Press Space to say "Apple"

Unfortunately, they miscalculated and thought that single threaded performance (specifically higher clock speeds) would continue to advance at the same pace as it has been before the release of Crysis, but what ended up happening instead is more focus on multithreading by releasing CPUs with more cores with smaller IPC improvements comparitively.

IPC improvements were obviously still a thing, but it took a while for hardware to be able to run Crysis maxed out at good framerates.

My main reasons are they limit free speech/expression and they chose to centralize power instead of giving the power to the people, both in the government and in the workplace.

I'm a socialist myself, but a big part of the reason why I'm a socialist is I'm very anti-corruption. I believe that the centralization of power allows for corruption (and the passing of unjust laws) to occur, as we have seen in the USA and USSR especially, but also basically everywhere else on Earth throughout recorded human history.

The definition of socialism is defined as workers owning the means if production, which I interpret as workers also getting a say in how the means of production are handled. This idea is incompatible with centralizing power by the way I interpret the definition of socialism.

Basically, check out Richard Wolff, who is an economic historian and covers this topic very well.

What do you call people from the US of A? Americans or United Statesians?

Yeah, obviously, but the US isn't going to implement privacy laws because that would impact American tech corporations as well, who also do mass data collection.

It's possible to have an idiology and at the same time disagree with other people with that idiology. That's just part of being a free thinker.

Leftists especially are famous for disagreeing with each other.

I'm a socialist, but I don't think mass centralization of power will ever lead to a good outcome. I believe in Richard Wolff's ideology, which involves forcing corporations to be worker-owned cooperatives.

Not just a modern issue, this applies historically as well.

Hitler didn't get elected Chancellor; he was appointed by a liberal as an attempt at compromise.

I mean, yeah. It was literally written in Project 2025.

On one page: execute all pedos

A hundred pages later: all trans people are pedos

They tasted the tiniest bit of power, and now it's all they crave.

Yeah, that's yet another societal woe unfortunately

There's also an F-Droid repo

The maintainer of IronFox and Phoenix.js are the same person.

See this git history: https://gitlab.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox/-/commits/dev?ref_type=HEADS

It doesn't, but some people need that perspective. In some parts of society, men are treated as beings who always want sex regardless of any circumstance, regardless of whether it's true or not.

Just imagine middle school idiology extended to adulthood

If you want something that will scream on that hardware, AntiX (Debian based). AntiX runs much faster than Windows XP on my Pentium 3 rig from the late 90s.

Otherwise, I'd go with one of the flavors of Linux Mint, which should also run fine, especially if you go with Xfce or MATE.

If it can run Windows 7 fine, it can run Mint even better.

Flip the genders and say that again

Chrono Trigger (Probably the best JRPG ever made, or even the best game ever made)

Terranigma (Very philisophical action RPG that also happens to be a lot of fun)

Silent Hill (The vibes alone make this one, but it also has a great story)

DOOM (This one should be obvious)

Majora's Mask (An emotional powerhouse of a game)

Tetris

Also pick any mainline console Mario game that came out between 1985 and 1996 (not including The Lost Levels, but including US SMB 2)

Super Mario Land 2

Pokemon 2nd gen

All GOAT, but all for different reasons.

I'd argue that hating concepts can lead to productive societal growth, and could even lead to personal growth depending on what is hated and for what reason.

For example, I hate capitalism, corruption, greed etc., which led me to learn more about alternatives that I would have not learned about otherwise. This could also go both ways, though, since hate for the exact same things have also led people down a fascist road, as human nature makes it so that we always want an enemy to blame. Whether that enemy is the ultra-wealthy or whether it's the common man (ex: trans people, women, immigrants, etc.) is largely dictated by the media they consume and the people they surround themselves with.

Mob mentality is alive and well, and it's up to all of us (as non-billionaires) to focus that energy in the correct places. Billionaires are the ones who started the culture war and keep feeding it, since that distracts normal people away from themselves, since they know that if they didn't give the masses a group to hate (the common man), that they would find their own group to hate (billiomaires).

There's a reason Luigi has so much support even though he allegedly murdered someone.

Economic instability will always lead to resentment over something and/or someone/group.

That's how I read it too, and I'm very familiar with the scene.

Could easilly mean both, though, and finding prototype games is much more common.

The thumbnail didn't help either
