netdoll··on Dusting off Dreamcast Linux
The biggest problem with it was simply that it primarily ended up in the hands of Western consumers and dev houses during the height of the FMV craze, the PC Engine CD did much better comparatively speaking because most of the things on it were actual games and it had (within Japan) wide support from nearly all major software development houses.
netdoll··on The Collapse of U.S. Healthcare – The Perspective of a Primary Care Physician
I've heard it often remarked in my circles (wryly and bitterly) that "bankruptcy and gofundme are the American health care plans of choice". So yes, it would seem that for a lot of stuff the plan is just to let it go to collections and then default for as long as you can get away with it.

(n.b. I have some relatively significant physical health issues, so if I can't afford medical tourism and/or get on an absurdly good plan before I'm 26, I may end up being forced into a strategy like this)

netdoll··on X11 Conservancy Project
DWM (all caps) is also the name of the Windows display server post-XP.
netdoll··on Sega is keeping mini consoles alive
Both Mega Drive Minis are handled by M2, so I would expect the emulation to be excellent based off of that (M2 has something of a reputation in gaming circles for producing extremely accurate emulation/ports with lots of quality of life features that their competitors sometimes lack)
netdoll··on OpenBSD 7.2
Because they're deciding to try improving their driver API compatibility layer to import the Intel drivers directly from Linux instead of reverse engineering like OpenBSD is. Time will tell which approach is better in the long run.
