How much of that is related to GOG's reputation for being selective about what games and genres they accept? I get the impression that GOG is a bit more "curated" than some other PC game stores. The curators don't really want visual novels (a style of menu-driven adventure game). And apart from new releases by CD Projekt (which owned GOG before the end of 2025), I suspect that GOG seeks to poach "catalog" games that have already been successful on the competing store Steam as opposed to having a game at day one.

Use of "digital" meaning purchasing a download appears to have originated in "digital phonorecord delivery", a term of art in a United States copyright law.

My own NES emulator is on Codeberg, but there are well over a dozen emulators on GitHub. Start here:

- LIJI32/SameBoy (Game Boy)
- TASEmulators/fceux (NES)
- mgba-emu/mgba (Game Boy, Game Boy Advance)
- nesdev-org/MesenCE (NES, Super NES, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, PC Engine, Master System/Game Gear, WonderSwan)
- jsgroth/jgenesis (Mega Drive/Mega CD, Super NES, Master System/Game Gear)
- dolphin-emu/dolphin (GameCube, Wii)
- stenzek/duckstation (PlayStation)
- ares-emulator/ares (numerous)
- Dwedit/PocketNES (PocketNES on Game Boy Advance)
- FluBBaOfWard/NitroSwan (WonderSwan on Nintendo DS)
- FluBBaOfWard/NGPDS (Neo Geo Pocket on Nintendo DS)
- FluBBaOfWard/NitroGrafx (PC Engine on Nintendo DS)

Which emulator of a 20+-year-old console did you see deleted from GitHub, unless it included ROMs or system software copied without permission?

The problem is that a lot of home ISPs don't let their customers port forward because there just aren't enough IPv4 addresses to go around, and I'd bet a lot of your audience are behind ISPs that don't provide IPv6 (such as Frontier fiber). When an ISP is using carrier-grade network address translation (CGNAT) to put an entire neighborhood behind a single IPv4 address, how would the ISP's router know to which customer to direct a TCP SYN packet received at that address? I guess each Forgejo instance operator could pay per month for some sort of proxy service using a reverse SSH tunnel.

This is mostly just civil slander lawsuits ramping up. People are getting way to comfortable stepping on other peoples rights and slandering in what is basically a public forum.

... on the rise. Who would've thunk?

Love it. That Prof has every right to roast his students.

Somehow the links got borked. Likely during the copy-over from my orignial sub.

Here's the fix:

If you're using your Google Account to sync your TOTP keys across devices using Google's Authenticator app, you need some way to sign in to Google for that.

Which is the bigger problem IMHO.

If you want "as dumb as possible", the search keyword for that is "static site generator". Then you can redirect /wp-admin/ to Automattic's front page.

The Duesseldorf Media Harbour is special in the way that the folks there didn't just chat about exotic technologies but actually used them for mission critical stuff to very significant competitive advantages. For instance: The core of Trivagos money making machine is a sophisticated use-case of an event-sourcing Kafka setup. The Invision Callcenter Software folks right next door build their products in Elixir, an exotic modern PL with a hard emphasis on concurrency running on Erlang foundations.

Regular meetups at Sipgate just around the corner covered super clean and stable real-world n-dimensional scalability of real-time systems, the type of which you'd expect from a pioneer VOIP provider built entirely on FOSS, agile principles and running with less than 200 employees but will never see in any generic German KMU (small to medium sized business) because they simply wouldn't get it. They don't just talk big words with zero substance on agility, but actually practice it. Likewise a Dart & Flutter Application crew at Vodaphone headquarters or a small but competent crew from Solingen doing full-scale billing at Peek & Cloppenburg with a custom Scala application.

Botton line: 90%+ of people at those meetups and giving talks and presentations we're completely beyond the usual mediocre bloated and badly managed C#/Java stuff. The exemplary efficiency of the folks I met throughout the years was staggering and a real regular breath of fresh air starkly contrasting the garbage I had to regularly deal with when salvaging yet another shoddy setup cobbled together by some agency and a few badly paid WP plugin jockeys. I'd argue the quality density in that small area is even higher than SV average with considerable network and attraction effects.
