... and it mechanically promotes planned obsolescence by its nature (likely to be of disastrous quality). The perfect mur... errr... the perfect fraud.

bluerevolver amazing shmup made with löve.

löve is getting a vulkan backend. I would have prefered löve to be plain and simple C coded instead of this abomination which is c++ (but it seems coding AIs may be very good at assisting mass c++ to plain and simple C port).


I get a blank page with links2 browser.

Me too with w3m.

Wow, look at the page source! It's an insane amount of javascript. I wonder what it does.


Evergreens only. Yes it's a whole OS in there, 7mb.

There are still web devs unable to make the difference between a web site and a web app and how important the web site is in regards of the web app.

This is an app, the file works from a file:// domain without a local Webserver. It's a different thing than other things you have seen.

BTW, any web API working with CURL with a "public" API key for anonymous access of major AI inference services? (for testing, can be severely rate limited)

Well, since it happened also for my gov (France) 10 years ago, we can see this pattern happening in the whole EU.

There is a mixure of incompetence and big tech aggressive lobbying on gov 'standards' all over EU... making anything internet hard locked on big tech ultra-massively complex software, protocols and file formats.

In my country, it is the web: classic web support interop was actually killed 10 years ago. Now, only web apps requiring one of the gigantic and ultra complex web engines from the WHATNG cartel are working. No more "small' web engines (including their SDK) does work, and it did close the door for good to anything 'not big tech' (here the WHATNG cartel), what a bummer, oopsie!

In means in my country, to interact with the gov agencies and dependencies, you are now FORCED BY LAW to use only WHATNG cartel web engines. Wow, corruption (there is big public money there)? brain washing grade lobbying (what seems to be the case)? incompetence (always expected on complex matters)?

To add insult to injury, in my country, the ONLY person who have the power to fix that is the prime minister (then also the president). Oooof!

Of course, very simple classic web sites do work on 'smart phones' (apple did threaten to remove its browser... we know why: to force a technical hard dependency on them since they have a significant amount of the "market").

We all know their weak spot: a simple and stable in time, "good enough" to do the job, set of existing protocols/file formats (to protect the SDKs, I would include the computer languages, for instance excluding c++ and similar for plain and simple C and assembly to protect against the obviously ultra-complex SDK components): it will reduce dramatically the complexity and size of any current and future, local, implementations.

What's seems to be happening when I look at that: some people all over EU countries are trying to fight their way out of big tech because of gov officials probably being brain washed by lobbying (do not exclude the possibility of "corruption" and there is always some level) of incompetence which is expected).

Since it is happening in France and Germany, core of the EU...

Now what?


In my country, I discovered a few days ago that my gov (EU country), had its web technical directives line-up with big tech web (in 2015/2016): during the last decade I have been suffering the breakage of the classic web interop of the gouv admnistration web replaced using a lot of bucks by "exclusive big tech" web apps, aka requiring only those massive bloat and kludge web engines from the "whatng" cartel (mozilla/apple/google): no more small, alternative and reasonably sized (SDK included) web browsers anymore.

The most amazing thing is with everything I did in the last decade, the consulting of lawyers, member of internet/IT/software specialized user groups, I still don't know how I have managed to be aware _NOT_ for years that those very web technical directives are actually... law.

Only the prime minister, then also the president, have the power to modify/fix those technical directives. The parliaments, or any technical authorities have ZERO power over them.

The EU, via a directive, only requires for the member states to publish those technical directives to the other member states for "discussion" before final approval.

In other words, deciding on those technical directives requires the same power than to decide to build an ICBM submarine or an aircraft carrier, not less. Maybe because they are not that un-important...

The irony, the gov of 2015/2016 which approved those technical directives which would, without any doubt, end up with everything web being big tech exclusive (and this is what actually happened) was... a left-ist gov(!!). I suspect corruption or brain washing grade lobbying (maybe with fraud while consulting experts, or those experts were mostly from big tech).

The bright side, if those technical directives are fixed in order to restore the classic web, the whole gov with its dependencies have 3 years to comply. Just need to tell the president or the prime minister... baw...


Microsoft github.com should restore classic web compatibility for the core functions (issue tracking, etc) and be native IPv6.

dude, "linux" has been for everyone for more than a decade. Only game devs sucks at crafting broad elf/linux binaries for games (since most are also unable to do so on even windows)... but above all: no mass _DEFAULT_ installation of elf/linux distros on PCs (look at android linux...).

That would mean he left, but people did not...
