The article doesn’t really explain why except “maybe someone would like it” but I think the real answer was CGA. CGA was a predecessor color technology to VGA with a different 8 bit color space. So if you took a color scheme for CGA and rendered it on VGA you’d end up with a really garish scene.

When I was a kid I had a DOS game that I played the hell out of. I ended up ruining the disk, and stupidly didn’t have a backup, but the box included a CGA version of the game. It played just fine on my computer except that the colors were trippy on my VGA monitor.

Came here to make the same comment.

really starts normalizing nazism

As we speak Dick Cheny is lying in state in front of all the “good liberals”

Imagine paying being so insecure that you spend billions of dollars for a robotic sycophant

But I was informed that Democrats were the good guys!

Cornell West put it perfectly: Trump is a neofascist gangster and Summers is a neoliberal gangster

I graduated in 2006. When I was in school the idea was that there wouldn’t be any programmers left in the USA because it would all be offshore. But by the time I graduated it was fairly easy to find work. There was a slowdown in 2008 but tech did better than most other fields. This is where the idea comes from that tech will come back, I think. Tech is cyclical but it’s not on the same cycle as other business, or hasn’t been.

The whole AI thing is fake. What’s really going on is another massive offshoring attempt. Everyone I know who’s lost a job lost it to offshoring not AI. This is basically 2001 all over again. So the idea is that offshoring will not work out again and the jobs will come back. Is it true or is this time different? I’m not entirely sure.

Theil is their leader. This is especially obvious with Elon. Elon is Theil’s dumb errand boy.

Someone with more time than me could easily do an entertaining mashup of Kirk and Mussolini quotes

I always thought i was left, but seeing how a lot of people on the left gleefully react to someone’s assasination makes me wonder if i’m actually left.

I don’t mourn Benito Mussolini’s passing, i never liked him. But i certainly don’t celebrate his murder either. Anyone who does should be put in a mental asylum as far as i’m concerned. They certainly have mental health problem

Planned obsolescence. 😎

Google is doing/will be doing all this anyway, combined with a search, maps, youtube, email, etc monopoly.

“Boy Trump’s sure turning America into a mess, let’s check in on how some of the more civilized countries are doing.”

Oh.

It put Ogdenville and West Haverbrook on the map.

Literally no one ever claimed it had reasoning capabilities

Altman and similar grifters were and are absolutely making those claims but maybe we’re excusing them as obvious liars?

I think the brick that is the point of this parody sailed right over your head.😁

This is a great analogy

Epic bacon must be worth at least 10 billion market cap.

The DOD just paid Elon a bunch of money for his mechahitler chat bot…

Who’s still buying this crap?

Eh what blood got AFCIs in there? Green blood from Siemens and Eaton as far as I can tell
