  • The past few months to a year or so we’ve seen a total restructure of the internet. Reddit, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube have been actively scaring away their user bases.

    It’s resulting in a split and divided internet. Like the days of old. Fediverse ActivityPub integration is the only thing that can undo that and revive these all-in-one style communications platforms.

    I’m curious to see if it will be better or worse.












  • Well, actually it can be. It just takes a lot more to decompile code than compile it. Depending on the objective accuracy.

    Example: the Super Mario 64 Decompilation project. This was a project that used various debug data that was left in the rom to decompile the game back to a source code that compiled a byte accurate version of the rom. This took about 3 years and a lot of skilled developers to accomplish.

    Side note: Super Mario Bros wasn’t built using a compiled language, but rather Assembly. So technically that would be a Disassembly not a Decompilation.
