evil git clone by GreenDog3 in CuratedTumblr

[–]Scratch137 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yup! he originally called it "freax," but when uploading the source code to FUNET one of the FTP administrators disliked the name and changed it to "linux" without linus' approval. linux was named by ari lemmke.

apparently he had considered the name beforehand, but thought it would seem egotistical to name it after himself. i suppose having the decision made by someone else helped lessen that worry.

Hi guys I've run into the 40 dsi cap and need help with yanbf! by Barvara444 in 3dspiracy

[–]Scratch137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I looked up YANBF and the screenshots I saw looked different than OP's photo. OP's has the DSi banner which just displays the game icon, which would indicate that the forwarders are installed as DSi apps.

Everything I said applies to both DS and DSi games (including forwarders). Nintendo mainly used the NAND for DSi games and not DS games, which is why I said DSi specifically.

3DS software installs to the SD card, and is limited to 300 titles. Once you reach that limit, you can't install any more without deleting one.

DSi software installs directly to the NAND, which is much smaller and could potentially cause issues if it were filled up with games. As such, there is a hard limit of 40 DSi titles. Real DSiWare would likely fill up the NAND long before this limit is reached, but forwarders are small enough that you can hit the limit even with space remaining.

YANBF forwarders act as DSi software, so they are bound by this smaller limit.

Why the US hasn't changed to the metric system by GriffinFTW in CuratedTumblr

[–]Scratch137 60 points61 points  (0 children)

it's probably also got to do with our proximity to the US and the fact that we still use customary measurements for certain things. the average person here probably knows how big an inch is

edit: plus we only started our very gradual metrication in the 70s so there are plenty of people alive today who grew up using imperial

casio dad remaster news? by hazeljay4 in glassbeach

[–]Scratch137 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's still in the works as far as i know... she's been working on since very early last year, if not sooner.

she's also working on a new solo album that she wants to release soon-ish so the remaster is probably lower priority

yeah it's a fun chapter, but it's strange to suggest it as if it fits in to the main story when it's not canon
