during breakfast my sister tried to convince me that turing completeness was a mistake

she said she thinks it's bad that she can get a computer that does everything. she should have one device that does discord, and if she wants to play tetris? that's another separate device

when I pointed out that the reason why you're able to get a tetris handheld is because the tetris company is able to buy an off-the-shelf CPU to power it, she said that Alexey Pajitnov seems like a smart guy, she's sure he can whip them up something

@foone I would argue that turing-complete webpages were a mistake.

I feel like we'd have a better Internet if there was no JS, and the handful of really useful things it does like ajax were discrete html built-ins.

@renardboy @foone you can thank known homophobe, former Firefox CEO and current Brave CEO Brendan Eich for that
