A friend gave me a PS2 for free a while back, I’ll need to try this one day

As long as it can run Doom, yes

There’s that one person born and raised in Vatican City who’s just been waiting their whole life for this one moment.

But it only pays $30k/yr

@gitgud@lemmy.ml avatar

Job positions for people from Vatican City rarely pay the full amount in standard currencies.

Once you factor in the little boy buttholes, the overall comp package for Vatican employees looks much better overall (to the Vatican employees, to be clear)

Yeah…it’s an entrenched organization that protects and nurtures sexual offenders as a matter of policy. And they have essentially unlimited wealth and capital resources at their disposal. It’s pretty fucked

bane_killgrind ,

Oh I know, I’m just wondering how the IRS would tax that… Some percentage? Are there even any expats working in the Vatican?

I should apply and tell them I’m a Latin American

lugal , to memes in Zionism is a terrorist ideology

Let’s hope so. Terrorists always fail while freedom fighters always succeed. That’s because history is written by Victors and not by terrorists

Flummoxed ,

Ah, yes, all the Victors… Which one of you got this one?

Viking_Hippie ,

I think it’s the turn of Bulgarian physicist Ninov

bl_r ,

I find this statement funny cuz it also implies that the reason why freedom fighters are not terrorists is because they won, and likewise the only reason why terrorists are deemed such is because they lost.

They can’t be called terrorists because they are whiter I guess

Confidant6198 OP ,

That hasn’t stopped them

Too often, the prevalence of right wing domestic terrorism in the US gets ignored. The Oklahoma City bombing, Dylann Roof, anti-abortion violence, and the Orlando nightclub shooting just to name a few. As far back as 1870, the KKK was formally considered to be a terrorist organization. Lynching is considered a terrorist act.

refurbishedrefurbisher , to linux_gaming in Am I doing this right?

IIRC Sony allowed Linux to be ran on both the PS2 and PS3 so that they could sell the systems as computers in the US instead of video game consoles, since computers have a lower import tax rate compared fo video game systems.

This was, of course, until Sony removed OtherOS support in the PS3 firmware 3.21 on phat models after shipping Slim units without OtherOS and then got sued for it. It was removed because George Hotz found an exploit in OtherOS that allowed for full access to the hardware, as OtherOS did not have full access to the GPU hardware of the PS3. Ironically, this made the PS3 more of a target to hackers, since hackers generally just want to be able to run homebrew on their devices that they bought. This is why the Xbox One and Series consoles were never hacked, since they allow for homebrew via DevMode.

MDKAOD OP ,

The tax loophole was a perceived reason, but it was never proven to be true. The closest admission to it was Sony losing a lawsuit related to the situation and Sony admitting that something related to Yabasic was intended to skirt EU tax law, not Linux for PS2. I never heard of Yabasic before today.

Fun fact, Geohot owns a company that jailbreaks cars and their adaptive cruise control systems now.

electricprism ,

I like this post and find it generally helpful however feel the last line about why Xbox One hasn’t been emulated yet is in my opinion both opinion and speculation, which is fine –

I think the community could come up with some robust counter arguments about why this hasnt occured yet, maybe there not being interest due to catalog overlap between Xbox and Windows PC since the OS is basically a custom Windows with a custom Direct X, as is the case for Xbox Y2K, and Xbox 360 and has been put into a virtual machine AFAIK via Xemu and Xenia. Following that legacy, Xbox fans have always seemed slower than other fans to emulate their consoles – for whatever reason.

refurbishedrefurbisher ,

I’m not talking about emulating the consoles; I am talking about hacking them to run unsigned code.

Ptsf ,

Actually just got my $20 for this. Class actions work sometimes I guess. 10 years after the fact.

s12 ,

WTF? Only $20? Please tell me that people could get more. Especially if it isn’t automatic.

carl_the_grackle ,

The Xbox One consoles were never hacked because Microsoft went paranoid crazy on the security model

barsquid ,

That’s really fascinating. Now Google wants to do this same thing on your computer hardware to ensure people are forced to look at ads.

Steamymoomilk ,

And that one other time the US goverment built a super computer out of Ps3’s (no im not joking)

That thing was a price to performance beast back then

Skunk ,

I’ve read it was just to shit with Microsoft by announcing that computers were tools of the past for gaming AND non gaming (and earn money).

Pushing Microsoft to invest billions to develop the Xbox on Windows (which ultimately did not run on windows) to shit with Sony, and earn money…

badbytes , to linux_gaming in Am I doing this right?

I believe that software was pirated. Probably contains a virus.

MDKAOD OP ,

Nope, this was an official, legally sold product. Came with a keyboard, mouse, 40gb HDD, and PS2 ethernet adapter. Required an 8MB memory card to function and installed via command line. It’s a pretty cool piece of history.

Steamymoomilk ,

Its me mario on the ps2

The real question as can you run gentoo on the Ps2

(I believe playstations runs a version of gentoo for its OS? I think)

Haijo7 ,
@Haijo7@snac.haijo.eu avatar

The operating systems from the PS3, PS4, PS5, 3DS and Switch and Mac OS are based on FreeBSD. The Wii U probably also runs something based on FreeBSD.
Linux for the PS2 is based on Red Hat.
Chrome OS is based on Gentoo

Neat, I had no idea. Can’t wait to pull this out on trivia night lol

Every fucking time! I just know that whenever I see this guy on a post, this comment will be the first one I see. “He dOseN’T DeseRVe a MemE teMPlaTe” like it’s some big fucking honor for your picture to be posted on Lemmy with some random fucking text. Nobody fucking cares!

FartsWithAnAccent ,
@FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io avatar

Looks like people do care though so I guess your point doesn't really stand now does it?

Also, that shitgibbon's name is on the mugs and people already know what the meme is, so that point doesn't really stand either.

yokonzo ,

No, I personally don’t care.I also think it’s kind of a dumb thing to care about. Just as you should learn to separate art from artist, you should also learn to separate dirt bag from meme.

The dudes wife left him and his career is ruined, IIRC, we won. If you go off Everytime you see the widely popular meme all you’re doing is wearing yourself out with anger because you can’t educate every single person on the Internet and i promise you it will never stop happening.

Let it go.

FartsWithAnAccent ,
@FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io avatar

Nah, fuck that guy. We didn't do shit, that asshole ruined his own career. Nobody made him do shit.

Also, you clearly do care because you keep arguing about it.

yokonzo ,

That is literally the first post I’ve made in this thread my dude, check you’re actually arguing with who you think you’re arguing with

Eh, I assume there are a phenomenal number of job descriptions that are just copy-pasted over. Native [language] speaker, 5+ years coding experience in [framework that’s been around for 3 years], etc.

OsrsNeedsF2P ,

Sure, but if it happened I’d see a screenshot of the job posting, not someone who tweeted about totally seeing it

Soon it will be a honeypot to filter AI generated applications. I can exclude the resumes of applicants who claim to meet my bogus desired qualification.
