I hope somebody fixes that. Would be an interesting pledge to run with for governor/president.

How? Why? By first saving it as a fixed-palette GIF?
Popular myth but untrue.
The ROM is exactly 40 kiB or 40 960 bytes. The NES outputs video at a resolution of 256×240=61 440 pixels. The game never switches palettes mid-frame and thus the highest possible number of colors (of the 64 available ones, of which 55 are distinct) in any screenshot is: 4 sprite palettes × 3 non-transparent colors per palette = 12 colors among all sprites; plus 4 background palettes × 3 selectable colors per palette + 1 selectable color shared between all palettes = 13 colors in the background; or 25 colors in total.
Even one of the most basic lossless image formats, GIF, can use an n-bit palette of 2ⁿ−1 arbitrary colors plus transparent, where 1≤n≤8. For n=5, we can store up to 31 colors at 5 bits per pixel, or 307 200 bits total, which is 38 400 bytes. The palette entries, size etc. will take about 200 bytes at most, and LZW compression built into the format (or even better, whatever PNG uses) can be used to reduce the file size further (significanly because there are huge areas filled with solid color or patterns).
I’d bet it’s possible to make an NES ROM that does nothing but fill the screen with noise-like tiles and switches the colors mid-frame, likely in just 8 kiB of video ROM plus 2 kiB of program ROM, whose screenshots will never compress to below 10 kiB in PNG format, though.
I knew patch files were small (often smaller than their metadata) but I wouldn’t have guessed they were THAT small. I think we’ll see somebody running a spinoff soon, as well as domain squatters offering malware-ridden copies of Lunar Magic (the patching tool).
There’s R, too, and J. In fact, every letter has a more-or-less known programming language. Storage was expensive back then!
If they can’t respect a recipient’s consent, they deserve it being a little harder to deliver to people using that mail server.
Banning something Chinese is easier to wrap in the “national security” narrative even if that’s not the real reason.
But then the profits stay in America.
If they really cared about safety, they would mandate open or at least independently audited source code.
I am talking about the cdwifi.cz captive portal with its 30-second video ad. I cannot just disable large media because then the “Continue” button never gets enabled.
Is there a way to capture these pages and report them to uBlock filter authors once online? I’d like to add a filter (or better, userscript that just enables and “clicks” the “continue” button) for my country’s rail company’s Wi-Fi captive portal but the JavaScript is obfuscated or compiled from another language so I have no idea what anything does, and of course the element classes are all randomized.
Incompetent/convicted felon/authoritarian, too, but that word/phrase is too long to go viral because social media addicts stop listening halfway through.
I know but human skulls have foreheads.
The official logo is realistic and it still works as a Jolly Roger. Even better, arguably.
How did they fail at drawing a casette… in the age of casettes?

It’s not just digits. Nobody is expecting it to understand language yet but the parser is-number
still returns true
for "2e3"
or "0x0F"
. It tells you whether the string can be interpreted as a real numeric value.
I’m glad I’ve overwritten all my comments.

Don’t forget to make the script prepare a backup file and download it once complete. In the replacement string, link to your Lemmy account so that anyone looking for the content can just PM you.
