@qdot I was there for the original Eternal September, and unless this new one comes with its own Kibo, Serdar Argic, and Green Card Lottery, I’ll just keep calm and carry on!

It’s been “the year of Linux on the desktop” for me for years, I don’t know why people still joke about it. It’s my primary daily driver at home, day in and day out.

I really like fine mechanical watches, but sometimes you need to rock a truly well respected classic

Before Mastodon, before Twitter, before forums, before AIM and ICQ, before even the Web, there were BBS systems. The FurNet network of BBSes were built on top of FidoNet, and allowed furries all over the United States and Canada to communicate electronically with just a computer and a modem! I was on FVRCVS MAXIMVS myself.

I hate C and I love C. It's absolutely horrible and yet it's really fun in small doses.

I love the Fediverse with all my heart but I swear to God the patchwork of arbitrary and capricious moderation decisions will be the death of it. It pains me to watch a popular account like Da Share Z0ne get moderated so much for something trivial (posting a joke guide to media piracy) that they might just give up and leave altogether.

Imagine a parallel universe where you come from a culture that has never heard of Halloween, you have absolutely no concept of it, and then you see this

@tryst I remember walking past their first office on University Avenue in Palo Alto and saying “Huh, I’ve heard of them, they’re supposed to be doing some new search thing… I’ll have to look them up on AltaVista again!”

@foxhkron US homes are larger, around 2480 square feet or 230 square meters on average, and as a result require much more heating and cooling. Additionally, air conditioning and electric clothes dryers are very common here, I have never lived in a home that didn’t have a clothes dryer. We could build much smaller and more energy efficient homes.

What was it like to be a kid with access to the Internet? I can never know. I didn't get on the Internet until I was 19, and we didn't even have the Web yet, it was just text. I want to know what it was like to be warped by the Internet as a pre-teen!

A lot of people need to hear this apparently: Capalism and Free Markets are not the same thing. Markets existed for many thousands of years before capitalism, and will exist after it. Money and the exchange of goods do not require capitalism.
