Did they let them or did they just fail to give a gently caress? I'd just always presumed that infringing emulators (which is definitely not "all emulators") existed only because rightsholders didn't want to go to the trouble of trying to squash them. Like, all PS2 emulators need proprietary ROMs and Sony would prefer you didn't share them, but they aren't hard to get because suing a guy for bundling them with epsxe isn't worth SCEA's time. FBA came out around the same time people with actual b-boards were losing access to content they owned, because the b-board's very proprietary encryption keys were stored in battery-powered RAM, those batteries were going dead and Capcom's answer was "sucks to not be the original purchaser". People with the means to learn these keys and decrypt their own boards reasoned that they had some moral right to do that, even if the legal right didn't actually exist, and Capcom's apparent apathy to the whole situation just meant the people doing that work didn't feel any great need to hide it. Once the means to decrypt the ROMs existed, the decrypted ROMs went up on usenet about 9 seconds later, enter some guy named Dave who just wanted to play After Burner, and a really attractive catalogue of previously-unobtainable games was suddenly dropped into the laps of a bunch of really happy pc-havers

my bitter bi rival posted:https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0057753 It seems like this is probably more about redshirting it looks like? I guess my assumption is that astrology like any other system of belief is fundamentally an attempt to apply the pattern finding (which primates invested so much caloric energy into gitting gud at) to things which are unknowable to the science of the day. Maybe there are dietary or other environmental stressors on development (and that might be prenatal or post natal, really) that were seasonally variable and maybe that affected behavior at the margins enough to embed these findings into folkways? The position of the stars are, obviously, incidental (and there was probably at least some understanding of this at the time as well, I mean: “eat more bread, have bigger babby/drink more beer, have dumber babby” isn’t exactly a massive observational leap?). The stars were just the signaling mechanism, the behavioral traits common to people born (and therefore developed) at certain points in the year are the actual information being transmitted? Like, I wonder if an “August baby” is ascribed different behavioral traits in different astrologies in different parts of the world, and how would those traits line up with the caloric cycle in that region at that time?  E: and moreover the effects are probably marginal and obviously only hold true for the social and environmental stressors of the culture they arise in?

speaking of the sky looking different, there are a bunch of historical supernovas that would have been cool as heck to see. in the year 1006, there was a supernova so bright that it was visible during the day (bright enough to cast shadows), and substantially lit up the sky at night would have been neat to see
