When you have the concrete facts about how the hardware works laid out in front of you, there's not much more to discuss. Which means the actual discussions will be about all the other things that don't really matter.

And people programming in high-level languages often don't know how computers, or the programs they've written, work. That's often enough to make things work. But it doesn't sound good when they start to talk about computers.

It's easier to program in high-level languages and it's easier to argue about non-definable questions. Which means there's more info and opinions online that aren't valid than are. Which feels weird, wasn't programming supposed to be for the smart ones? Sometimes it feels like it has become the opposite.

There's misinformation about all subjects, but I would argue that the culture of programming online is an extreme case, and is what leads to the unreasonably inefficient software we have today that drains Earth's energy faster than needed.

I can't promise I will change this, but I want to try to be a better example myself with https://kbz.se, and hopefully influence the culture to make others want to be a better example too. It's not impossible, and it's not even hard to do the opposite of what the majority does. You just have to care about being good.

My current answer to 3 points above are: #1 kbz.se doesn't collect cookies other than save data for the games. (https://kbz.se/cookiepolicy)

#2 I'm planning a way to download the games as single HTML files containing all code and all assets (graphics, music, etc), so you can open it locally in your web browser, without needing the kbz.se server or even an internet connection at all. (EP3 of This Is (NOT!) A Car Club exists in this form so far: https://kbz.se/download)

#3 I try to make each new game more backwards-compatible than the previous one, and I can do this since I'm constantly learning more about how the web platform works. Contrary to other game consoles and computer games, on kbz.se the newer games will probably work _better_ on older hardware/browsers and not the opposite. (just threw together a page for this for consistency https://kbz.se/compatibility)

The game /MANAGO (or "How to bankrupt a management company")/ version 0.89 is out on https://bankrupt.kbz.se ! It's a bit more polished than last time, but still no structure in the story and no testing done.

I have no idea what 0.89 means. I'm not 0.11 away from finishing, that's for sure...

So, the game is still in a rough phase, but it's more polished, looks a bit better and feels a bit better than the previous versions. The difference is subtle, but it's there.

Now time for a month's break. Let's see how true that plan turns out to be.
