They have open sourced their client software and libraries, but the core of what they provide is closed source software that runs on their servers.

Not just that. Apple themselves beat Microsoft where they reverse engineered MS Office and played the cat and mouse game long enough that Microsoft released their office file format specifications publicly for everyone as a standardized format.

iPad works more like a terminal environment than a standalone device. Don’t expect running piracy software directly on it, but you get a pretty good experience connecting to your home server.

Most snes RPGs arguably aren’t better for their length.

Plagiarism is obviously a word with very strong negative connotations. If you want to discuss the technology and it’s differences between a different solution that tries to solve the same problem and not accuse someone of stealing, it’s usually best not to use this type of language in general.

Wouldn’t the unfair advantage only hold water if they blocked unauthorized accessories only with online multi-player games and leave single-player experiences alone?

With an external USB disk drive you can.

It’s a toy for people who are interested in hacking/pentesting. Sure, you can do everything it does with a phone, but without the toy like aspects.

Tbh you can do literally everything that a PC can with a phone. Doesn’t mean that a phone is the most fun to use for whatever you’re trying to use it for.

Beehaw doesn’t have downvotes enabled. We try to be positive here.

No one here says they have data that disproves it though?

They’re the “political cartoon” of gamers.

Dome Keeper, The Case of the Golden Idol are both pretty good 2d games made with Godot.

Yeah, I’ve read around their documentation and they have a pretty compelling reason why one should prefer search engines where you directly pay to the search provider instead of relying on third parties such as advertisers to pay for your search usage.

Dual screen was a great feature with a handheld with two tiny screens. They tried it with WiiU on the home console and it was a massive failure. The Switch maybe doesn’t have dual screens, but the single screen is bigger than even the 3ds screens combined and they managed to port almost all WiiU exclusives to it with minimum loss of functionality.

Maybe the revolutionary feature was the added screen real estate the dual screens allowed for instead of there just being two screens.

But you don’t want that either. This opens up a way for people to demand others to prove they voted a certain way - I.e. abusive family could force all family members to vote the same. Paper ballots shouldn’t ever be identifiable back to anyone.

If you need the person to walk somewhere, physically show a voter ID to someone to be let into a private area where they receive their private key in a machine for them to then vote remotely, wouldn’t it be easier just to remove the entire technology part of the equation and just make them put a piece of paper inside an envelope in that private area, so that they can then put that piece of paper into a public ballot box right after?

Electronic voting is a bad idea in general, blockchain isn’t going to fix that.

They’re perfectly capable of running old games, they proved it times and times again. They just don’t want them to be backwards compatible so you have to buy them again.

I mean you could describe basically every phone as this. iPhone is “just a regular phone with a locked down OS”, foldables are “just regular phones with a flexible screen”. Different people have different design sensibilities, to some this might be ideal.

It doesn’t really matter though. It will take away jobs from people in creative industries that only creative people were able to do before. The end result is basically the same.

I really can’t stress how good PaperWM is in combination with a touchpad. I wouldn’t recommend it at all on a mouse-only environment, but when you can use multitouch gestures to scroll through the workspace it works really well.
