@digdeeper Well, good luck living without money, living independently, AND having good internet at the same time.
Literally impossible.

Unless you live with your parents (who can only keep you at home thanks to capitalism), or live on your own ranch growing your own food with no access to technology at all, life without capital is just a fiction.

Opussy's search engine still sucks.
This is what I'm getting when searching for videos about Discucked...

I mean, I prefer anime porn over fake libertarians shilling for Discucked, but it shouldn't show that if I'm not looking for it.

So there used to be a BSD variant that aimed to be Arch Linux, but with the FreeBSD kernel instead of the Linux kernel.
Didn't even knew.

@Dan_Ramos Can't wait for the MSM to make their own spin. "Pfizer Vaccine Impairs Sperm Count And Why That's A Good Thing".

@ryo I'm pretty sure Linux going proprietary will have a lot of backlash. They will just fork the last FOSS version of the kernel. And there will be more efforts to create third-party drivers.

>The inherent lack of space? Or something else?

Cartridge space, limited texture cache, the system being a nightmare to program for, Nintendo reserving certain microcode and not letting third-parties use it.

@Calvin @djsumdog @coolboymew
>The N64 is a very unique console and that goes both ways.
Sure. I'll take Rare's and Factor 5's word and say that their games took advantage of the cartridge format (using cart space like additional RAM), but you can only take advantage of the format if you are good at optimizing. However, most N64 games feel like they had wasted potential just because of the cartridge problem among other things.

@Tadano @coolboymew @djsumdog @Calvin Saturn was also a nightmare to program for but people were willing to make 2D games for the system.

@ryo People can always create new distros though.

@allison I didn't know how to tie my shoes until middle school.

@cee Are you talking about the game engine or the desktop environment?

@Calvin @djsumdog @coolboymew N64 is an overrated and terrible console (the games are good in spite of it's flaws). In fact, EB64 probably would have been finished if the system wasn't a nightmare to program for.

@Tadano @PhenomX6
>Regardless, C# and its consequences have been a disaster for the game developer race

Thanks for reminding me.

PC-98 game: runs on a NEC V30 (8086 on drugs) or 386, written in asm or with an in house engine, looks visually pleasing.
Tribute to said game: Unity, makes your fans go to 100%, kills your laptop battery, has framerate issues somehow.

The internet wouldn't be such a bad place if you could go anywhere without worrying about some schizophrenic trying to ruin your current job prospects and life based on something you said 5 years ago.

Case in point, that news story I saw a while back about some evil woman who saved the clip of someone saying the meanie word only to spread it when she went to college. Absolutely psychotic, and these people are real.

It's the problem with solely focusing on "big tech solely being bad". Look at Fediblock, these people will run to any website you can name to try to shit it up with this behavior.

Pokemon Go was cyberpunk as shit from the idiots doing stupid things while playing it to the cop car being hit as a driver played it to the Holocaust Museum incident to people being mugged on stream playing it to launching the IRL streaming genre.

But who knew that the purpose behind it was a glowing psyop?
