All of them in some contexts? Say, buffets in cruise ships or similar destinations might offer drinks at no additional charge (and no drink-free option), so for buffet-goers the beer is free.

If someone invites you to a party and they shoulder the entire cost themselves, you can think of it in terms of "it's a trade where beer is exchanged for your continued friendship", or even "it's a trade where where beer is exchanged, not for friendship because the host hates you, but for the service of coming to the party so the host doesn't have to answer embarrassing questions about why he didn't invite anon". If you go that route, at least for all scenarios involving the real world with entropy and shit (I'm sure you could conjure a thought experiment where these don't apply), you can come up with a convoluted explanation why the beer wasn't totally free after all.
For all practical purposes worth communicating, the beer is free if you don't pay extra. If you're on that cruise and ask a waiter if the beer is free, he'll say yes. So it's free beer.
every time i boot something in retroarch i dont know how to remap my controls, and sometimes it doesn't even recognize my controller, then i press a button by mistake on the keyboard and my sound goes mute or it adds some bullshit filter that i have to pause and manually disable it because pressing the button again doesnt turn it off, the settings bloat make it the worst emulator experience i've ever had
>Free means free as in freedom, not free as in free beer
I'm so sick of this analogy, It's unreal.
>>Free means free as in freedom, not free as in free beer >I'm so sick of this analogy, It's unreal.
It really is the perfect encapsulation of Linux autism: trying to explain some esoteric distinction that only autists give a frick about in the first place, but then also explaining it in a way that only makes sense to autists and is completely nonsensical on its face to literally everybody else. The fact that they've all been repeating this shitty analogy for over 20 years without realizing that it makes zero sense whatsoever to normal people is unironically a symptom of why the Linux desktop never stood a chance.
I say all this as a Linux autist myself btw.
No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation.
Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ.
One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you?
(An operating system) != (a distribution). Linux is an operating system. By my definition, an operating system is that software which provides and limits access to hardware resources on a computer. That definition applies whereever you see Linux in use. However, Linux is usually distributed with a collection of utilities and applications to make it easily configurable as a desktop system, a server, a development box, or a graphics workstation, or whatever the user needs. In such a configuration, we have a Linux (based) distribution. Therein lies your strongest argument for the unwieldy title 'GNU/Linux' (when said bundled software is largely from the FSF). Go bug the distribution makers on that one. Take your beef to Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware. At least there you have an argument. Linux alone is an operating system that can be used in various applications without any GNU software whatsoever. Embedded applications come to mind as an obvious example.
Yeah, but the thing is licensed under GPL. I'm pretty sure adding license checks is illegal.
Anyways, you can just patch the license check out and compile it out or use parallel-launcher (more modern and not shit)
After a while it doesn't let you click until you wait like 30 seconds, it fricking sucks
But there's a good workaround where you just open P64 twice, the popup doesn't appear on the 2nd time.
You mean the page you don't even have to click on in the blob of text you literally don't ever have to read again? I get complaining about shit, but this is just pathetic
It's 2023 and not only are you guys still using PJ64, you still don't know how to bypass this shit with ease and feel the need to b***h about it. Incredible.
You can just disable it in a config file or download a fork without the begging screen at all.
It's open source, do whatever you want, but don't complain when you're too moronic to do it.
Free open-source software (FOSS) can cost money, in fact it's Redhat's entire model and they make millions.
Free means free as in freedom, not free as in free beer (although 99% of the time it is)
With that said, using Project64 in 2023 is like using Zsnes, it's ancient.
Get yourself Retroarch and the mupen64plus-nx core, and enable the Angrylion software renderer, integer scaling, and a CRT shader.
>Free means free as in freedom, not free as in free beer

>I'm sick of words meaning what they are meant to mean
Cry about it homosexual
This. Beer is not free for frick sake.
Free beer is though
In which country beer is free?
You can drink piss for free in every country.

SO LONG DENTAL PLAN
>Nintendo Online's retro games are free
Holy lol

That looks like shit.
Just like real CRT.

Why the frick are you using PJ64 in 2023
Just click fricking continue.
After a while it doesn't let you click until you wait like 30 seconds, it fricking sucks
But there's a good workaround where you just open P64 twice, the popup doesn't appear on the 2nd time.
WHO CARES? You have to wait 30 seconds or whatever? That's been in the program for a long time.
Also advertising what? It's a free download. You can play fricking Zelda and Banjo for free. Quit complaining!
it's been shitting up the software for a long time yes, it's still shitting it up now, shocker.
>Also advertising what?
Their support page, moron.
You mean the page you don't even have to click on in the blob of text you literally don't ever have to read again? I get complaining about shit, but this is just pathetic
>omg EVIL PPL are asking for donations, that could have gone into Nintendo's fat greasy pockets
Just press "Continue" you mouth breathing moron
it takes 30 seconds before you can click continue, moron. don't forget to breathe
>I JUST CCCCCAAAAAANNNNNNTTTTTT WAIT 30 SECONDS TO USE MY ***FREE*** SOFTWARE
meds buddy
30 seconds? Oh no! that's enough time to get up and get a glass of water!
you can't wait 30 fricking seconds? god. did you grow up on a tablet or something?
I haven't used that shit for like 15 years
It's 2023 and not only are you guys still using PJ64, you still don't know how to bypass this shit with ease and feel the need to b***h about it. Incredible.
>open source
Then patch the nag out yourself.
I've been using PJ64 for like 10+ years and I've literally never seen that popup.
This kind of shit is what gets fan projects shut down.
They're basically admitting to making money of it.
emulation is legal, paid or not
cope, moron
With the MiSTer core already having 85%, I'm finally glad to be out of N64 software emulator plug-in hell.
>click exe twice
nothing personell kid
>shittiest emulator, hasn't improved in a decade
>the only one that makes you wait out a donation message
You can just disable it in a config file or download a fork without the begging screen at all.
It's open source, do whatever you want, but don't complain when you're too moronic to do it.
