You gotta love how aggressively they prevent users from seamlessly running executables from the internet, a VERY legitimate common use case, but a desktop shortcut from the internet? Run away!

Heck, there was even overlap with the internet where you could briefly lookup anyone in any city’s white pages listing online for free! People used to sign their Usenet posts with their full name, phone, and mailing address, though. We were really stupid in hindsight, but it was a more innocent time.
I’d wager your DVD rips are same quality, most stuff from the 90’s touched by computer anything is 480p at the source. VHS, it would be an improvement probably.
Yet more austerity seems like the definition of insanity – trying the same thing over and over, expecting a different result
Starmer is going to single handedly destroy the Labour party. He’s such a typical neolib thief. What exactly is the point of even voting for his Labour over the Tories? Their policy positions and tendency to corruptly profit off power has reached full parity now that Starker has purged every real Labour candidate from Labour.
I’d argue that’s more archeoconservatism, what Trump represents and what has reinvigorated the right is more a regressive progressivism – forging a sort of Dune/Handmaiden’s Tale future that resembles an idealized past but is more a SciFi future reimagining of it, and government has an active role in producing that just as in normal progressive progressivism because you need the government to drive the change.
The idea that actual swing voters, who are largely tuned out of 99% of available information, actually care about specific policies is overstated on all but a tiiiny subset of issues (which trans rights are not one of). Virtually no specific policy actually impacts electoral success on non-base turnout voting on its merits, it’s all campaign organization and media vibes, so I’d argue this is a false choice, largely. Nobody who isn’t already on a side cares about your platform, they care if you’re visibly embarrassed about your own platform (as democrats usually are about the 1% deviation from the GOP free market absolutism they dare in most cycles).

The management culture emphasizes a workflow that’s heavy on low skill junior devs and cheap foreign labor of highly variable quality. You caaaaan do that well with infinite planning and QA and project management and test-driven design, but the reason you’re trying to do it that way to begin with is you’re an under qualified yes-man careerist dipshit trying to come in under budget and time, so you won’t. And these are the wages of low wages.
