This is what irritates me the most. I can live with Trump being president despite how much I disagree with the idiot's concepts. But this places him, as a very orange person, above the law that others have to abide by.

These are cases that were filed before his "president" status from the result of this election and before he even became a candidate in this election. For fuck sake, this should have stopped the whole ball from rolling.

No one is going to listen to your points if you come from a place of hatred.

72 million Trump voters embraced the hatred Trump spewed. Literally look at what you're saying and apply it to what happened the other day and decide yourself if you're wrong or right.

Listen, either what happened is OK or it isn't. And when you say "these are humans who voted with concerns for themselves and their communities" it makes seem like electing a felon, rapist, insurrectionist moron to the highest office is OK.

So that's why I'm here writing to you: to fucking tell you that it's not, and to ask you to not try to justify it or make this shit sound reasonable. It's not.

It's one month later and I am back to reply:

I don't want to replace HTTP, or the web. But, I also absolutely don't want to build anything in greater complexity than what we have today. In other words, keep it for what it's doing now, but having an isolated app/container based platform efficiently served through a browser might just be a good thing for everyone?

5 years ago I was writing rust code compiled to web-assembly and then struggling to get it to run in a browser. I did that because I couldn't write an efficient enough version of whatever the algorithm I was following in javascript - probably on account of most things being objects. I got it to run eventually with decent enough performance, but it wasn't fun gluing all that mess together. I think if there was a better delivery platform for WASM built into browsers and maybe eventually mobile platforms, it would probably be better than today's approach to cross-platform apps being served via HTTP.

In my view you're arriving at conclusions of how to act and think a result of being biased by the popular vote. The popular vote has no influence over the existing laws that are being broken nor the existing rights that are being violated. Furthermore, ask yourself, when has the other party ever given a single fuck about the popular vote? So, why do you?

Edit: Made some edits to clarify. Essentially, I'm making the argument that laws shouldn't be broken and rights shouldn't be ignored just because a majority is OK with doing so.

Trump getting the popular vote is a problem that needs to be understood. The majority of America voted for a moron that looks as if he smears feces on his face after getting out of bed - among worse flaws.

But what I find most painful is that this asshole wasn't locked up for J6. Him even being considered as a candidate is blatantly against the constitution. The fact democrats went along with this long enough to actually have the orange shitler win is insane. He is simply and plainly not eligible to be President of the United States.

Edit: Ironically, this is the same clown that spent years nagging Obama for his birth certificate.

Ok, let's try to narrow this down so our exchanges aren't vague. To me going from propellers to jet engines would have been "revolutionary", but to you it may have just been incrementally expanding on the concept of a wing that keeps aircraft afloat.

So for clarity, I'm not suggesting a complete replacement to HTTP. I don't envision a world where the web as we know gets fully "replaced". But, I do think that it has out lived its purpose and ultimately we should be seeking a better protocol for information exchange. Or, in other words, I don't think formulating a solution that can provide privacy, integrity, etc should be restricted to being built on HTTP just because that is what we essentially consider the web to be today.

Many years ago I deleted all posts/comments that were listed under my user profile, but hundreds of them still show up when I use a search engine. I even tried going through all of those search results and deleting the comments directly from where they were posted. Doing that makes it look like the comments are being removed; you can even refresh the page and confirm that you don't see them anymore, but after some time they always come back. I've done multiple cycles of trying to delete these comments and they never actually get removed.

Reddit is run by scumbags.

I don't know how much of it is specifically Google making their search engine worse vs the web being flooded with AI generated SEO trash that's intended to keep you on the page for a few minutes when all you need is a simple one word or one sentence answer.

It's definitely some mix of both though because I found getting concrete answers a lot simpler a decade or two ago just by using quotes around key phrases in conjunction with what seemed to be actual operator keywords like "OR". I personally don't think any of that behaves the same way these days, but I have no concrete proof of this so maybe I'm just imagining things.

Either way, I'm slowly coming to terms with the web portion of the internet being a lost cause as AI, bots, and bad actors infiltrate and abuse more and more of it.

Every passing day we delve deeper into this hole that is a cold technology driven world. Instead we really should be taking the time to share our outbreaks with friends and family.

I have a Steam Deck and a PS5 that I will be replacing with the Pro when it ships. So to give you an answer: I'm not going to be plugging a Steam Deck into a 4k 65" OLED TV with VRR. Don't get me wrong, I love the Steam Deck, and I also enjoy PC gaming when mouse and keyboard makes sense, but sitting on the couch in font of a giant responsive display with amazing colors is by far how I enjoy gaming the most.

If you're primarily interested in trying it just to see what it's like, you may have more luck by putting it on a USB stick and booting that rather than using a VM. It would likely give you a better idea of how it runs/performs on your hardware if you're considering it as a native desktop OS.
