We're all supposed to play by the same rules.
> After a splashy launch, Sora’s worldwide user count peaked at around a million and then collapsed to fewer than 500,000. Meanwhile, the app was burning through roughly $1 million every day — not because people loved it but because video generation is so costly to run.

You might also want to evaluate what kind of people are attracted by your image. Your actions have spoken far louder than any accusations I have made here. Hint.
> it's easy to make unfalsifiable "There's probably archives" b.s. claims on HN.
The grapevine literally called them (not my words) "brave shill threads". Companies have been scraping the text based web for decades. Of course there's archives. They may not necessarily be indexed by search engines.
There was a PR campaign ("on their behalf" ? :] ), posting on certain websites in the first year of their launch or so. This was before the fraud in which Brave were taking donations in the name of someone else, without anyones consent. It involved posting things like "Come home, white man" and other dog-whistles on image-boards along with the brave-lion logo imagery on a consistent, regular basis. There's probably archives of these threads and people calling out they were very obviously automated and calculated. Who else at this point would even care to do it for them?
Eich got kicked out of Mozilla for his views not aligning with everyone else, so him weaponizing his own views like that isn't exactly what some would call unexpected. He might also not know the extent of which his PR goons go to promote his stuff, but come on now... the whole image is planned. There's a reason they choose to 'break a few rules' and they want their browser image to be that of a 'strong authoritative male leader' specifically. It appeals to a certain demographic also, wonder why /s
I just think it's super fucking lame and plenty of people smell that shit a mile away. Which explains why plenty of people say "fuck no" without even knowing half of this shit.
> Every PS3 includes a mature software emulator for PS1 titles that runs PS1 discs with near-perfect reliability. [... Then the article repeat the first quote itself ]
I would not deem that overly confident statement to be all that accurate. Several important titles do not run on _any_ PS3 from the PS1 library. None of the original Tomb Raider discs or their variants work despite the first 4 being in the Top 20 best-selling games on that system. And games like Blaster Master Returns have graphical issues that make them difficult if not impossible to play. You can either use community patches to fix your own discs (on a modded system only, of course) or buy the PSN versions as they're hacked to run better on Sony's emulators. But when it comes to actually emulating the original system, running the discs you already own - you might be disappointed...
How do I know? As a FOSS developer myself with a decade plus public history I also happen to know a few people running prominent FOSS projects.
He's burned bridges for no good reason. He doesn't care.
In a lot of ways, this is a major regression as far as security and redundancy is concerned.
There's also the good old saying: Don't build your castle in somebody else's Kingdom. Bot developers definitely learned that recently. I don't have a lot of pity for bot developers though as many are truly, in fact, scraping data and doing other undocumented things with it (Spy Pet wasn't and won't be the only one). All I'm going to say on the matter!

Hint. Hint.
There's been several people in the archive community identifying and pointing them out, digging through large tape collections as well of syndications of it. David however got to go through the original masters recently
If only TechTV had such an archive
