#techpioneers — Public Fediverse posts

Ah, the classic tale of someone who longs for the good ol' days of #UNIX tinkering 🤓. Who needs "free and easy" when you can pay $4/month to feel like a real tech pioneer in 2026? 🚀 Because nothing says progress like paying for the privilege of #DIY web #nostalgia. 🙄

#FareedZakaria: "When I got to #America (from #India) I was delighted to see that most businessman went about their work with little care with who was in the White House. But now I watch #TechPioneers give interviews slavishly extolling Donald #Trump's genius, and #WallStreetTitans race to post #NorthKorea style congratulations to the president, for his brilliance in rescuing the economy from his own actions.
And I wonder, what country am I living in?"
