Latest ExplainingComputers video concerns OS age verification legislation. I couldn't finish, too sad.

Chris is like a 1980s BBC Micro or Usbourne computer book come to life. He reminds me of a time when computers were exciting, comforting, social, required some programming knowledge and understanding of the hardware. The wide area network was paper magazines, you typed in the program, it didn't work, maybe you figured out why.

I don't want to see him grappling with the latest force fed shit sandwich. Poor Chris, poor Stanley the Knife, poor everyone.

Speaking of which, when I think of the Usbourne computer books, and then where general purpose computing is now… 😩
