Before I start in this conversation, I want you all to know that I'm not
defending any of the sides.
It sounds strange, but f.lux is absent in the Free Software Directory, both
as a normal entry and as a review entry.
There are two possibilities for this: Either no reviewer of the Free Software
Directory received it or reviewed it; or it was denied and considered as a
non-free software.
I don't know if a software needs to be firstly evaluated and put in the Free
Software Directory in order to be accepted as a free software. But I'm pretty
sure that it would be nice to have a confirmation there.
As for the emulators and stuff... Well, I suggest you to avoid it whenever
possible as it tends to create long discussions, the best practice is to let
the user find about such emulators by their own means (package managers like
Synaptic were created to be friendly and also to serve this purpose, right?
:D).
Another suggestion is to recommend the readers to have the desired console in
question. My parents bought a jailbroken Sony PlayStation 2, we know that the
motherboard inside it has a non-free firmware, but at least it's not running
in our personal computer. I was planning to be able to play Sony PlayStation
games in this console, but a piece of it hasn't been soldered correctly, so
I've decided to run an emulator, but I gave up after discovering that it
wouldn't run the classics from my childhood.
Due to the fact that I'm not the owner of the console, and the owners (my
parents) don't want to ask for the service of a technician to solder the
pieces, I must stay with the Sony PlayStation 2 games. I found some
interesting games, but I won't tell their names here since they're obviously
non-free software.
Best regards, ADFENO.
Have a nice day.
