even listed in Proton DB. And the VM solution would probably not work as Steam wouldn’t support something like Windows XP…



  • I guess so many countries are in the same position. Of course none of them is exactly in the same position, but almost every country is using Microsoft products.

    To me this sounds crazy as you could have two enemies relying on the same company to provide an OS for them.

    In a way, it would make sense for every country to have their own Linux distribution, tailored to their needs. I’ve only heard about India, some states in Germany doing this, but it seems like the perfect strategy.

    My country is really regarding about what its employees are doing with the citizens data, but I guess they’re still relying on Microsoft to store all that data in many different countries.







  • I always admire the people taking a lot of their free time to do something beneficial for the community.

    Be it as a maintainer, a small basketball coach. a village politician.

    I’ve always thought about one day giving back everything I’ve received like that, but I haven’t done yet. Right now I have excuses with a difficult parental situation, but there has been many moments where I could and I just haven’t.

    So congratulations and thanks to the ones doing it 👍
