That’s how I look at 90% of the shit “systems” I’m forced to interact with (xiaomi’s MIUI, banking apps, govt apps, apps that should’ve been fucking websites, websites that “gently nudge” you to use the app, electron apps that are windows only)

Java, verbose? laughs in Pascal

Python being Esperanto? Yeah, no, because Python is actually being used

Really? Then I must’ve been taught wrong and never noticed

One “exit” per press

More of a shortcut, CTRL + A + D to exit the current session (exits a sudo su first, then a ssh, then the actual terminal)

They are Billions

All it needs is One. Single. Fucking. Mistake.

You might be interested in reading the Unix Haters Handbook. I mean, that the command to install a backport so easily allowed you to remove core packages without a… Better warning, is an old complaint

And then you have Capcom, who put fucking denuvo years AFTER a game’s release

From my understanding, in Brazil, you just ask your local dealer if he knows someone and he’ll put you in touch

Crypto whatever (coin, token, nft)

Social media

Internet as a whole (you can always dig a hole further down)

“You are not a worker, you are an entrepreneurial partner!” Type of corporate bullshit

Electric vehicles (mostly due to faulty batteries, but also because they don’t fix the problem of shitty car focused city design)

Juanito Greco, el destruidor de tabelas

Pretty sure they figured that out more than a decade ago. Blizzard (RIP) certainly did.

Even wasm relies on javascript and frankly, I see its existence as a failure of many layers. Machine code -> Operating system -> Browser -> WASM (emulated machine code)

Kurumin Linux, which was a Brazilian distro based on Knoppix. This was back in 2006 or so, and that was my first hands-on experience with Linux.

I don’t fully remember whether everything worked out of the box, I think it connected to the internet no problem (cable), but what amazed me was:

1 - It ran off the CD drive without needing to install anything 2 - It had loads of preinstalled utility software 3 - Less than 700MB

20-ish, rather. You can still find some legacy systems running some version of VisualBasic on Windows.

Also disagree with op, javascript is the current “lingua franca” of programming. Unless every browser decides to allow scripting in a less shotgun-your-foot language, javascript will remain widely used.

Crazy Shinobi Taxi, where you have drive a taxi to take passengers to their destinations, all while doing impossible acrobatic stunts that fire shurikens and kunais at nearby enemy ninja taxi drivers

Should fan translations and cultural restoration be encouraged for classic video games?

Yes, especially when official translations are shoddy and/or remove/censor stuff from the original

How do you feel about restoring original content, possibly dealing with sensitive issues, that was removed in Western releases of SNES games?

For most games, it’s only “sensitive” because a loud bunch of idiots screams too loudly without even understanding where/how/why things are being used. It’s also important to remember that the 80s had a full blown satanic panic in the main western market (USA), which only started to wane in the 90s

Bobby tables, noooooooo!

atleast a 5/10 in effort

The real irony is that OpenMW is a better engine than anything bethesda managed to come up with in the past 20 years.
