This isn't a Trump thing. The "Main Stream Media" rhetoric really started with the teaparty stuff, powered by the internet, and championed both the right (tea party in america, faragists in the UK) and left (corbynistas in th

At various points and machines I had a Voodoo 2 (with the VGA handbag from a 2d card), a Voodoo banshee, and a Voodoo 3. The latter two were 2d+3d in one and well before any real competition.

Which is just what I said. Everyone uses computers, so computer nerds are like car nerds or sport nerds. In the 90s very few people used computers, and even fewer used networked computers outside of an office environment. Computers were new

It's not a moral victory, it is a pragmatic one. If it was 98% chrome and 2% firefox that's basically 100% chrome. Instead safari on ios (and to a lesser extent desktop) means the web isn't 100% chrome (or chrome skins like b
