@aral Brave of you to think he's intelligent enough to understand what fascism is to support it

@thomasfuchs It's odd that Tesla shills, who you'd think would own Cybertrucks and therefore experience them rusting, would believe they're lying. It makes me worry about how delusional some people are getting when they can deny things right in front of their eyes that affect them purely negatively, without even propaganda to prevent them from believing it.

@SuperDicq @lynnesbian yeah but an empty godot project is 85 megabytes

@yassie_j anarchists being anarcringe as usual

i have them personally instanceblocked

programmers went from "i saved 2 bytes today" to "yeah we will use 9.4 terabytes of ram for hello world using our meta-meta-metaframeworks"

Adding to this: I went through a phase of being obsessed with graphing calculators.

CASIO had actually invented these things, in 1985. Initially, they used a Z80 derivative. Later, they shifted over to the NEC V30MX. Also known as the Intel 8086. The OS was Datalight ROM-DOS. A clone of MS-DOS. Yes, they ran DOS on a calculator. This actually worked fine for a while and they got through several generations of calculator with it.

But they had a problem. In 2005, it was time to make their next generation of calculators to squeeze even more money from the educational market - but for some reason they couldn't or didn't want to use their old platform. So what do they do?
