It’s almost like sex is a natural part of human existence and it being taboo is the bit that really fucks people up.

Unless it’s an HD one, there’s no input buffer so it’s impossible for a CRT to have more than a frame of input lag. And the console needs a frame to notice your input anyway.

There are only a few reasons I can surmise that this would be the case:

CRTs don’t add any input lag

There’s no extra latency from being connected to the internet

There’s no latency from bluetooth/wireless on the controller

Because most older games are extremely badly optimised by today’s standards. The original Metroid slows to an absolute crawl when there’s more than about 4 sprites on the screen; the dragon boss in Mega Man (2, I think) was such a laggy, slippery mess that I gave up trying to beat the game; Ocarina of Time runs at 20FPS (worse if you’re in a PAL territory like I am), and that’s one of the better playing N64 games.

I think you’re either noticing one of these extra sources of delay, or you’re blinded by nostalgia.

I say that Emma Stone should divorce her husband and marry me instead.

Anybody who shits on trans people “for the children” or “for the women” should be viewed with suspicion.

They’re saying that because the only reason they can fathom that people would transition is to assault women and children. The fact that that’s where their mind goes says much more about them than about trans people.

It really depends how basic and how “general public” we’re talking. At work I’ve had multiple people email me their credit card details in plaintext. That might fall into the “beyond help” category.

A few points I think are important:

• Use an adblocker

• Use a password manager

• Don’t connect things to the internet that don’t need to be connected to the internet

• If it needs to be connected to the internet, keep it up-to-date

I think that covers the basics without impacting convenience too much. While I personally think that your TV is something that doesn’t need to be connected to the internet, I imagine most laypeople wouldn’t agree with me and do it anyway.

While this article has some good points, it really is sad, and kind of ironic, that the first paragraph of it is bullshit clickbait that completely undermines the rest of the text.

A tale as old as time. Banning media you don’t like is a lot easier than parenting your children.

Any game featuring most kinds of animal, including people, is evidence that sex occurred. We should ban those too.

I work in ecommerce, so the answer is “ours”. I get far too many calls saying “Do you sell x”, or “How much is y”, and because of how terrible our website’s search function is, I can’t just say “use the fucking website, that’s what it’s there for” like I desperately want to.

We all know they use Signal, anyway.

I still use Firefox despite Mozilla because fuck Google.

I tried Librewolf, but YouTube (yeah, I know) ran like crap on it for some reason.

Me saying “RIP” was an attempt at hyperbole. That being said, shoehorning AI into something for which a big selling point is that it’s user-made is a gigantic misstep - Maybe they’ll listen to everybody, but given that they tried it at all, I can’t see them properly backing down. Especially when it was worded as “pausing” the experiment.

I remember when I first bought my Gamecube… I had to sign an agreement that I would never play a non-Nintendo property again. “How could they ever enforce this?” I thought. Little did I know that the next day, the Sony SWAT Team would be bursting into my house to extract my Playstation. It was absolutely terrifying.

I haven’t played a single non-Nintendo game since.

If they thought this would be well-received they wouldn’t have sprung it on people. The fact that they’re only “pausing the launch of the experiment” means they’re going to do it again once the backlash has subsided.

RIP Wikipedia, it was a fun 24 years.
