The architecture is certainly a big issue.

Nothing else really maps 1:1 to the PS3 CPU. The main overhead is not from translating the libraries. It’s emulating the CPU/recompiling the code.

There would likely be no efficiency gain from running the games on software that more closely matches the PS3 OS.

It’d be like the difference of using windows instead of proton to run games. Not always better. Sometimes worse.

Not on stock ROM. IIRC back when I was messing with that kind of thing, you needed a custom kernel.

Something with an open source cannot be paywalled. You can charge for it, or use it in things that your charge for, but you can’t make a purchase the only way to get it.

Free as in freedom? Or free as in for free and at no charge?

Because the nature of FOSS makes it REALLY difficult to take away either.

I think of them as on the same spectrum.

A thin skinned person, is someone when you stab verbally or try to otherwise harm them in a non-physical manner, it goes straight through, and they are hurt by it. It affects their confidence, behaviour and health.

A thick skinned person, is someone you can insult, and they can dismiss the meaning of the words, and be unaffected by the intended harm.

But that is not mutually exclusive with going “wtf, did you just try to stab me?”. They are opposites, in the sense that the word describes whether malicious words or actions can “pass through” and have the intended effect.

But if someone tries to shoot me, and I’m wearing armor that means it won’t kill me, that still leaves the fact that they tried to shoot me. That I was able to survive it does not make the attempt on my life ok. Being thick skinned, or “wearing armor”, doesn’t mean you react to attacks with inaction.

It describes whether you suffer harm when under fire. Not how you behave in reaction to it.

A lot of people think of being thick skinned as synonymous with turning the other cheek. But being able to take BS doesn’t mean you have to passively allow it.

You don’t sound thin skinned.

Having a thick skin doesn’t mean being unbothered by people trying to walk over you, and thereby letting them.

I get accused of being thinskinned sometimes because of starting a confrontation over a problem or behaviour I’ve noticed, but that makes no sense. Being sensitive to issues is not a weakness, and being numb to them is certainly not a strength.

I can push for change precisely because I’m unbothered by the stress of working against the status quo.

But like others said, you don’t always need to convince. If you say you won’t cover a task because it’s not your responsibility, then there is nothing to discuss. If they expect a task to be done even when you said it won’t, that is not your problem.

It’s theirs.

Why would you mirror, when you could federate?

There’s a difference between using AI to apply fixes for problems, and using AI to find problems that you didn’t know about.

Mythos does the latter, not the former.

Ah, no. I’m not familiar with how to do that.

But I wouldn’t think so? I’m more familiar with KDE, but with it at least I’ve always found ways to edit some files somewhere to accomplish what I want.

So far.

For this I’ve just been creating folders and setting their icons manually.

You mean the icons?

At least in KDE dolphin, you can edit any folder and set the icon as whatever you like. It’ll follow the theme color too, if you use the right icon.

The qpwgraph workaround works in the matrix clients as well, but passing media audio into a WebRTC stream meant for voice is not ideal. Any decent client is likely to heavily filter out background audio (which with a game would be a lot of the ambient soundscape), and the audio would in some cases end up mono.

Broadcast-box is on the simpler side, if self hosting. If not, there is a public free-to-use instance here: https://b.siobud.com/

Honestly, that means peer to peer, not centralised

Peer to peer vs a server does not have significant latency difference. There is one, but not one universal enough that’d make latency the reason to choose the former in most cases.

OBS will use large buffers (multiple seconds) that are then sent out to the server.

It doesn’t. Streaming from OBS over WHIP is able to get down to about 300ms of latency, and that’s when watching via a server, rather than peer to peer.

The main source of streaming latency (the buffer you mention) happens when using the older HLS standard.

WHIP or WebRTC HTTP Ingestion Protocol (and the other end for clients, WHEP) allows software like Broadcast-box to be just as fast as conferencing screenshares in peer to peer video calls. Because it is the same tech.

Matrix has MatrixRTC (or whatever they call it) but you will need the Element client and will need to activate RTC in the “labs”. Not sure if it’s in the stable build or the beta.

MatrixRTC voice, video and screenshare is in element, comment and cinny. It does not need to be enabled in labs. Its main problem at the moment is the lack of system audio when sharing the screen.

OBS with Broadcast-box allows you to achieve real-time video sharing with audio, with full control of the video stream audio and quality thorough OBS’s recording and encoder settings. And to watch, your friends need no accounts or anything, they just open the broadcast-box link in a browser.

No?

The fastest I got it down to was about 30 seconds of stream delay. It’s a limitation of HLS, which will never be truly fast.

Owncasts own guides state:

If you require real-time, video conferencing style latency you may want to look for a different solution that doesn’t use HLS video, as this scaling and distribution model will never get to sub-second levels.

Not even. You can share a stream link.

Owncast already mentioned, and while it’s good, it doesn’t achieve real-time streaming like discord does. It’s more of a twitch replacement for streamers with an actual audience thanks to it’s ActivityPub support (in that people on stuff like mastodon can “subscribe” to the server).

MatrixRTC is still new and while it’s already being used to provide voice channels in clients like element, cinny and commet, as of now none of them can stream gameplay with audio.

For this I’m currently using Broadcast-box. Self-hostable, but the dev also provides a public instance.

It uses WHIP to stream over WebRTC (OBS is compatible) to achieve less than half second latency. More than fast enough to feel like “real-time” if in a voice-chat with friends. And you can push the video quality past what any platform like youtube, twitch or discord will allow.

The first is to defend the status quo.

I want change. I thought I made that clear.

What I don’t agree with, is laws being pointless. Their ideal is to use violence to reduce and prevent violence.

Human society needs that. Done well they are a net good.

And you’re just doing that with ideas you misunderstand so badly i can’t even bring myself to correct you on.

“You’re so wrong I can’t even describe it”, and you’re saying I’m the one trying to be edgy?

Really convenient excuse to not actually engage.

Things are sometimes simple though. Violence indeed bad. Best avoided. Not a good thing.

Yes.

Yet, it can be used to do good.

And doing so is not only possible, but necessary.

Youve clearly lived a very sheltered life and violence to you is just an abstraction. Youve never experienced the world so its really easy to imagine its all as flat and consequence free as your abstractions.

Ok? Figuring someone out, even if you pull it off, doesn’t invalidate their logic.

And you’re picking and choosing among the things I’ve said. I’m not gonna repeat myself by pointing out the contradictions in these conclusions with what you should know about me.

I’m going to stop now. I’m pretty sure you’re a troll at this point. You’ve only made less sense, as you enigmatically refuse to elaborate in favor of attempts to discredit rather than dismantle.

So to start off with, youre using one example of game theory, the prisoners dilemma, as a stand in for right/wrong.

I’m not. People can also co-operate to do bad things. The principle still applies.

You either screw over others for individual benefit, or co-operate for collective benefit. That collective benefit can still be bad and come at the cost of your group defecting against another. Like a nation going to war.

Or a small group in an advantaged position co-operating to enforce laws against a far larger group.

Your oversimplification is stuff like “laws bad” or “violence bad”. Far more egregious imo.

At least I apply logic that can be adapted to describe multiple scenarios, instead of boiling things down to flat statements.

Poetic. Unfortunately wordsmithing does not replace logic.

Violence is to defect.

A minority will always choose to defect, and they or their ability to do so must be removed.

This creates an incentive for co-operators to co-operate, by defecting against defectors en-masse. These are laws (or their ideal, rather). Whether you write them down and enact ceremony around them is inconsequential.

To wish for a system where all-defectors are not dealt with the only way which is effective, to defect back instead of co-operate in vain, is naive.

That you think I need to be told that that is still violence, even more so.

You call me childish, yet you make statements that so grossly simplify reality, that real discussion with you may be impossible.

No, you’re right. Murder being illegal hasn’t saved a single life. In any country. Ever.

/S

Whatever “justice” system you’ve been witness to, must have you seriously confused if it has you thinking it is the only one that can exist.

Bad systems should be removed. But their existence does not mean good systems are not possible.

And you will never see the real picture until you ditch simplifications like “laws bad”.

Don’t confuse what is with what could be.

Instinctively? No.

Due to learned experience and principles of game theory? Yes.

Don’t you try to find out which people will defect and which will co-operate, and act accordingly, instead of just screwing over everyone around you all the time?

Most people will co-operate as much as possible, and only retaliate if and when they are abused, and only against the individual or group that broke the chain of co-operation. This maximizes benefit in a way that far outweighs the cost.

Stop putting words in my mouth.
