What Jamie wants here would be a good thing in the world.
But (1) the web's reference implementation is Chromium - that ship has entirely sailed and done several trips around the globe and (2) the only way you get to be an attack dog on standards committees is if your implementation of the standard has users, and for that see (1).

한 분야를 열심히 해왔더라도, 정말 특출나게 스펙이 갖춰진거 같지 않으면 서류도 안 봐주면서, 좀 다른 길을 택해보려 하면 "원래 □☆ 쪽으로 가려고 한 스펙 같은데, 여긴 왜 지원하셨어요?" 라고 물어보더라. 그냥 다른 길을 모색하고 도전해보고자 하는 것 자체가 금지되어버린 느낌이야.

This #gotosocial instance has been successfully migrated to a new VPS running #nixos, with distributed backups powered by #restic and #syncthing, together with remote backups powered Hetzner S3 storage.
I love so much how NixOS lets me just write what's essentially an IaC definition for a machine, so it just works without any issues. And if I forget how I set everything up, I can just look at the code.
Thanks to https://github.com/elitak/nixos-infect for the amazing project btw!

Computers weren't an economic bubble, at all. By the way, here's your pen and lighter with a built-in calculator, "I bet you've waited for it". Comes in gold (15,000 yen), black (12,000 yen) and silver (10,000 yen).
The brand names are:
- IC Calculighter
- Calcupen
Also, "NASA Microcomputers" is definitely not a copyright violation, lol.

It seems the illustration standards back in 1979 were higher than they are today.

I found out recently about Bunnyrom, the program that every knock-off Tamagotchi runs.
https://bunnyrom.neocities.org/
I love the mystery of it, how despite its ubiquity, nobody seems to know its provenance.
I hate that it's ruined the mystery of the unplayed knock-off. Before I knew about this, I could look at a knock-off Tamagotchi on the shelf, or in an online store, and wonder about it. Yes, of course it'll be bad, but it might be bad in a new interesting way??
Nope, it's just Bunnyrom again.
