I honestly never expected the final death blow for Firefox to come from Mozilla.

Powerhoof and joy masher make some nice indie games.
it's more of an operating system with a text editor included :p
"Torvalds groaned and replied, "I never had a vision. I don't want one. I see myself as a plodding engineer." On that note, the interview ended to the crowd's applause."
Legend.
yes, the web itself is dying with the centralisation of services on top of the blazing dumpster fire that is the current browser ecosystem. So many aspects of the first generation internet have been lost, even the basic concept of it being a massively distributed, hyperlinked collection of pages is just FAANG serving occasional content to break up the adverts. All wrapped up in their own delivery apps that can punish non-compliance with obscurity.
If only they applied the same rigor to big tech scraping the same content into large language models. I guess the bypass paywall team wasn't big enough to afford the legion of lawyers that Sam Altman and co can summon on demand. We can just wait for chatgpt to serve those articles direct to our search results and nobody will even visit their website, because we live in a world where stealing an article to read is illegal, while stealing all of them for profit is not.
No computer should be without one! :D
Robotron on mame and yar's revenge on 2600.

Yes! That is a true masterpiece that at the time set a new standard.
3 of them:
-
watching an Amiga 500 load from disk having only seen 8bit games on tape. Everything that machine did at the time was like magic.
-
watching the castle fly through intro for Unreal on PC when the first 3D accelerators appeared. Everything changed after that.
-
experiencing the shark diving demo on PlayStation VR. And also how nothing changed after that! xD
And to have been able to experience that evolution from space invaders to cyberpunk in a single life time has been a privilege.

I hope so. I hope there could be a future where Mozilla is purged of these people and returned to being just a browser. Not everything has to be a "platform" with a business model for MBA's to feast on.
