A Space Invaders clone, but the player ship is the Dillo browser icon, the invader ships are the Edge, Opera, Brave, Vivaldi, Samsung, and Chromium icons, and the mothership is the Google Chrome icon.

The space the space invaders are invading is your combined memory and storage space.

When we say we need to go back to the old Web, we don't mean back to AJAX hashbang URLs.

I got absolutely filthy doing network installation work at a job site, so I used the gender-affirming one of the facility's gendered public restrooms to wash up. I cut myself as well (IDK how), so I used the same gender-affirming sink to clean it for a band-aid.

No one knew, and the only evidence anyone will find is of someone leaving the restroom at least as clean as she found it. Truly the perfect crime! Nyahahahahaa!

The only common task I can't do in Windows 98SE is browse the modern Web (not even with Retrozilla).

The only common task I can't do in FreeDOS (updated to 1.4 just 3 months ago) is browse the modern Web.

Why do I get the feeling this is a failing of the modern Web?

I DON'T LIKE 'EM PUTTING CHEMICALS IN THE 2ND AMENDMENT THAT TURN THE FRIGGIN' GUNS GAY!

Futility software.

The vendor URLs trying to find anything about this disc led me to:

calm: https://www.cyberlink.com/stat/edms/bb/cms/16/18w23/enu/index_ulm.jsp?BBProductId=30&BBProdVerId=1316&BBnLangId=1&SRTYPE=OEM&DAY_LEFT=0&FIRSTLAUNCHDATE=2019%252F04%252F06&GLOBALEXPID=0&CDKey=&TypeId=4&Patch=0&Ca=Banner_MainPage&RESIZE=1

panic: https://www.cyberlink.com/stat/edms/bb/cms/16/18w23/enu/index_oem.jsp?BBProductId=30&BBProdVerId=986&BBnLangId=1&SRTYPE=OEM&DAY_LEFT=0&FIRSTLAUNCHDATE=2015%252F05%252F13&GLOBALEXPID=0&TypeId=4&Patch=0&Ca=CLUpdater_Upgrade

I let that "panic now, pay later" offer expire, and nothing happened. On reloading the page, it reset to three days but left all the other information, including the supposedly limited-time price, the same.

Also, amusingly not helping their image, each split-flap digit animation in the countdown timer is flipping up, not down like real split-flap displays.

The disc and sleeve have text and a Code 39 barcode reading "SAC35781924". Searching for it on CyberLink's website yields exactly zero results.

For a disc bundled with a hardware purchase last week and delivered today.
