Most games, image processing libraries and other compute demanding libraries already use WASM in the browser. Have been for quite some time. It’s already widely used in every case where it provides a substantial benefit.

But writing for GUI, which is what 99% of JS is used for, WASM provides little benefit. The speed bottleneck is mostly in DOM manipulation. And every web GUI framework uses 200 npm packages with something like webpack. Getting that to somehow work with your WASM code would be a nightmare if it’s even feasible.

Everything “woke” about this movie was conspicuously missing from the trailers or any promotional material. The marketing for this film has been incredibly well handled.

Because he wants to be the original, damn it!

“But mom, I want to be a Tesla founder!”

“You weren’t there when Tesla was founded”

“I want it anyway, waaaah!”.

He has the emotional maturity of a spoiled child. Once you see it, everything he does makes 10x more sense.

I am sure Anarchy will lead us to a humanitarian utopia. Definitely not to an even worse form of capitalism. No, sir.

Your analogy doesn’t work at all.

The answer you’re being asked for needs to be a solution (what can replace capitalism?). The answer in your analogy is an observation (the plane crashed).

It’s fine to not have answers, but then your position is pretty useless. A societal system is a mandatory component of our lives. You can’t get rid of it without it being replaced with something else. If we don’t replace it, then one will arise naturally.

To follow your cancer example, it’s like a cancer patient saying they don’t want chemo or radiation because it’s not good enough. When they are asked what they want to do instead they just say “I don’t have answers, I just know these treatments aren’t very good”.

Winston Churchill is quoted saying

Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those others that have been tried.

Pretty much the same applies to capitalism.

but being able to decide after the fact that you want a heated steering wheel isn’t one of them.

No one is removed about being able to decide that you want a heated steering wheel. You can decide to install it on literally any car brand or model.

People are removed about the hardware that they have paid for and they own being locked behind by a software paywall. This would cause a riot with practically any other consumer electronics. Imagine if the fingerprint scanner on your smartphone was an extra $50 to unlock? Or quick charge being an extra $75?

That would be the most anti-consumer horseshit we’ve seen, and that’s exactly what Tesla is doing.

when “men” were portrayed as being simultaneously incompetent at everything they do, and at the same time manipulative and power hungry

Can’t help but be reminded of something.

On a basic level the message “Ken was silly, broke Barbieworld because he wanted to emulate men, they had to get Barbie and a feminist back to fix it”

How did he break it? He basically just flipped the genders so Kens are the ruling/working class and Barbies are just subservient eye candy. Barbie just flipped it back. It’s a broken and unimaginably unfair world in either case.

When Kens ask just for a bit of equality at the end, they are shut down and given some unimportant appeasement as a joke.

That’s how communism always ends up. When you hand over majority of the power to the state, it won’t be keen on giving it back.

That’s like saying the US is not capitalist because we don’t have a true free market and better products/services don’t always rise to the top.

These simply aren’t things that can practically happen, just like the workers owning the means of production.

No. The movie is very antagonistic towards men. I don’t think anyone who has seen the movie can dispute that in good faith.

Practically every male character in both the Barbie world and the real world is portrayed negatively. There are a few exceptions that are portrayed neutrally but they are mostly plot or exposition devices.

Conversely, practically every female character is portrayed positively. This creates a stark contrast that’s very difficult to ignore.

To be clear - personally I don’t care, it takes more to rile me up. But hating a movie that is deliberately spiteful towards your demographic is not an abnormal reaction. Neither is “slamming” the people who made it.

The idea is that the film is causing a knee jerk reaction in men who are otherwise prone to hiding their misogyny.

Why would a knee jerk reaction be any indication of misogyny? The movie is very antagonistic towards men. The proposition that having a negative reaction to that is misogyny is absurd.

Define “mad”. I’ve watched it (arrr) myself and The Barbie movie is very political, despite them completely hiding it in the trailers and the promotional material.

Fervent political media tends to rile people up, especially when it’s very one-sided. I presume you haven’t seen it and think people are upset over a light hearted comedy.

The tool that disables bloat is the LTSC edition. You can get windows 10 enterprise LTSC right now. Windows 11 LTSC is scheduled to leak in the second half of 2024.

Maybe he prefers to hand over his data to Google rather than Microsoft.

I remember Reddit was overwhelmingly united behind Depp; I assumed that Heard was in the right.

This is just incredibly intellectually lazy, to put it nicely. I don’t suppose you think climate change is a hoax, trump is a reasonable guy, and Russia is in the right? Those stances are the opposite of what reddit is overwhelmingly behind.

Asking random commenters to tell you what to think isn’t much better. The trial is public, there are plenty of highligh compilations. If you don’t have the time for that, you can read the verdict. The legal system and the jury are surely the better judges than randos on the internet.

Also it’s kind of ironic that you reject the popular opinion of reddit, only to come and ask for popular opinion on a reddit replacement.

That legitimately reads like it was written by a teenager who played a bunch of strategy games.

So much of it is “this is how it will be” in a prescriptive tone as if you can just will things into existence.

You could describe perfect capitalism in this exact manner, but obviously things don’t work in real life according to your perfect scenario.

Only 7.1 billion out of 44 billion is from outside investments. The remaining ~36 billion was paid by Musk.

People need to stop with the conspiracies. Musk isn’t playing 4d chess by tanking Twitter, he’s just an idiot.

Because it’s healthy to read and understand the thinking of the people who disagree with you.

If their arguments are irrational and the information they use is incorrect, you will get a better insight of how they came to forming their wrong views. It can help you avoid doing the same, and it can help you in arguing for your position.

On the flip side, if you find that their arguments are solid and based on facts, you might be convinced to change your wrong views.

I don’t see how being a public figure should any difference to what I stated. Besides appeasing the crowd, I suppose, which isn’t a good reason to do anything.

No, you’re a normal person.

The internet politics have just turned to rabid purity testing, where even reading what the opposition (of any issue) says is considered endorsement and betrayal.

A sane person will look abnormal in an insane asylum. And I don’t know how to better describe Twitter than an insane asylum.

But let’s just go even further. He was on the podcast of Shawn Stevenson. The first podcast episode I found of Shawn Stevenson regarding COVID cites in the episode transcript, among others, Geert Vanden Bossche, who advised stopping all mass-immunizations for COVID and has written all kinds of crazy, grammatically-and-factually erroneous content on COVID.

I don’t care about Zach Levi whatsoever, but this has to be the biggest reach I’ve seen.

So he was on a podcast, of which the host, in a different episode that did not include him, cited a person who has at some point advised stopping mass-immunizations for COVID (from what you said, I interpreted thats not the statement he cited).

When you’re 3 levels of guilt by association deep, it seems like you’re just grasping at straws to support your position.
