Is the rendering in Cuis really hardware-accelerated? I agree it looks great but think it's all software-rendered using the CPU.

I dunno, tjpnz might be on to something. Would a nice smooth blue leg stepping towards the camera with super exaggerated perspective really be so bad right about now?

I imagine that's a deliberate decision of the overall project to try and get people to evaluate it on its merits, rather than associating it with something old and unfashionable.

Same for the README on a GitHub project. Alas, plenty of those are now just voluminous AI spew.

I am comfortable on Reddit because I understand that it's made up of thousands of sub-communities that vary wildly in how interesting/friendly they are.

I don't understand this desire to ignore that aspect and pompously dismiss Reddit as a whole. It's like dismissing an entire country as worthless because you didn't like the vibe in a couple of the big cities.

It was playable even on an 8 year old iPhone XS. I cleared up the whole wikipedia page and the framerate never got bad enough to hamper the gameplay.

That's amazing. I would have no clue how to write that so that it works so well.

Edit: I guess the main enabler is that it gets out of the business of HTML really quickly, by importing a representation of the page into the game engine. The classic bookmarklet version linked below messes with actual page elements using CSS transformations etc.

If it's anything like the one to set up Siri/Apple-Wallet, click it as if to start the process, then bail out and it goes away.

Just the other day I thought it looked like the friggin official Python homepage is using Courier for the code example

In hindsight, the movement in the early Tomb Raider games was really awkward. It didn't feel very human... it felt like an endless loop of rotating a circular tray then putting your foot on the gas.

Learn from the old master... with a big stinkin' LLM interposed!

Using a home PC without an internet connection in the 90s, I would basically do laps of the entire OS, looking at every app/window/dialog, searching for novel stuff. That's what exploring one of these feels like!

I remember downloading ISOs at like 4-8 KB/s from FTPs. It was an achievement to even get one successfully downloaded and ready to burn.
