SimCity 2000 isn't on ProtonDB because they only list Steam games. It's on Lutris though with multiple automatic install scripts for different versions, so it should be fairly easy to get running.

In general I've had way less trouble getting ancient Windows games to run on modern Linux than on modern Windows.

RPCS3 is indeed excellent, but if you look at their compatibility list about a third of all games aren't in a playable state. The big exclusive titles people usually set up an emulator for will work for the most part, but outside of that it quickly becomes a lot sketchier.

It sounds vague and will either end up being a very powerful tool or almost useless. If it's the former, it would be gigantic win indeed.

I hate how oddly specific "Moved from Jekyll to Hugo people" is, mostly because that's exactly what I did as well. I don't use it to write any blog posts though. It's more a "Here's a list of things I've created"-generator.

[...] I didn't bother to activate 2fa on my github account. I ended up writing a simple fetch for fun, ...

I'm not judging, but reading those two lines back to back is pretty funny.

Also good to know what causes those seams. I've noticed it in some consoles, but never bothered to check why exactly that is.

Yup. I've always loved having a handheld device as a companion to my PC. The first few months with the Switch were great, but as time went on I just wanted a better designed Switch that's also just a PC, particularly after getting hardware-banned for trying to fix some of the issues myself with homebrew apps.

I never would've thought that we'd actually get to see a device that's real so quickly (anyone remember the Smach Z?), is actually pretty good and how quickly it's now becoming its own market segment.

It's one of the very few things Microsoft actually gets right on their websites. You select to log in with a passkey, authenticate, optionally select which account you want to use, and you're signed in. Not a single username or password entered into the website.

That whole industry can cease to exist from one day to the next and nothing of value would be lost - if anything value would be gained for the average person

That last point can't be stressed enough. The whole marketing sector is essentially a net negative to society because neither an actual product gets produced nor any useful service is offered.

Different person, but I started using vertical tabs a few weeks ago and gave both extensions a try for a few days.

I'm using Sideberry now. It seems more polished to me with lots more features. I particularly like how well it integrates with Firefox containers and that you can create tab groups, which are essentially tabs for tabs.

I just got the (first) completionist achievement after 60 hours plus however many I spent on the demo. I might try a few of the challenges and try to win with the final stake at least once, but after that I think I'm done.

It's an absolutely amazing game and has secured its place in my deck building hall of fame beside Slay the Spire and Wildfrost.

Something I completely missed, due to the insanity that is the runtime fee, is that they're also getting rid of their Plus subscription.

While Plus never had a bunch of benefits, it was basically the edition for individuals and very small teams who just wanted to get rid of the splash screen. These users would have to use Pro now, which is 5x more expensive at 2040$/year/seat.

The roadmaps over last few years already showed that they don't really care about indie devs anymore, but now it feels like they've become actively hostile.

Despite the warning I skimmed the "article" and the website, which seems to be owned by OP judging by their post history, and can agree. Just a bunch of disconnected rants written in a condescending tone.

No examples or statistics, or any attempt to source any of the claims either.

Considering OP is also trying to sell their services, that makes it quite possibly the worst attempt at disguised advertising I've ever seen.
