It's funny to me that Square considered naming Final Fantasy "Fighting Fantasy," because even though they ultimately didn't due to a tabletop game already having the name...

...TWO YEARS LATER...

...Data East did the deed with an arcade game, and they were absolutely fucking shameless about it.

> When people lived on farms, they had a lot of kids because it was essentially free labour. When we moved to the cities, though, people stopped having kids -- they became more of a luxury.

#Microsoft has been trying this for the past three decades. UEFI didn't manage to lock alternative operating systems out of the hardware originally designed for Windows like they intended, so they need to come up with something new. That's the whole purpose of Microsoft #Pluton.

All the talk about increased security is just marketing bullshit intended to gaslight users. It's quite uncommon for malware nowadays to overwrite the MBR, and hypervisor-like isolation of user-space code can also be achieved in the OS layer without locking up the hardware. The simple truth is that Microsoft wants its monopoly back and it wants to do it by kicking any potential competitors out of hardware designed for Windows, whatever it takes.

Microsoft deserves to burn in a ball of fire and leave no traces behind. I'm sick of their continuous arrogant attempts of establishing an absolute monopoly out of market share weight, not out of merit. Weren't they supposed to focus on that stinky pile of crap that is Azure, and finally leave non-cloud users in peace?

This is yet one more argument in support of open hardware, and in support of hardware manufacturers that don't ship solutions with Windows pre-installed.

Some neat goings-on in the ROMhacking scene recently - keeping an eye open for a big thing dropping on the 30th.

MY GAMEBOY EMULATOR WAITS WITH BAITED BREATH.

We've reached a new low. At least, it's finally possible to color Caucasian skin in coloring books.

Please, share and debate
(I tried writing the poll neutral, even though I think half of the list is delusional)

Do you believe there is a possibility of left and right to calm down and start a reasonabke debate, considering, that:

The left:
Castrates kids, approves of grooming, protests for killing babies etc

The right:
Tried an insurrection, want to kill trans people, hate minorities, want rich to be richer etc

@Yujiri it's a psyop, ignore it and dont pick a side. it's all about whose echo chamber is better (when they're all cringe)
be skeptical of everything

Just a friendly reminder.

There are absolutely zero natural crises. The state of panic is all psychological and man-made so that those in control can keep control. Overpopulation, climate issues, viruses, food and water availability, everything is being used as a weapon, yet nothing is in jeopardy. Literally all problems we as humans face ate created by the governments of the world.
