Two new versions of the SSX 2012 Android port have been found!

Found these in a set of development files. I am not sure whether they are final builds or test/debug builds given this origin, but unlike the build that was found before, they do have EA certificates. They're both from late 2013, v0.0.7833 and v0.0.7965, while the previously found version is v0.0.8430 from early 2014.

The previously found version for anyone interested, thanks u/That-Coaster-Thoosie: https://archive.org/details/ssx-v0_0_8430_202504

Alternatives to Dolphin File Manager that don't hang the entire program when listing files in remote mounts (s3fs-fuse) or just stop two files in?

It is very frustrating. It either causes the entire program to freeze up, or it just stops indexing two files in and refuses to continue even when refreshing unless you copy a file with the same file name as a file that exists in that directory but isn't showing up. I do not know why it's like this, but I've been told it has something to do with kio's synchronous file indexing being terrible with remote drives mounted to the system. This, as I've just found out, means Krusader suffers from the same problem.

What are the main differences between new Freenet and Hyphanet?

I'm trying to figure out which one I should try using, but it's a bit hard to tell what the practical differences for an end user like myself are, aside from new Freenet's approach to privacy being different between "applications" or something.

12 localization betas of Zoids Legacy and an unreleased revision of Zoids II have been found by the Video Game History Foundation

A group of 12 localization betas of Zoids Legacy were found by the Video Game History Foundation as well as an unreleased revision 1 build of Zoids Saga II (basically a bug fix revision that never got released). I figured y'all would be interested in them. Can't find any documents in their archives about the game, unfortunately.

Where can I learn about the history of language politics and policy in the United States at the federal level and/or by state and territory?

American language policy is weird in that we sort of try to pretend we don't have language policy (or at least we did until our chucklenut-in-chief decided to try to pass an EO declaring English as the country's de jure official language rather than just de facto which has a whole host of problems, but I don't feel like digging into this mess seeing as it's probably performative more than anything), but given just how many languages there are or were in the US and it's territories, there has to have been a long history of language policy and politics here. There's the many Indigenous languages of the country, which I am aware were subject to forcible assimilatory policies such as residential schools, but there's also diaspora/immigrant languages such as Spanish, French, various varieties of German, Armenian, Mandarin, Cantonese, etc, as well as various Creole languages such as Gullah and Afro-Seminole. African-American English dialects also tend to be a subject of politics at times. Is there anywhere with a broad overview of language politics and policy in the United States at the federal and state/territorial level? Anything by state or territory?
