my generation, late genX and millennial, found our only home on the internet and it was all good until YOU #boomers came along. now all is full of antivaxxers and useful idiots. you do not want to learn how to spot russian trolls and misinformation, share it regularly. can't google and verify shit. can't speak english. you came one here in genX and millennial spaces and destroyed everything with your arrogance and unwillingness to learn.

“We have devalued the singular human capacity to see things whole in all their psychic, emotional and moral dimensions, and we have replaced this with faith in the powers of technical calculation.”

*SIGH*

@CarveHerName yeah. 0 days since the last #vatnik in my feed. #socialmedia is OVER. we can all pack up our stuff, turn off your computer, thank for all the fish but there is nothing more to see here.

Today marks 5 years since I last went into an office for work.

I left early that day (a Wednesday) because I had some kind of stomach bug and vomited. It was a $50 Lyft ride from Brickell, in Miami to the then BB&T commuter parking lot in far west Sunrise just past Sawgrass Mills.

The office officially closed that Friday, and I retired in September 2021.

For me, time has warped into having no meaning and today is simply March, 1837, 2020.

USENET IS NOT DEAD !!!!! USENET IS STILL FREE FREE FREE!

Usenet is an ever-living, Casper the friendly ghost of discussion networks.

Just a friendly reminder that Usenet still exists and access to text newsgroups is still FREE. Access is provided by volunteer sysops around the world. See links below.

Back in its glory days it seems that just about every academic institution had its own Usenet hierarchy of newsgroups.

Linux was revealed to the world via Usenet.

Open source philosophy gained its steam via Usenet.

Usenet is the original free speech network.

Usenet is the original 'social network'.

@BeAware I haven't had (almost) any such issues with #fediseer, but my primary audience has been #lemmy and the #threadiverse instead of microblogging. There's surprisingly different norms that have been organically reached in mastodon over the past decade which are fairly alien outside it.

It honestly feels more like a small group of people trying to futilely hold back the Eternal September through scolding and pile-ons.

#EternalSeptember

The only reason I am not saying this #January is going on forever, is because #September1993 is still going too.
