No quantum mechanics. Things have concrete properties even when no one's watching, and they can all be observed at the same time. The universe is complex but understandable.

Also, P=NP and π is 3.33 repeating, just for the lols.

How is "being bad" decided?

If it's decided internally ("bad" is what you believe is bad), then all the objectivists get a free pass for being assholes. Hitler is a supermodel, etc.

If it's decided externally (there's an universal definition of "bad"), how far into the future does it propagate? If I rescue from drowning someone who will genocide all the Dutch in the future, when do I go bald?

That said, beauty pageants would be much funnier, with trolley problems instead of talent competitions.

Spacewar! was a F2P PvP game with no microtransactions and no battle pass. Although it's hard to quantify exact player numbers (it precedes Steam charts), for a while it was the most played videogame in the world.

Its real-time graphics and multiplayer combat were very influential, and widely copied by many other games.

That sounds very interesting, do you remember the name or the author?

If you're referring to the US' Video Privacy Protection Act, it was passed only because it slightly embarrassed a Supreme Court nominee.

So for there to be half-decent online privacy laws in the US, first someone will have to leak Clarence Thomas' Pornhub search history or something like that.

The TV UI is horrible and has negative development: Less features and more bugs every release.

Do you want to go to a video's channel? Well, that depends on where you are:

  • Go to Home.

  • Long-press on a video.

  • Press "Go to channel".

  • Go to Subscriptions.

  • Long-press on a video.

  • Fewer options because fuck you.

  • Start the video, press down, up, right, select.

  • Oh, it was a short video? You fell into the trap! Down goes to another video. Go back, select the video again, press right, right, select.

And that's just one example.
