Dranon Dyson sounds like a weirdly cool fantasy/scifi name

Skill issue. Moving past everyone is easy peasy lemon squeezy

Unix philosophy: never alert or stop the user from causing irreparable damage

if we keep the HTTP connection open indefinitely, we can dynamically update the page from the server, without any JavaScript!

Isn’t that what chatrooms did back in the 1990s? I’m 90% sure that’s how they did it back then

Not quite what I asked. I meant, if I make a linux executable, for ARM cpu, that uses SDL (suppose all libs and dependencies are packed in) and run it from termux, will it work?

Frankly, you’re better off playing on steam. Find a game, share the game name or link with friends, install, play together. There are plenty of free, multiplayer games there.

SteamDB offers a much better search than Steam itself, many useful filters on the right side - https://steamdb.info/tag/113/?category=1

There’s a saying in Brazil that “people vote with their belly”, usually as a derogatory for foor people voting for govt spending in social programs.

Another saying come to mind, “no democracy exists with empty bellies”, because anyone that is hungry or at risk will vote for whoever is more likely to ensure their survival. Another important thing to think about, everyone votes with their belly, with the well-fed wanting to stay that way

like roblox, like that it has its own marketplace and stuff, not just the old roblox client.

The way you describe it, you don’t want a “game”, but rather VRChat or Second Life, but focused on games rather than socializing

WELL WELL WELL, WHO COULD’VE PREDICTED SUCH A PREDICAMENT???

perhaps Microsoft’s senior execs need to read the room, sit down, and take some responsibility for the chaos they’ve unleashed on the world.

And come down from their ivory towers, see things from the same plane of existence as the serfs and plebeians that should be grateful for living under their shadow? Preposterous!!!

They’d die of several venereal diseases, given the bullshit-rich diet of billionaires

Sloppers will go where there is money to be made. The only real solution is giving no place where their shit can be profitable. I’m not saying “might as well stay here”, I’m saying that your solution doesn’t solve anything.

Suppose YT gets overrun with slop, people will migrate elsewhere, both content creators and viewers. Most CC will migrate where they can get the most viewership - which in turn helps them monetize it in some form. Wherever this is, I doubt it’ll offer the video hosting and streaming for free (video on demand requires fuckloads of storage and bandwidth), so someone has to foot the bill, likely the viewers by watching ads and being offered subscriptions. Once it’s possible to make money out of video content, guess who’ll show up?

The only way to stop the slop is by making it unprofitable.

What’s the point of moving out of YT if sloppers will slop anyway? “Oh, you have control of your content” - which isn’t enough to stop the plagiarism. The whole point of the video was showing how content was being stolen and regurgitated for the sloppers’ profit, having your own peertube instance won’t fix that, getting revenue outside YT, like a patreon, won’t fix that.

There is considerable backlash against AI, but that backlash is not enough to stop sloppers from doing this shit, there are still too many people who “don’t care” and watch anyway, which further incentivizes more of that shit to show up. As long as it remains profitable for the ai shit sloppers, the problem will remain

OK, but why haven’t they started diversifying and uploading their stuff to the fediverse?

That wouldn’t fix the problem of industrial scale slop plagiarism. Even if they had their own platform, like the folks running Nebula, all it’d take is the AI puppet to get an account there, steal the content and reupload their slopped shit to youtube.

Don’t worry, he’ll be promoted to a special position in Siberia

I also know browsers have continuously gotten better at dealing with and adjusting to bad frontend performance

Citation needed

But I would counter that frontend performance is as important now as ever

Citation needed - it certainly feels like frontend performance was rarely seen as important in the past 10+ years.

So, again, anyone have a good ideas or thoughts as to why this field has erupted, and seemingly absorbed frontend?

Probably for the same reason that “programmers” got separated into “backend/frontend”, so that it feels like you have more specialists, instead of asking them to do a good job in the first place.

I’m afraid someone might take this shit seriously

It’s even funnier when you consider that this has been the case for millenia

I’ve always wondered, because sometimes it looked like that, despite being banned, a certain account still made new posts to the community they were banned from
