IMHO, old internet started to slowly die with the introduction of MySpace, Digg, and even 4chan, I call the period of 2006 to 2010 the slow decline era, then 2010 to 2016 the rapid decline era. 2016 to 2022 is the “classic centralized internet era”, and now we have the era of the “new centralized internet”, characterized by the peddling of far-right ideologies of these centralized platforms, alongside with the potential rebirth of the old, decentralized internet.

He will flip-flop the moment SKG is saving a “woke” game.

If he doesn’t like today’s games, then he can just ask ChatGPT to make it the old way. Or Grok for that MechaHitler edge.

Reality: Musk added “anti-woke” filters.

Except Apple has better marketing, and is primarily marketed for those who’re excited for every tech “innovation”.

To all the “not true Christian” chanters: Religion is unfortunately way too broad to interpret in many ways, especially christianity, which is filled with many contradictory views. One can just selectively refer to different translations and/or different chapters on the same issue. Jesus was famous for not forgiving child abusers, but the Old Testament has a chapter about “Menstrual Marriage” (allowing adolescent child marriage).

Extreme disdain for democracy. Some psychopaths want to bring us back before the age of enlightement, while using enlightement or (especially in case of China) post-enlightement ideas to do so, because we citizens are all like badly behaving 12 year olds, who need 24 hour supervision on every day on the week, every month of the year, or we might “go insane” from doing something a psychopathic madman does not want us.

Predictions: It will be the biggest failure of the franchise, just before a big game industry crash, and will be remembered as “the E.T. of the mid-2020’s”. Elon Musk and some other MAGA oligarchs will do their best to consolidate whatever remains of the industry into a few and far-right hands.

The 1gb of KDE dependencies are one time only, but there’s also the option of just using OpenGL + bare x11 or Wayland for GUI. If my game engine could pull it off, if IMGUI apps could pull it off, then everyone could pull it off, we just need a UI framework not ddependent on either GTK or qt.

A lot of fancy early RGB mouse came with a companion app that needed 10MB at most, and that was ridiculed.

Most of the reason why the Logitech driver is so gargantuan is a separate Chromium browser instance, because someone thought that apps should be all websites first, which lead to most GUI libraries being developed for javascript and most devs being taught to be web developers.

Fuck electron, fuck “web first” apps, fuck the “all application in the future will be websites” mentality.

It was supposed to be a reference to a meme making fun of “us vs. them” mentalities. I know enough about the think of the children argument.

For the thousandth time: Translation is not a 1:1 formula, that can be easily automated by a machine.

Net neutrality is why your online jokes were censored under Biden

– John McRacist, Republican congressman, former CFO of Evil Inc., former lawyer of Vile Ltd., member of Christofascism Society and Roman Salutes to Jesus

Their uncivilized censorship regime vs. our civilized online child protection and anti-terror laws.

Also don’t forget all the suicides happening with hard to obtain poisons and shooting oneself in the back of the head three times.

I wonder what all the “pro-porn”, “pro-free speech”, gamergate republican pundits on the internet have to say about this…

Insertables go into your butt.
