  1. A quotation from Richard Steele

    The prevailing humour of crying up authors that have writ in the days of our forefathers, and of passing slightly over the merit of our contemporaries, is a grievance that men of a free and unprejudiced thought have complained of through all ages in their writings.

    Richard Steele (1672-1729) Anglo-Irish writer, journalist, playwright, politician
    Essay (1713-04-09), The Guardian, No. 25

  3. Ministry Proposes Tax on Nostalgia Posts to Save the Environment

    The Ministry has proposed a Nostalgia Tax on every "Only 90s kids will understand..." post. The revenue will help data centers survive the endless storage of recycled memories while an official investigation examines whether the good old days were actually good—or just remembered that way.

  4. @EdTheDev it's enough to make me yearn for the of Debian Woody, back when dist-upgrade would fuck your shit up good and proper.

  5. In reading Bob Scheiffer's autobiography, he said something any working #journalist will understand.

    Sometimes while on assignment chasing a story - such as I did for years at AirVenture - you get breaks only when they come, which can be hours apart.

    He said, if you "See food...eat it. If you see a bathroom...use it. If you see a bench or chair...sit on it.

    By the end of #Airventure week, I never passed a bench without using it for a quick break.

  7. Hi #fedi, I am looking for the silly, AI-free, algorithm-free #internet.

    I miss the internet of the 90s and early 2000s.

    Realised I am visiting the same websites, which feels such a confinement, given the vast expanse of human creativity that inhabits the online world.

    I am all for #serendipity, #blogs, weird facts, even silly games.

    Do you have any recommendations?

  10. Ah, the "good ol' days" of #coding when projects were green and fields were greener. 🌿 Now, in the age of #AI, it's all sad trombones 🎺 and existential dread—because apparently coding apps for others isn't fulfilling enough. 👍 Keep vibing in your melancholy corner, dear coder, while the rest of us embrace our robot overlords. 🤖
