@bot@Goalkeeper what are you talking about? do you even know how the foveon sensor works? or how that camera can capture all those colors in the second pic?
It's a very unique DSLR/Mirrorless camera that goes for $$$ used because certain people love them. I have a SD15 because it was cheap but the resolution sucks.
@kirby if you want to understand why I am so broken from the internet imagine spending your years around these types in their early stages, being thrown under the bus because they don't like you anymore, and ending up here and then being asked "dude why do you seem so crazy about them"
@coolboymew@rain@sun also why pc98 translations didn't take off until the last 3-4 years: the debugging situation sucked. Or it's why the recent FM Towns emulator exists, the guy writing it was trying to write a DOS driver to redirect the CD drive to the SCSI port and needed a debugger.
@sun@rain@coolboymew I mean I know how petty some companies are. I know how Delphi has a phone home to make sure you're not breaking the license terms, and I know that FL Studio's dev made a YouTuber take down shitposting videos because part of the instruction was piracy tutorials and while it was part of the joke, he also did pirate it for the videos and it showed in the title bar or something. It's also a meme that IIRC you can't open IDA Pro in itself.
Never underestimate the pettiness of corporations in that sphere.
There are a few things IDA Pro has that Ghidra lacks, most notably support for some obscure CPUs in 2024 like Alpha, IA64, i860, the Moto 56k DSP, and more.
@sun@rain@coolboymew you can also use ghidra professionally legally instead of having to pirate it, which put IDA in the realm of skids who didn't give a shit and rich kids. A lot of people aren't going to slap on their resume they pirated IDA pro.
Also IDA free is x86/64 only, which kinda sucks if you're an autist trying to break open a video game for an ARM/MIPS/PPC/68k platform, or reverse engineer a car MCU using a SuperH CPU, etc.
@coolboymew@rain@sun also the reason I mention Ghidra is unlike IDA pro, there's a huge ecosystem of random blokes writing plugins to say load a n64 ROM in.
The reason you're seeing decomp projects and REing intensify in the past 4-5 years alone is no accident, it's because Ghidra exists. Ghidra unlike IDA pro is free, taught everywhere in schools, can import an assload of CPU architectures, and despite it's learning curve is free. Everyone from malware devs to console hackers is using the fuck out of it when back in the day IDA (which you had to pay $$$ for or torrent) was the tool of choice.
@kirby hacktivists are the low IQ wannabe gang members of cybercriminals.
They're basically the online version of the kids who steal kias to feel an adrenaline rush and then cry when they're caught except they're scrawny white male nerds who aren't gonna get let back out on the street unlike the kia boyz.
@sun@djsumdog@harblinger ai scraping is a cancer ngl and I'm sure it's why every big tech company started forcing logins, if not being a convenient excuse.
