It’s sarcasm.

Anime is a treat. Given that the economy sucks and it’s not that hard to download a treat (anime) for free, isn’t it obvious that ordinary people would get their treats for free?

Doubly so because copying data doesn’t destroy the original. “Piracy” in the sense of media piracy is copying, not theft.

I use it as a docker container. Should be the same for every Linux distro once you have docker installed

Notably produced by the Pirate Bay guys

If you could share the translated subs to opensubtitles.com, that would be a great boon

Yeah, it’s an all-time classic no doubt

Fair enough. Personally I put all my media on my Jellyfin server, so kind of a similar situation here.

Gundam 0083 has even better tunes. The music and animation of that one slap so hard you almost don’t notice the garbage plot lmao

Yeah, mpv is better on Linux. VLC is still my preference for DVDs on the computer though. Super easy.

While I appreciate the reference, most kids probably don’t know about the whole Metallica Napster thing.

It’s not true currently. Firefox and Chrome trade blows on which is more performance and which uses more/less RAM these days. It varies, but they’re quite close.

FYI late 80s is a Millenial. Xennial is like 79-80. Millenials go from 81-96

Adventurous young person, ready to be sent on a quest, is where you got filed in my head.

We did have some DOS games on CD during the Windows 95/98 era, though. Lemmings always ran better if you dropped down to DOS and ran it from there instead of trying to run it through Windows, for instance.

Generally the app is better. Compatible with more container formats, audio formats (surround sound, Dolby digital, etc), and has hardware supported decoding for h265 video in addition to h264.

At least in the case of a Jellyfin server, you can download media locally when you know you’ll be without internet

I use Bazarr to find subtitles. You can set it to only find Forced or to find the regular track for your language of choice and Forced, and it’s trivial to set it to include the file itself in the search for subtitles so it’ll only download subtitles for videos that are missing the subtitles.

It’s also great because it can automatically sync the downloaded subtitles to the actual video’s audio, or the existing subtitle track if one exists (like if you just have the full subtitle track and want to sync the Forced track)

Also 6x7 + 2x5

The architecture was originally developed for desktop PCs, but they discovered it was incredibly efficient at the time (late 80s, early 90s), so Apple partnered with ARM to develop it for the Newton.

The first commercial device with an ARM chip that I remember fondly was a Gameboy Advance.

It’s more like a built-in hardware emulation mode than anything else. Modern ARM chips use out of order execution as the default, whereas x86 uses ordered execution as the default. M-series and Snapdragon X chips have a little flag that can be passed to tell the hardware to run in in-order mode instead of out-of-order mode.

Depends on how it’s implemented. If they have a version of Proton that translates all x86 windows syscalls to ARM Linux, some operations could be extremely efficient.

There’s definitely got to be more overhead overall, though. Especially for devices with memory page sizes other than 4K, like the M-series Apple chips do (they use 16K as their page size), likely a VM will need to be sandwiched in there to ensure memory alignment. It’ll more fully be emulation and not just translation.
