Not only that, but it comes off as some weird replacement kid for their dead son. The Pitch Meeting is fun

I haven't tried these so I cannot comment on their quality. But this has a list. Of particular note is RetroArch, OpenEMU, and Gens as three FOSS options.

Edit: Also, alternativeto.net is usually a decent source for finding alternatives for specific software. Here's the list for Kega Fusion alternatives. This has some more options than the other link I provided.

The tooltip for fedipact says: "Agreed to block all communications (their blocklist is private)"

To me that says, they've agreed but it's not confirmed that they've gone through with it because the blocklist is private. Blocked on the other hand says "All communications are blocked"

DS9 gets way better in the last few seasons, IMO. Worth sticking with it.

When I set up mine, I created a separate /data mount point and drive for anything that I expect to keep between distros. The problem with keeping the home directory is that means all your personalized config files which may or may not apply to a new distro you switch to. I keep configs I want to keep in a git repo (like my i3 configs and scripts that I absolutely wouldn't want to redo from scratch), data I want to keep in /data, and everything else can pretty much be wiped for a new distro on a whim without too much hassle.

Yeah, that's one of the geographical differences I was alluding to. In Canada it can mean either depending on context.

As an English speaker I would naturally interpret "You are worth dick" and "you are not worth dick" in the same way.

I took German classes in high school and have been struggling ever since not to automatically capitalize nouns when I write in English. It's been like 25 years.

This is English, but Canada specific as far as I know.

"Fucking the dog" - means to slack off, particularly at work.

"I fucked the dog all day at work today" basically means I got nothing done.

It is distinct from "screw the pooch" which means to fuck something up badly.

That's generally true, but there are some exceptions. For instance. "I'm pissed" can either mean "I'm drunk" or "I'm angry" depending on where you are and the context.

A wave rarely comes alone

An equivalent idiom in English for this one might be "When it rains, it pours"

Only if the rest of the sentence matches the tense to make that clear.

I went to a movie this Saturday

This one is yesterday. But I personally would just say "I went to a movie Saturday" and drop the "this" entirely in that case.

I'm going to a movie this Saturday

This one refers to the upcoming Saturday.
