  • No? It’s a metaphor for an “uplifting” story that’s not actually uplifting at all since it’s “about someone remedying the immediate effects of a sociopolitical issue that ignore the root cause of said issue.”

    Sometime ago somebody posted a news story about X person/organisation paying off the lunch debt of pupils. That was an orphan crushing machine moment, why can a kid in elementary school have “lunch debt” in the first place?

    This is not that, one could argue it’s not that uplifting but it has nothing to do with orphan crushing machine.




  • C buttons are meant for camera controls so a good amount of games did have fewer buttons to use. And dpad’s positioning meant for most games it served no use at all. There is no reason both couldn’t have been on the same handle.

    It’s not as bad as I thought it was yesterday when I wrote without thinking about it too much but it’s still a big step down from the SNES controller. There is a reason a lot of people prefer modern replacements like Brawler64








  • There is no benefit to using Firefox unless you really like uBlock Origin and will not consider another kind of adblocker.

    Mozilla is just controlled opposition lead by the same greedy executives as Google anyway, using it won’t make a difference. It’s at best 3% market share won’t stop Google from pushing their crap to everyone else either.

    Problems of the modern web in general cannot be solved by just another browser engine. What it really needs is simplification. A way to make it do what it does now but faster and in a way that is easier to implement, but I don’t see anyone doing that in the near future.
