  They really don’t. A emulator is doing all of the hardware in software. A translator is just converting instructions.

    By that definition, qemu-[architecture] is a translator. qemu-system-[architecture] is an emulator.
    
    And it’s still a worse translator than Rosetta. Because Rosetta cheats.

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

2. Be civil

Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
Leave remarks of “peasantry” to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
Bigotry will not be tolerated.
These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.

3. Post Linux-related content

Including Unix and BSD.
Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.

4. No recent reposts

Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don’t understand or can’t verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community – even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don’t fork-bomb your computer.
