@s8n@AWIVR@coolboymew@smug the Yandex leak was hilarious, the only thing that was scary about it was the racial slurs in the code and everyone on 4chan said "wow Ivan is literally me"

µPD7220 EnthusiastThe early 286 and 386 pc98s released from 1987-89 and sold some time after (mine was made in late 1990) had a unique feature: a v30 and 286/386 cpu. Turning the machine off and moving switch sw3-8 allows you to choose which cpu you want to start the machine with. Instead of turbo mode here's a full on different cpu, and both share the same io devices. However you can see the 640k of base ram on the motherboard and the extra ram on the cpu board with the 386. Both the graphics chips and io chips are on the mainboard.
Everything on here is basically "hoarded" knowledge that was being held by arcade sceners trying to make money off of it in some way, shape, or form with regards to piracy.
There was a scandal a while back where a collector who was trying to get into the biz removed Akai Katana and DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou from MAME because he had the arcade rerelease rights...and it's funny because the former was in MAME for a year or so before. Half his anger was from it being playable for everyone, half was arcades in poor countries were converting CV1000 PCBs to DDP SDOJ (and the original ROM got released because said arcades were flashing the shitty romhack the group who had it made as a teaser first to PCBs and to avoid that from causing issues).
Akai Katana is now on Steam BTW and the composer was literally the same one who did many PC-98 VNs along with more games and it was unfortunately the last game he worked on before he died :(

µPD7220 EnthusiastI usually don't effortpost on here but I might as well post why I quit taking YouTube as seriously. YouTube is not only rigged for the top dogs and ecelebs, to the point where it's nearly impossible to get noticed anymore unless you somehow fluke into getting one video from 5-10 years ago boosted by "the algorithm", but they also manipulate search results.
Try to find Alex Jones memes (that were clearly mocking his show or using his rants as sample material) and you'll see "approved" media sources giving you their opinion about how because he called something wrong he must be sued into oblivion and his life ruined until he is killing himself and his kids are brainwashed. Which is a shame because comedy gold like vid related got buried by the humorless Google employees who want you to live in a world where the only user generated content are fake as shit restoration videos from Vietnam, clickbait, and unfunny "wow zoom face" douchetubers with soyface thumbnails, or worse TikTok in general. Or where the only approved emotion is Twitter ragebait until you're popping pills to stay happy.
The problem is, you simply cannot expect to even get noticed on YouTube anymore as long as you're not making whatever Susan Wojack and advertisers want you to make. Search results and your related section are rigged to shit, and I mean if you saw the Twitter file stuff (which was badly released btw), you likely know this is 100% on YouTube as well. Actually no, they say the quiet part out loud all the time.
Old YouTube is dead, the funny videos are dead, and it's all now just a place for finding music and long ass "video essays" that sound like Patrick Bateman himself wrote them.
The only reason more people aren't talking about Linux at this point is normies don't know about it, and nerds online just don't give a shit and declare defeat because they couldn't get their 80 year old mom on it.
@mint the other thing relating to that is I'm both getting a risc-v sbc in the mail soon, and I might buy some cheap sbc so I can use DreamPi because whoever wrote it didn't even write an x86 version and I don't know if I want to use a Chromebook for a few online games when I do that.
I'd argue the reason archiving is seen as bad to social media addicts is also because to quote someone else, the internet (and culture as a result of forced change) has changed decades in the span of a few years. I mean look how pronouns went from being in Tumblr bios and laughed at to in your parents work e-mail. I mean 10 years ago this would be a skit satirizing hipsters by some YouTube channel, in fact I saw a CollegeHumor skit with the same exact premise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBRtucXGeNQ
Furthermore if you criticize the orthodoxy you are prone to being marked to have your life/career ruined by Twitter users. To make matters worse, plenty of NPCs have no real core values other than "what will make me get ahead in life/online". So some people will do this to try to whitewash their internet past for a new crowd or to avoid being fired.
Of course this also leads to hilarious situations. Let's look at one community I have knowledge with; the furry fandom. Zoomer furries will call you a zoophile in the same way Twitter addicts will call you a pedophile for liking anything anime if you like quadruped characters. Also not even 10 years ago, the biggest cartoon and online fandom was about literally just that (My Little Pony), and don't get me started on the Pokemon fandom and eeveeloutions.
So someone I know would go on the profiles of people who would bitch about it and tried to whitewash their profiles of it, find favorites on art sites of MLP or Pokemon porn, and share them to their friends with burner accounts and watch drama unfold. This sounds crazy, but furries will crusade over why people should be canceled for everything and then end up having "cancel" worthy shit in their history, and then give into the temptation of saying something instead of learning to shut up.
