  • It really is. WebASM is miles beyond what you’re probably thinking of in terms of browser based performance, and most companies these days do not have local applications installed for their office workers. Office 365 is by far the most popular version of office, and it’s entirely browser based. Most in-house corporate IT work from the last decade is electron wrappers of internal company websites acting as simple interfaces for actual heavy lifting.

    While there’s definitely some apps that are a bit too heavy for WebASM (or just javascript/.net for the above examples) this list is vanishingly short these days. I’d say blender and other 3d rendering would be inefficient just because WebASM has weird interactions with anything other than OpenGL and Vulkan, But even Unreal 5 can export to WebASM and do it fairly well (as well as OpenGL can perform, that poor outdated thing).

    Heck just go to itch.io or any website that has ported over games to WebGL/WebASM. You can run Half-life directly on your browser these days. Half Life of all games. That’s more demanding than anything not 3d that you’d run in an office.




  • Most likely your software will work via bottles or wine. If you have a desktop PC from the last decade and it cost more than $1k, you can also run a VM (or Winboat) specifically for your software with nearly 1:1 performance to bare metal (if you get the passthrough right.)

    Which isn’t a permanent solution, mind you, but if it’s just one piece of software holding you back and you don’t care to play with alternatives, then the solution isn’t to keep Windows despite its terrible performance in 99% of things, it’s to switch to windows and emulate or compatibility layer the 1% of software you might use that requires windows.


  • Owners will eventually be hurt; they care about profit and profit alone. Any superfluous costs will eat into the profit. This method would generate extra work - costing money, which would fail to resolve the issue repeatedly - costing money, until finally a replacement is ordered - costing money, then the maintenance guy has to ignore whatever other task and install the new furniture - costing money.

    If only 10% of hotel guests did this at just half the rooms they stayed in over a year we’d collapse the global tourism economy and permanently shut down most hotels across the world.





  • You would have to be literally insane to think the US, literally the personification of the western world representing all of the values, and frankly all of the power, of all European-founded nations that have existed for the last four millennia, is on the same side as Russia – who to be clear wants to be on the same side as Europe and the US but was roundly rejected after the fall of the USSR because of literal racism despite doing every single tiny thing every single western nation asked, much to their own damage; much less China who has been ostracized and victimized by the US and EU for longer than practically any other group.

    The US and EU have been the axis of evil in the world. The EU has killed more civilians than Nazi Germany with its wars and previous and continued occupation of ‘free’ nations (that cannot go against their owners’ orders without a military coup); and of course the US was the blue print for the nazis, quite famously even, and has killed so many more people around the world no intelligent person could possibly ever confuse them with ‘good,’ even in opposition to some mythologized evil.

    It is the US and EU vs the entire world, as it has been since 1945 when battle lines were drawn that if you were not in central Europe or North America, you were either an enemy or a victim.

    The EU can try to weasel their way out of the sinking ship now that the US is just open about everything they’re doing – and that is the only difference MAGA made, by the way, just that the US is too incompetent or uncaring to hide their atrocities – but ultimately there is too much blood staining the hands of every EU citizen to ever be allies with anyone but the US.

    At best they weaken themselves and make themself an enemy or a victim to the US, only one or the other exists to the US without the Eurosphere, and at worst they’ll be speaking Russian and dealing with unregulated capitalism by the end of the decade unless they start letting fly the nukes.

    China wants a ‘1st world nation’ QOL without exploitation for every citizen, and prioritizes that. Russia wants to enrich its upper class as much as possible, and doesn’t care if they step on EU toes to do so anymore since they WERE NOT REWARDED FOR DOING EVERYTHING THE WEST ASKED in the 1990s, and the US is the exact same as it has always been, except they ran out of victims in the Americas and aren’t being polite about their genocides anymore.

    Pick your poison EU.


  • Except that’s not freedom.

    It is not freedom to have a, and this really isn’t an exaggeration, more than 10,000x personal cost for transportation. It’s freedom for the rich, but the rich aren’t a part of society and cannot be generalized into society.

    It is not freedom to have to personally rely on the US to do the right thing.

    It is not freedom to take on the massive legal and financial risk that is driving a death machine.

    It is only freedom in the most infantile, ‘Anarkiddie’ sense of the word freedom. The ‘Hurr durr we’d all be more free if we had less laws’ kind of idiocracy most humans abandon by the age of 15 when they learn about the concept of government.



  • If I say ‘death to nazi germany,’ it’s pretty clear to people with a functional pre-frontal cortext that I mean that the regime should no longer exist, the state in its current form shouldn’t exist, and anyone wanting to enforce such a harmful ideology likely shouldn’t exist.

    Israel, a state younger than the invention of computer programming; a state which was born from terrorism and genocide and just never stopped; a state whose history has not seen a single day of peace, nor been the victim in a single conflict it has been involved in; should not be protected nor praised – its ideology is hate, Zionism is a direct copy of nazi ideology, down to its finest point of taking unrelated esoteric religious practices to justify its monsterous behavior, the only noticeable difference being the poorly defined ‘German’ scratched out hastily and a even more poorly defined ‘Jew’ written in its place like a slur.

    There is no overexaggeration of any crimes you have ever heard performed in the name of zionism; there is no actual known limit to their depravity. If you can imagine something awful, the IDF have not only done it, they’ve done it on camera then made a Tiktok dancing in their victim’s clothing afterwards.

    The entire society is rotted, and has been since its birth, which again was closer in time to us than the invention of the Jet airplane.

    Death to Israel is the only possible moral stance.
