Mussolini wasn't an American Democrat, he was an Italian fascist.

Can you actually justify that claim? How are Democrats fascist? A definition broad enough to include American Democrats as fascist will presumably include just about ever major party in every western democracy.

As far as I know, the Xbox One and PS4 started the trend of reading nothing from the disc after install. The disc just acts as instalation media and a physical authenticator.

They set daily read limits that were comically low. Read limits obviously don't help with spam. They do help with scraping but it's again so low, it seems like it would pretty much just disable scraping rather than control it. 600 tweets A DAY?

I kind of wonder if we'll see more interest focused instances continue to be a relatively regular occurances. I could see communities around specific games deciding to make a new home for themselves if for no other reason than everyone gets a new @myfavorite.game handle and you can customize a little more to their tastes. I think it might still lean more heavily towards generalized instances but maybe the main reason to run a new instance will be to be interest focused.

We should be warry of anything big tech embraces. For example, Facebook reportedly uses servers running Linux. For that reason, we should all stop using Linux. Since Facebook has both an ios and an android app, we basically have to stop using our phones. We should shoot ourselves in the foot if there's a chance we might get to bleed on them /s

I'm relatively with you there. PS5, Xbox Series, and Switch are the current modern consoles. When I was 12, we got a gamecube while it was current gen, and considered N64 to be somewhat retro already, but SNES was firmly retro- or 2 Gens back. I think it's reasonable to not think PS3 and 360 are retro, but older than that surely is. PS3 and 360 games don't lag behind modern games by the same leaps and bounds SNES to GameCube did. But PS2, Xbox, and GameCube are all still in the pre-HD Era. For that reason I'd make the rather radical suggestion that Wii might be considered retro already, since it remained an SD console while it's contemporaries were HD.

Do flip phones solve that? It's just as big when open, the flip part is just so it fits nicer in your pocket.

It wasn't like a windows phone, but both times it was underpowered and glitchy. But it did run android.
