max-throat··on Internet Archive: Security breach alert
This is why BitTorrent and other P2P solutions were invented, but alas: A. The RIAA, MPAA, and ESA have given these technologies a terrible reputation. B. Nobody likes to seed. Some kind of seeding-based crypto would have been a great incentive if cryptocurrency wasn't also demonized by now.

I remember installing Snapchat one and immediately realizing how awful it was. Different corners had different functions. It needs to be illegal

max-throat··on The "Cheap" Web

I don't have the expertise to write this, unfortunately.

max-throat··on Apple loses one of the last remaining designers from Jony Ive era
I really do hate how it's just assumed we know what's clickable and what isn't.
max-throat··on Why is the Amiga so beloved in the demoscene? (2023 essay)
I've always wondered something, are Dpaint's pixels supposed to be character sized? I know that pixels aren't always necessarily square, but Dpaint seems to exaggerate that a lot.
