I prefer “brochacho”.

Microsoft already removed all support for 16 bit apps on all 64 bit versions of their OSs. You can replace the missing NTVDM with WineVDM, which is essentially just WINE for 16 bit apps, and likely has higher compatibility than NTVDM anyway.

That doesn’t help with the incompatibilities of some Win9x and XP era apps, though.

I don’t think SC-Controller is making direct kernel syscalls or anything like that. It’s probably just something as simple as the dev doesn’t use Windows and doesn’t feel like supporting it, which I can understand.

Also the reason I even mentioned Mesa is because there is a working Mesa port to Windows already that does software rendering and an experimental RADV port.

SC Controller (the modernized fork) doesn’t support anything other than Linux. On Windows, I have to run a super outdated version from 2020 that is missing support for newer controllers such as the DualSense.

AMDGPU Mesa drivers are just better than the proprietary AMD drivers. There is experimental support for RADV in Windows, but nothing like the support that is on Linux.

This is going to sound weird, but WINE sometimes has better support for legacy games/software than modern Windows does, and WINE is not available on Windows outside of something like WSL.

I would also say KDE apps like Dolphin, Konsole, and Kate, but those have Windows builds.

We need the corporate death penalty.

Or at least take 100% of their revenue (not profit) until they comply.

That sounds really floppy.

I can in cases where you already bought the product. Fanboys are a thing for a reason.

What is this “soap water” you speak of? Is it a new magick spell?

I think we should ask Chuck Schumer. He’s really good at getting things done.

Chrono Trigger would like a word.

We need better than that. We need a pinky promise.

End to end encrypted doesn’t mean they don’t potentially store a copy of the keys somewhere. With proprietary software, you never know what it’s actually doing since you can’t verify the code does what it says on the tin.

Is Testicles an ancient Greek god?

Pronounced the same as tamales.

As Louis Rossmann likes to say, this is a rapist mentality.

Ask for forgiveness instead of permission.

It’s almost like women are people who want the same things everyone wants or something.
