Sure, let's go back to code pages when encoding text. They were a much better solution than "politics of corporations".

RE: Foot shooting
@levicki said in Foot shooting:
I remember the world 30 years ago -- it wasn't this bad so for the sake of my own sanity I'd prefer to believe that's only a temporary fluke. If that's the reason to say I am stupid so be it. At least I am an optimist.
@levicki said in DEAR FIREFOX:
Dude I wrote Z80 assembler in 1982 when neither Windows let alone Visual Studio were around to tell me how to do it, and I did just fine.
We had those things called books, which contained instruction set manuals, hardware schematics, chipset register layout, and we read those. We studied those books hard to find out how to squeeze the computer to the very last byte, the very last CPU clock. It was amazing what you could fit in 16K of RAM, let alone 48K, and later 512K with Amiga.
Everything we have today is an utter, wasteful, barely cobbled together, donkey shite and Microsoft and IBM are the ones to blame because every alternative to them was better thought out be it Atari, Amiga or dozens of other systems available at the time, all of them gone because of Microsoft and IBM playing all kind of dirty games to sell their shoddy hardware and software engineering.
So with great indignance I shit on your lousy future where large corporations are telling you what to think (and now also how to write code), and I proudly declare that I have a mind of my own. Maybe it's faulty by your millennial standards, but at least its mine and it doesn't need your overlords' permission to disagree with this enforced mediocrity.

A car driving exactly where it needs to go with four passengers
No. This just doesn't exist. Perhaps you should get your head out of your tushy and look at the number of passengers in a stream of cars during rush hour in a major(-ish) city.
