You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
Weird little details you forget over the years: when you resize a window on an older computer, it would just show the border being dragged, then only redraw the window when you release the mouse button
I guess it was too memory-intensive to redraw the entire window in real time back then?
Installing things on a Mac has always been a nightmare for me, whereas installation on a PC always becomes a nightmare eventually but feels like it works well enough off the bat.
How, in the former case? It's pretty straightforward, I think.
Well, I'm not really used to it, and I inevitably only use Macs when I'm at my aunt's house anyway.

very much so. memory and CPU intense.
fun fact: you know what a GPU is, but before GPUs there were specialized coprocessors called "blitters" that were hardware dedicated solely to moving bits around (useful for, say, moving a window around the screen, when your screen is a fairly direct view of memory)
More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.
btw we're typing this from the same computer, on the same account, with the same body. UwU We have become one. We are Chimera Mikodrym. We are legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. >:3

I'm on the bus today. Fuck all that.
China and Taiwan are, as of right now, de facto separate countries; stop trying to declare each other nonexistent. And give Taiwan a seat at the UN.
Fucking give Ukraine back Crimea already.
