I've now started linkifying my discussion of how the Nintendo Entertainment System compares to the hardware I designed for web browsing.

In particular the small microprocessor I added for checksums, symmetric crypto, randomness, reading/writing numbers, counting, comparisons, SFX, etc.

@ephemeral I love thinking through how things could be different!

I do appreciate solid-state drives, & I can see the value in fully-programable GPUs... Or widespread fiber... I don't think I appreciate much else in computing since mid-2000s...

Cryptography improved, & we have CRDTs & DGGS now. But that's software!

Going back to 1980s meanwhile, I think (if your software supported that hardware) most people would probably complain about the limited memory before the limited CPU!

in reply to alcinnz

that's fair. It's hard to imagine what people might think in that hypothetical. Maybe 'the web' would have remained a bunch of computers tethered together at CERN and a mild curiosity for people who read encyclopaedias.

I don't think I know enough about computing to know what hasn't advanced, and I appreciate your thoughts there.

And I guess lot of the fiber that affected the day-to-day was already rolled out in the late 90s, so even that predates your timeline.

Antivaccine bullshit is most likely to be blamed.

But also, are vaccines provided for free in the U.S.? Do you have to pay for them? If so, could many of those known as working poors be unable to afford them?

unicode proposal: you should be able to send an emoji with a specifier for which image set and version you want.

sometimes you want to send ๐Ÿ˜”, and you don't mind which version is displayed. but sometimes you want to send ๐Ÿ˜”, and have it specifically be the Samsung TouchWiz 7.0 (2016) version.

no other iteration of ๐Ÿ˜” captures the feeling of "sigh... if only my girlfriend Chiaki Nanami from Danganronpa 2 was real... then i could be her Ultimate Gamer Husband instead of studying for this lame physics exam..." quite like this one

@IngaLovinde yes but ideally every client would have to contain every iteration of every emoji set, so i could just send U+1F614 PENSIVE FACE followed by U+200D ZERO WIDTH JOINER and U+EA07 TOUCHWIZ SEVEN MODIFIER

This and the Google product manager for the Pixel image manipulation tools saying you have to "clean up" your photos (remove people, erase incidental objects, change lighting) so that the image records the "true memory" of the moment (meaning, of course, the false memory of it).

Gotta hand it to the Fediverse, people made their own Starter Pack thing (like Bluesky).

So obviously I'm jumping in to help you find people to follow.

My first pack is Gaming News: fedidevs.com/s/MjI3/

Feel free to reply here for suggested accounts for me to add to it. But please don't suggest completely random communities and people. It's for account posting proper gaming news.

Boosts appreciated.

Additionally, if someone wants to install multiple pieces of software at once, they can go on packagepicker.co and pick up what they want from the limited pool, the site will then generate a single command to run on the terminal (obligatory disclaimer to always be cautious of random scripts on the internet)

It's conceptually similar to Ninite on Windows
