Also, lets face facts: browsers consume so much memory right now that axing UI frameworks and libraries made in a lower level language might win some of it back

This is like being in a home with a termite infestation and deciding to replace the entire structural backbone of the building with the termites instead of just calling an exterminator.

You do realize the Star Trek future arose from the ashes of nuclear holocaust, right?

Strange New Worlds retconned the Eugenics Wars to be an extension of the second US Civil War, which began in the mid-late 2020s and basically escalated over time into WW3 by the 50s. I agree that we're probably in a better timeline than pre-WW3 Star Trek tho.

Good. Fuck intellectual property, I just want cheap RAM lmao. Hope they start exporting.

Damn, I guess every so often someone independently invents Mormonism lmao

"Jews for Hitler" ass organization

The flaw in your understanding is the assumption Nintendo is acting in good faith. They would just use a different excuse to go after such an emulator.

The US constitution was written to protect slavers and oligarchs from the masses, not to actually provide democracy. Less than 7% of the population was even legally allowed to vote at our founding, and without the senate and electoral college, the US might actually be a real, functional modern state instead of publicly funded security force for corporations, oligarchs, and whoever has blackmail material on the pedophile in chief. We need to rewrite the whole thing from scratch after the current regime is deposed to make sure nothing remotely like what's happening now can ever happen again.

Fascist enablers and collaborators you mean.

So does all of the union busting and the hostile work environment/harassment scandals. Wouldn't be the first time.

I singled out the senate because it gives a state full of uninhabited desert and meth labs the same representation as California, a state larger than most countries. This is wildly anti-democratic and frankly stupid. I don't care whether there are two houses to the legislature, but if an upper house needs to exist for whatever reason, obviously it should proportion representation directly to population.

I think the Absolute State of the GOP disproves this. They have their own agendas and are some of the stupidest people alive, because they have cultivated a voter base that will never be satisfied with anyone who isn't at least as illiterate, racist, anti-intellectual, and deluded as they are. Conservative Evangelicalism is a Problem.

If you think that layout is fucked up...

They could basically just draw unshaded geometric shapes back then lmao

This is one of the most deliberately bad faith readings of someone else's point I've ever seen.

What the actual fuck is this take. Corporations polluting the artistic landscape by normalizing covert advertisements is "doing something for the arts", now? Next you'll tell me that film executives paying for generic slop film #6338929394 to be made counts as an artistic endowment 😭

They issued a cease and desist when it was briefly listed on Steam iirc (or otherwise did something to get it removed)

And in the case of AI models it's straight up deranged to act like China is "stealing" from the US because US corporations trained those models on stolen data to begin with

For hardware over 20 years old? I don't think the manufacturers planned on it lasting this long lmao
