Is there a way to have Pouët globally open links in new tabs instead of replacing itself? I keep losing the Pouët tab after following and X-ing links. =)
Correction: not globally, but for external links.
I was hoping for a solution that does not involve extra thought indirections and button presses.
T-101: Only the external links not pointing to Pouët, but yeah, seems like it requires plugins.

Pretty sure only a modest share of that energy is used on picture/music/video-generating AI.
Forgy: That's not what i said, at all. My point was that the wannabe-artists you so despise likely don't contribute much to overall AI energy consumption.
The implication being that "we just love to pretend being artists" is a bit off the mark regarding the bigger picture.
Forgy: I comprehend. Also rather sure that the average Pouët user, like the average normal person out there, causes more AI energy usage via websearch and AI assistency than generating "art". :)

And why is this a bad thing.
I still don't get why Javascript for microcontrollers would be a bad thing.

leGend: So is Python, and yet it's quite popular for top-level scripting of high-performance computing.
Forgy: A basic JS interpreter isn't very big and quite comparable to... a BASIC interpreter.
