@ebassi I'll start feeling nostalgic when 40 is 15 years ago

@anselmschueler 11 years to go, then

@ebassi oh man who's in charge of the old farts club stickers now
Show threadEmmanuele BassiFeb 14, 2025
@mjg59 I think @ross was going to do a small batch of artisanal, organic, locally sourced Old Farts stickers
Show threadRoss BurtonFeb 14, 2025
@ebassi @mjg59 I was. The problem was that stickermule turned out to be a rabid trumper so if anyone has suggestions for reasonably priced UK sticker printers...
Show threadMr. HmpfFeb 14, 2025
@ross @ebassi @mjg59 I could try to source them in Germany at our friendly leftist sticker producer and carry them to the UK in April.
Show threadRoss BurtonFeb 14, 2025
@phako @ebassi @mjg59 Not a terrible idea. Does your leftist producer deliver as I have a few other runs I wanted to get done?

@ross @ebassi @mjg59 Meh, unfortunately no longer active :(
Show threadRoss BurtonFeb 14, 2025
@ebassi @mjg59 Found someone in the UK. I'll do a run of Old Farts Club and vintage OH :)

@ross @ebassi @mjg59 hmm, I'm 40 in a couple of months, do I get an old farts sticker?
Show threadEmmanuele BassiFeb 15, 2025
@Cwiiis @ross @mjg59 I’d say you count. The original threshold was 30 years old, and was bumped to 40 once a lot of people cleared it…
Show threadRoss BurtonFeb 15, 2025
@ebassi @Cwiiis @mjg59 I was thinking about different colours for 40+ and 50+
Show threadHylke Bons 🥜Feb 15, 2025
@ross @ebassi @Cwiiis @mjg59 how about a cigar box with a burn in stamp on it? and for 50 an actual pipe.

@ebassi @Cwiiis @ross @mjg59 Moving the goalposts I see 👀
Show threadEmmanuele BassiFeb 15, 2025
@pwithnall @Cwiiis @ross @mjg59 only a bunch of twenty-something nerds could think that 30 is the cut-off for being an old fart, to be honest…

@ebassi, I was just saying to a friend yesterday how great Gnome 2 was!

@ebassi if I wanted modern windows I would use modern windows

@ebassi darn GNOME 2 looked beautiful

@ebassi Currently I’m going through a nostalgic period for old UI’s such as GNOME, KDE, Windows Classic, Mac OS platinum.

@ebassi
Ich habe gnome3 von der ersten version an geliebt und es ist noch viel besser geworden. Immer wieder versuche ich andere Desktop aber kehre immer wieder zu gnome zurück.
Show threadGermánFeb 17, 2025
@ebassi 10 years already?? Wow
Even more surprised by seeing how similar it was to how it is today.
Show threadDeadRingrFeb 20, 2025
@ebassi it's crazy how much actually more usable old and gnome was compared to how simplistic and space hogging the new one is
Show threadPablo B.Feb 21, 2025
@ebassi 10 years ago (or more, probably) Gnome was fully useful and productive. Today, I'm an XFCE fanboy... Guess why!

@ebassi it got significantly worse :(
