I would not deem that overly confident statement to be all that accurate.
Several important titles do not run on _any_ PS3 from the PS1 library. None of the original Tomb Raider discs or their variants work despite the first 4 being in the Top 20 best-selling games on that system. And games like Blaster Master Returns have graphical issues that make them difficult if not impossible to play.
You can either use community patches to fix your own discs (on a modded system only, of course) or buy the PSN versions as they're hacked to run better on Sony's emulators. But when it comes to actually emulating the original system, running the discs you already own - you might be disappointed...
The maker of the provocative "Linux sucks" series is a bit of a troll.
He's made videos on technical projects he doesn't understand (or care about) and just mocks them if they don't gel with him.
As far as I can tell he doesn't really care, or if he thinks he does - his actions aren't translating well.
How do I know? As a FOSS developer myself with a decade plus public history I also happen to know a few people running prominent FOSS projects.
He's burned bridges for no good reason. He doesn't care.
Just like IRC. Except 1 giant server, 1 owner logging everything. Don't ask how it sustains itself though. It still doesn't. People let their guard down in such lax environments and many even run their entire business comms on an unencrypted app as a result too. People should know better.
In a lot of ways, this is a major regression as far as security and redundancy is concerned.
There's also the good old saying: Don't build your castle in somebody else's Kingdom. Bot developers definitely learned that recently. I don't have a lot of pity for bot developers though as many are truly, in fact, scraping data and doing other undocumented things with it (Spy Pet wasn't and won't be the only one). All I'm going to say on the matter!
There's been several people in the archive community identifying and pointing them out, digging through large tape collections as well of syndications of it. David however got to go through the original masters recently
