  • I use Ventoy regularly but im too lazy to setup Grub2 on a USB and load up isos.

    Not sure who these Ventoy fanbois or bros are.

    Yup Ventoy does hide binary blobs and has some dodgy devs and code. Use at own risk.

    Also I dont have any sensitive stuff. So mostly Ventoy is used to install playground server isos and stuff. Not much use for it otherwise.






  • they made a japanese game that insulted Japan and japanese people and japanese culture and wasn’t even close to historical accuracy blending too many disjointed japanese eras including marketing Nuclear-bombing of Nagasaki …

    :smh: Ubisoft is a “good” gamestudio from top-to-bottom.

    Im in favour of execution. The entire Ubisoft should be executed. i.e. fired from their jobs and company closed so that other game studios get the money to make better games than Ubisoft.


  • In xenophobic Japan, a foreigner especially an African is allowed to massacre Japanese people with zero consequences. The same problem will exist if a westerner enters Japan and massacres Japanese citizenry with zero consequence.

    It was a very anti-Japanese ( replace Japanese with Jewish or any other ethnic or cultural or minority group ) game centered in Japan. ( Butsu buddha statue is expressly forbidden in Japan from pictorial / digital / non-real-life representations but Ubisoft decided to make a digital 3d model and place it in AC:S) with blatant disrespect and cultural-dissonance.

    If it was Yagyu Juubei and Naoe or some similar Japanese main-characters there would be almost no backlash.

    It is the same/similar problem that Nokia/Maemo and Sailfish/merOS have all had.

    Some things are binary-blobs + NDAs and many things are still locked, the OSS community can only do so much before they hit the commercial roadblocks.

    We need a complete CoreBoot + OSS silicon-chips + OSS firmware + all-community / all-commercial dual production lines.

    The open-source-based company should be able to sell both the commercial locked-version and the oss-all-unlocked-version with the ability to switch infinitely between the two models.

    But the world of electronics rarely will ever work or reach that level of interoperability , repairability or recycling this way. Not for a long time maybe in some distant future.
