  • Batch files¹, powershell, visual basic if you use Office, Lisp if you used AutoCAD back when macros were written in Lisp... 🤷‍♂️

    ¹- And, frankly, I doubt setting up NixOS is particularly more complex than setting up an autoexec.bat boot menu back when some programs (well, games are programs) wanted extended memory and some others wanted expanded memory (couldn't have both modes at the same time, of course), and you had to make sure the drivers loaded in the most optimal order (which could vary depending on the aforementioned memory expanders, and which drivers the specific game actually needed) to fit as many as possible of them and DOS in high memory leaving as much as possible of the 640KB of system RAM free for the program... and I'm not even getting into the whole IRQ thing for soundcards and whatnot... and we had to do it all without Internet, learning by trial and error, or word of mouth, or from magazines...

  • No, the point is to prevent real democracy by being “democratic enough”.

  • All the constitutional monarchies started as just monarchies.

    Nope.

    Spain, for instance, started as a dictatorship.

    Then the bastard died of being an old piece of shit, hopefully extremely painfully, and the corrupt fratricidal parasite he'd named as a successor, a descendant of some dude who had been king long before the dictatorship (which started as a coup against a democratic republican government) he'd been grooming for years, was named king.

    There was a sham "democratic transition" that defecated a "democratic construction" with the military threatening the elected politicians to make sure the new constitution wasn't too democratic, and a referendum where the people voted for that thing because at least it wasn't as bad as going back to the dictatorship.

    Then a few years later the parasite (secretly) staged a coup, and then publicly diplomatically dismantled it, enshrining himself as a saviour of democracy and making sure the citizenship wouldn't push for radical change, lest the next coup succeed.

    As the bastard Franco said before he died, he left everything “tied up and well tied up”.

  • Or 1984, or Brave New World.

    My money's on Terry Gilliam's Brazil, though.

  • Cyberpunk 2077 could have actually been way more sexploitative if it would be true to its setting

    The fact that we can't get cyberware for our junk was quite disappointing when I first played the game.

  • Fluoride drops and tablets for kids should be taken off the market, FDA says

  • You could make a great movie about the fluoride prohibition

    We already have one: Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.

  • It's literally just a French word.

    Yeah, there's no need for the redundancy, really; if you say “French” you can omit “pretentious”, it's already implied.

  • There is a ramp, or something. It just happens to be on the other side.

    The problem here is clearly neurological (i.e., it's some other orange cat's turn with the neuron).

  • Photocopy of a photocopy.

    It was evident that this was inevitable since they poisoned the Internet, the very thing they train their crap on, with their own slop.

    They temporarily mitigated it by pirating every existing form of media... but that would only work as long as they didn't train their models on anything published after they poisoned the well, which would make it even more useless for most use cases, so they kept using their own slop for training, maybe believing their own lies that they'll be able to fix it, maybe planning to sell and run just before the bubble bursts.

    Last time we fed something its own shit and corpses we got mad cow disease.

    Guess mad "AI" ¹ is on the menu for the foreseeable future. 🤷‍♂️

    ¹ (It's not even real AI, just fancy applied statistics to make a marginally better — but, thanks to model poisoning, progressively worse — autocomplete.)
