It was the mid-2000s. Graphics were held to different standards back then.

Yikes, those high CPU threads. Definitely needs some more polishing.

I’m just waiting for everything they haven’t killed to merge onto YouTube, at this point. Because that seems to be the direction things are headed.

Most (popular) programs are lagging because they’re all bundling an entire web browser to get around the cross-platform hurdle. Good in theory, bad in practice. However, even infamous programming languages like Java are now as fast as C thanks to advances in hardware and software, such multiple cores and asynchronous tasks.

Don’t put words in my mouth, and drop it already. This argument has gone on long enough. It is inconsequential and pointless. No one is settling or agreeing to fucking anything.

Apple’s whole marketing campaign is literally about privacy.

I’ve given up trying to discuss this topic that’s already been downvoted to oblivion, anyway. But, if you’re curious, I was trying to get the point that Android is pretty useless without the whole Infrastructure Google built, but they kept making it about ASOP. As if the average Joe even knows what that is.

If we judge Android on its own, yes, it can be incredibly safe and secure for its open source abilities. But that conventionally ignores everything else. Google pushes Android forward, Google creates the SDKs, Google creates the IDEs, Google creates all the non-phone variants of the OS. Android isn’t on GitHub, it’s on Google’s servers. “Biggest contributor” is an understatement.

Fine. But you can’t obviously say Android is somehow better at privacy when its biggest contributor to the code and ecosystem is a fucking indecisive ad company.

Who contributes the most to Android and push forward new releases?

It is on the subject of privacy. Chrome and Android are owned by the same company.

Did you not see what Google is shoving into Chrome?

And it’ll be gone in two years.

I love my Steam Deck.

Doesn’t mean people should accept their attempts to nickle and dime them.

Before self-hosting web apps became one-click install away, Ubuntu was a lot more convenient with newer technologies, readily available documentation, and a clear update schedule. At least, that was my case.

WebAssembly was never intended to replace JavaScript. It was intended to coexist with it. You still need something to initialize and load the binary.

I feel sorry for whoever is still living in Russia.
