Just another voice yelling in the void.

I’ve probably protested for your rights. I’m definitely on at least one list.

I believe firmly that everyone should have a fair shake and as much freedom as they can be afforded - so long as it does not encroach on the freedoms of others.

Occasionally a wordy cunt who will type a book when a sentence or two will suffice.

  • Seems someone said it before me… But you missed the point.

    I’ll respond to your statement generally though.

    Basic survival on 56k was doable. Shoutcast or Pandora could even be streamed with occasional buffering while browsing more light, or less heavy, sites. On the topic of video - low quality 240 would be “manageable” again, thanks to modern compression.

    Was it a good experience? Rarely. Was it passible? Certainly; and if a site optimised for load time and reduced bandwidth - it could even be near broadband “experience” with some caching tricks.

    Im not saying everyone needs to be code gods and build a 96k fps… But optimizing comes from understanding what you are writing and how it works. All this bloat is the result of laziness and a looser grasp on the fundamentals. As to why we should take a harder look at optimization?

    • Datacenter / cloud costs are rising… Smaller footprint - smaller bill.

    • Worldwide hardware costs are rising… Less people will be building fire breathing monsters. Better optimization - better user experience - more users. Recent examples (of poor optimization:) fallout and early 2077.












  • I remember when I first listened to Fleetwood Mac’s Rumors and thought “This isn’t one of the greatest raw emotional albums of all time, no, this is disgusting subhuman noise. Keep cheating men’s private sins private”

    Do point out to me where I said keep anyone’s anything private. I said the act of publicly profiting off of their side of a story was the sub human act. It is, quite literally, selling a story which may (and frequently is) embellished at the others expense.

    This isn’t making lemonade with lemons… Its shit human behavior. And before you forget that I pointed it out: so was the cheating. Thus: they deserved each other.

    But yes: read half of my statement and distill it into “woman bad” or whatever nonsense you were ragebaiting over.

    Very cool, very hinged take.

    Indeed.


  • Look I’ll be that guy. Someone cheats - drop em. Say your piece. Whatever. But if you are making a book deal on it… Or profiteering off the situation? That’s subhuman.

    If he did that? Piece of shit, absolutely.

    But if shes taking creative license and publicising her “side of the story”… And looking to profit off it? Nah. You lost me. If anything it sounds like they deserved each other. I sure as fuck would steer clear of both of em.

    You have two consenting adults acting like anything but.
