EmuDeck is more complete, and is easier to setup especially for recent console (e.g. Switch). However it's a script that installs a bunch of flatpaks and puts files all over your device.

RetroDeck is a self-contained unique application so it's cleaner, but last time I checked it was a bit more difficult to get Yuzu to work.

Also, EmuDeck creates individual Steam games for each of your game while RetroDeck is a launcher (EmulationStation) for all your retro game. Whether it's a pro for one or the other is up to personal taste.

To be exact it's not a translation layer, but a reimplementation of the Windows APIs and ABIs on Linux.

That's why there is no performance cost.

Check again Linux gaming, Proton/Wine is surprisingly viable now and the vast majority of games run without any issue.

What would happen is not dentists installing your software themselves, without support.

What would happen, and already happened countless times is that you see companies appearing that will sell services to install and maintain your open source software. It will be done by software developers just like you, except they can spend their whole time working for their customer instead of working on improving the software itself.

You will soon realize that you make money from the same activity as them, except you also have to maintain the software (and spent time to build it in the first place).

Of course you can use shady techniques to make it harder for others to understand your code, or release the open source version with a delay, but if you play by the usual rules of open source, with open development, third party developers will be able to acquire as much knowledge as you about the product.

See, that's the feeling Ubuntu/Fedora users had when hearing how Arch would solve all their inexistant problems.

The bottom line is, there are a lot of Linux distros, most of them are great, so if you're happy with your choice then so be it!

As soon as you can choose, fine.

If you can add "current location" which is dynamic, or specific cities, it's fine for me.

Them suddenly 90% of people will decide to kill!

Jerboa is fine, but it's not as good as some of the Reddit apps.

Anyway it's great to see developers of Reddit apps releasing apps for Lemmy, because UI wise it's so close that they will probably be able to reuse most of their code. We'll get all the maturity of these apps on day 1 of the release, and competition between the apps will be healthy.

I got used to the analog stick for direction, even for retro games.

To the point that I only use the d-pad as 4 buttons (like most modern games use it) or sometimes to navigate in menus.

As we are seeing the same issues with Lemmy and Mastodon I'm starting to think there is something fundamentally wrong with ActivityPub.

Because instances pull content from others they have a responsibility in the content, so instances with different rules can't really work together.

If on the other hand we had a lighter integration between instances, like for example RSS to consume from multiple instances and only having federation for identity management (like OpenID or OAuth) I feel like we could avoid a lot of drama.

I imagine that person really believes that ChatGPT can actually replace a developer and I can't blame them for it after all the media have said about ChatGPT.

But for the record, no a non-developer with access to a AI absolutely doesn't replace a developer.

Also I think it was trained to avoid anything sexual or offensive to any kind of group (racism, sexism, homophobia...) and when the remove that the jokes pool shrinks considerably.
