The article doesn’t really explain why except “maybe someone would like it” but I think the real answer was CGA. CGA was a predecessor color technology to VGA with a different 8 bit color space. So if you took a color scheme for CGA and rendered it on VGA you’d end up with a really garish scene.
When I was a kid I had a DOS game that I played the hell out of. I ended up ruining the disk, and stupidly didn’t have a backup, but the box included a CGA version of the game. It played just fine on my computer except that the colors were trippy on my VGA monitor.

FWIW this isn’t any more absurd than the original weapons of mass destruction.
For the young ones: Bush wanted us to believe that Saddam was trying to get nuclear weapons. The only problem is: he wasn’t. But Saddam had used chemical weapons during the Iran/Iraq war. So Bush decided to equate chemical and nuclear weapons. And thus the “weapons of mass destruction” were born. What is a weapon of mass destruction? Anything Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld wants it to be!


Carney seems incredibly driven to implement the Starmer plan, which has gone just great in the UK. WTF is wrong with the commonwealth left?
Came here to make the same comment.

There’s been a big push by a group called American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators to ban Kei trucks in the USA. Many states DMVs, who are lobbied by this organization, have been choosing administratively to retroactively revoke people’s registrations for these vehicles.


I got downvoted to hell every time I pointed out he’s a globalist banker. I even had someone condescendly “explain” that he’s a central banker which is somehow better

for some reason
The linguistics research that Chomsky and Marvin Minsky were doing was the AI craze of their day. The place they were working was called the “MIT AI Lab”. It was funded by the department of defense. Not hard to wonder why an Israeli agent would be interested in their work.

I remember being really excited about Bill Foster winning originally. I thought having a scientist in government would be a big win. Turns out scientists can also be tools.

“Somehow we have to course-correct on this ‘murdering helpless people is wrong’ message now that we’re doing the murdering.”

He should be buried in a grave with a tombstone reading “this is not a place of honor.”


I graduated in 2006. When I was in school the idea was that there wouldn’t be any programmers left in the USA because it would all be offshore. But by the time I graduated it was fairly easy to find work. There was a slowdown in 2008 but tech did better than most other fields. This is where the idea comes from that tech will come back, I think. Tech is cyclical but it’s not on the same cycle as other business, or hasn’t been.
The whole AI thing is fake. What’s really going on is another massive offshoring attempt. Everyone I know who’s lost a job lost it to offshoring not AI. This is basically 2001 all over again. So the idea is that offshoring will not work out again and the jobs will come back. Is it true or is this time different? I’m not entirely sure.

I thought I couldn’t hate Tony Blair anymore than I already did. 🤷

If we don’t hear about it tomorrow and the news cycle quickly moves on it means he was a right winger.
Just like the right winger who murdered three cops in Pennsylvania last week.
Or the Trump assassin…

Want to be clear: the type of “business” he would have with a pimp who’s running an underage sex blackmail operation is not good.

Theil might have been there for business…
Europeans can’t even organize an embargo

Sounds like they describe the incident accurately for once, although I would point out that this is just one sub-incident of a wider campaign of “blue terror” being waged by Trump’s brownshirts against the American people.
