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and Vulkan, But even Unreal 5 can export to WebASM and do it fairly well (as well as OpenGL can perform, that poor outdated thing).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.


It’s ‘expensive’ in the same way replacing any part is expensive. Most VCU’s come in at less than 1% the purchase price of the car. Compare that to any major part of a ICE vehicle and you’d be saving money.
Plus the majority of the expected repair and maintenance cost from EVs are tires every 30k km, brakes every 30k km or so, and a battery every 300k km. While suspension will run out eventually these parts are generally swappable with most producers, BYD uses the same suspension and steering parts as 70% of EV producers.
Also Europe wouldn’t have massive shortages if they didn’t, you know, sanction and heavily tariff Chinese EV parts to protect domestic ICE production while refusing to build factories for EV vehicles at any useful rate. Norway doesn’t have issues with their Chinese EVs, and they get close to 70% of the range due to the cold.


Depends on the producer really. Pretty much all the Chinese (and imitations of the Chinese) EVs have cheap parts always available. It is of course proprietary software and firmware though, but generally that’s just a ‘replace the whole VCU’ situation if anything there fucks up.


Counter-point: Cubeless and platforms like it are close enough to a browser and handle that. Also by the very loose definition of secure encryption, https.


Most software can effectively run in a browser at this point, and the bit that can’t can be self hosted on a server and then cast to your browser.


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.


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.

Serious question, do you have autism?

If you don’t understand direct on topic comparisons just say so.
If there’s a story about how Hamburgers are an unpopular food that fails to satisfy hunger because McDonalds is failing, one would be correct in providing a summary of that story with the additional information that Burger King sales have increased in order to show the premise of the story is incorrect or incomplete.
I know for a fact you lower class of the Amerisraeli empire learn this within the first few years of your education, in between pledges of allegiance and Israeli-written alternative history facts.

…Yes, I provided an alternative summary. Very good. I’m glad you recognized that I did that and explained it for the class, little one.
I don’t know why you people (violently pejorative) get so angry when people don’t mindlessly reply in the exact same way that you do, but it is something you need to get over.
You’re not on reddit anymore. American Neoliberalism isn’t welcome here, and soon will not be welcome anywhere on the planet after your Regime leader’s actions over the last few years. You need to get over your programming sooner, rather than later.

Reminding people that this method DOES IN FACT WORK, when the article heavily suggests it is the method, not the people performing the method, that is the problem seems valuable to me.
There is nothing wrong with the science behind the Great Green Wall. As empirically proven in the other massive de-desertification project that is on a similar scale.
The problem is, very specifically, capitalism and its systemic failures.

alt tl;dr: unlike china’s very similar plan that is working, nearly all the funding was wasted on executive salaries and none was saved for the necessary follow up, and the idea was worse off from the start as they did not actually do any ecosystem research on what native plants would thrive.

Green Capitalism fails once again to be either green or capitalism but gave various companies, governments, and capitalist entities good PR for a while.
So does self-flagellation, but we don’t provide default whips in the Kernel.
