For the most part I only bought imports on systems without region locking or ones where it was trivial to bypass the lock.

One of the main reasons I hacked my 3DS was to make it region free (and custom themes and game mods). That having been said, I have exactly one import game for the system (it’s Picross 3D: Round 2 which received a physical release in Europe, but not North America).

My Dreamcast is a MIL-CD compatible model, so it’s possible to get past the region locking with a burned CD-R. I don’t have that many games for the system, but most of the ones I have are imports.

This article says that the owner claims that his wife’s grandfather was coincidentally from the same town as Hitler.

Additionally, most Switch pirate shops charge money for access.

The numbers are are probably scene numbers. Most of the ROMs floating around the internet come from various scene groups. Many older groups would number their ROM dumps (I assume in the order that they released them). Additionally, different groups often had different numbering systems. From what I understand it’s a practice that’s mostly fallen into disuse since it doesn’t really help.

The pre-installed stuff is also often configured in a way they leaves it with massive security holes.

It’s literally this one techbro’s personal vibe coded Arch setup. Also, the guy is an all around awful person.

I use KDE. I like that it doesn’t fight my choices and actively supports customization. GNOME is too opinionated for me. They have a specific vision on what the desktop should be and that vision just doesn’t jive with me.
