I've effectively disabled it by setting the quota so absurdly high, even a bot wouldn't be able to hit it. I understand his reasoning, and I don't agree. It's good that Admins can set the quota themselves.

I know of at least one prolific person (PugJesus) that quit the fediverse because of it. And they did post a lot to cool niche communities I am subscribed to, and I enjoyed their contributions. Unfortunately they do not want to do another instance migration.

I'm glad Rimu disclosed it either way, instead of silently adding it.

Yay! Thank you for your effort the past 3 years. You've made piefed a mature and feature-rich piece of software.

Great job

The main feed did. Web did work that made me go here, but it seems to have fixed itself?

[–] DosDude@retrofed.com 3 points 3 days ago (3 children)

This update seems to have broken piefed support?

I see no problem here.

But also Europe. In the Netherlands the amount of sms is still limited

This guy has never been relevant in my home country in Europe. I'm pretty sure at least 99.5% of people here had never heard from him including me. It was still on national news the entire day, and the aftermath in the following week was on the news too. So yeah. Everyone can be a pretty apt description.

Now there's a game in my game library that I forgot about! I'll install it and play it soon! Thanks for the reminder.

Jolla, ex nokia employees, just sent out their first batch of the Jolla phone. It uses sailfishOS, a Linux based operating system capable of running android apps.

I'm in the wait list for my own.

You can’t rule out the possibility that executives are idiots, but that shouldn’t be your default belief. I don’t think there is any obvious path that would have doubled the revenue from Id games.

Could they have gotten more with a different pricing strategy? Could they have created more things for fans to buy? Could they have cost-effectively marketed in a way that reached more players who would have loved and bought the games? Could they have changed the game designs and broadened the appeal to more players without alienating existing ones? Could they have produced the games at a lower cost, faster or cheaper? I really don’t know.

The actual quote that means the actual opposite of the title.

In case anyone is wonder why progress on the emulator appears slow or feature requests feel ignored, we are currently still understaffed and have, in addition to new bugs reported every day that have to be fixed, a backlog of items on our internal TODO list such as:

  • EISA;
  • Turbo Button for XT PCs;
  • Emulation of the ESS Solo-1;
  • PD (Phase-change Dual) and DVD-RAM support;
  • IBM Expanded Memory Adapter (XMA);
  • Passthrough of real CD/DVD drives to the emulator on macOS;
  • Support for cloneCD and TOC CD-ROM image files;
  • Mitsumi CD-ROM emulation (it would also allow eventual emulation of the Tandy VIS).

In addition, we are currently in severe need of developers and/or maintainers for the following:

  • New dynamic recompiler;
  • macOS support;
  • Emulation of the NEC PC-98 family of computers;
  • A potential built-in non-GDBSTUB debugger to replace the current GDBSTUB implementation;
  • Our SDL backend;
  • The ImGui OSD;
  • The Qt UI.

We would also appreciate anyone who could help the fixing of issues that get reported to our GitHub or in our Discord server.

Over three decades later, this historical curiosity has more than a few rough edges...
