  I did 100 or so Win95 (incl OSR2) installs and never ran into that.

  You can also not whine when people mention it. FYI.

  Also, if they said “googles” or “ddgs” I doubt you would have complained. They don’t use either of those presumably.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The 512KB Club is a collection of performance-focused web pages from across the Internet. To qualify your website must both be actually useful and under 512KB in size.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think anyone is arguing that having, like, websites are useful. But if they’re not particularly interesting then it doesn’t really fit here.

  The point of something like this is generally to come up with the most interesting/creative thing within arbitrary resource limits.

  $1000 is too much for a phone.

  I found it a couple of months ago without hearing about it before. I was in an ideal place for a Google Photos replacement.
