I saw this on a Finnish post, so let me reformulate it a bit and post it in English.

Finnish universities 1996:

"Here's an operating system we created for you. Here's a chat network we created you can use with the operating system."

Finnish universities 2026:

"We don't know how to replace Facebook for public communications."

Learned helplessness.

weil wir heute bei einer Reparatur das Problem hatten ....
Windows sichert ja die Daten auf den Festplatten aktueller Computer mit Bitlocker. Das ist eine ganz gute Verschlüsselungsmethode, die sehr unauffällig arbeitet. Man bemerkt sie meist erst, wenn der PC kaputt wird und man an die Daten ran muss. Dann verlangt Win einen Wiederherstellungsschlüssel und wenn man den nicht hat wirds mühsam.

NØ School E-Waste Fidget Workshop / with @dasha & @recyclism

In this workshop, participants are creating their own fidget toys using discarded electronic parts—switches, wheels, bearings, and other components salvaged from old printers, video players, and similar devices. All materials are collected at a local e-waste recycling point or supplied by participants.

@aparrish Every single time I hear the sentiment "like it or not, ______ is here to stay", I like to take a moment to reflect on the overwhelming majority of "things we were told would be permanent" that now, *shockingly*, no longer exist.😮🫢🤗🙄

One of the hot technologies preceding one of the several “AI Winters” we’ve seen since software was even a thing was called Expert Systems. And they were hot for well over a decade!

…but as the hype started cooling and people looked at the cost/benefit analysis and the real capabilities of such a system in the long term, the whole house of cards came crashing down. Below is the summary the Wikipedia page gives on why they failed. Look familiar?

Celebrating the Life of Aaron Swartz:
Aaron Swartz Day 2024

Aaron Swartz was a digital rights champion who believed deeply in keeping the internet open. His life was cut short in 2013, after federal prosecutors charged him under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) for systematically downloading academic journal articles from the online database JSTOR.

@LinHead @D64eV Ich musste bei "langfristig" im Titel leider schon aufhören zu lesen... 50%-Minister für ein paar Monate wird wohl nicht viel langfristiges bewirken können, oder habe ich die Ironie nicht verstanden?
Gosh, if only someone warned them that this would happen.
