Here's a nickel kid. Go buy yourself a real computer.
How much RAM would a nickel buy me?
based on the tracked average of $12.65/gb from rampricesusa you could get about 4mb of ddr5
Good thing I'm not running games on my 4gb Pentium 4 then.
Your code running on other people’s hardware is a privilege. Treat it with respect.
You can also like not run the Gameboy emulator
No it’s not. It’s just not. If someone doesn’t like what I wrote they can hack it, ignore it, or vibe code up an alternative for their Xerox Alto for all I care.

Privilege has nothing to do with it, nor does respect. Wtf.
