    I'm a little perplexed by this. The "simulator" does not match an actual Windows 98 machine, and is lacking in a lot of the aesthetics. I get the idea, but I have to ask - was this vibe coded? Kind of goes against the website's general aesthetic and ethos.

      It's pretty good imho. The obvious thing they tend to get wrong is the fonts and the way they're rendered.

    I'm so incredibly tired of the monospace glowy-text black-background cursor-trail breathless emdash prompt-repeating nonsense text Claude artifacts getting posted here. Not a single paragraph here reads as human-written English.

      I agree. I’m not impressed by this at all, and then there are some weird AI generated comments by new account accounts on this thread, too, which I don’t understand.

        When you have showdead on (as I’m assuming you do), there are weird AI-generated comments by new accounts on every front-page thread, so I wouldn’t ascribe too much significance to that part.
