Well if you allowed one more year, I really feel that stopping the Columbine shooting would have an exponential improvement on the quality of the timeline.

Yeah, you could probably make a linux distro that uses nuget for packaging… Hadn’t really thought about it but it should be doable.

Maybe spend some time investigating how to make nuget packages and then move onto deb or rpm. That way you’ll have a better idea of the problems that you’ll face in making your own. Personally whenever I feel the need for some kind of package manager, nuget is flexible enough that I can repurpose it to almost anything.

Great book

Well it used to be that rich people preferred to have porcelain white skin, because the poor had to be outside to work. Then the poor started working indoors, so now the rich prefer to be tanned.

Art tastes will change similarly. Art with obvious imperfections will be considered better. Actual paintings with large obvious, textured brush strokes. Books and poems printed on rough hand made paper. Maybe even hand lettered. Things that were obviously done by a skilled craftsman, but would be difficult to do with machines and Ai.

Think the neovictorians from Neal Stephensons The Diamond Age.

That was well thought out. Thanks for sharing

Thanks

What about scams you’re born into, but stayed in waaaay to long? If so Mormonism and the Republican party.

Tigtone. It’s so weird and disturbing to watch,yet hilarious. Perfect

Yeah, I’ve got a lot of sisters.

One time I was out walking someplace and a woman was walking about 20 feet in front of me. I just took out my phone and called my wife and rather loudly announced where I was walking to, asked her about her day etc. The woman visible seemed to relax.

KDE plasma, unless it’s on a tablet, then Gnome

Atlas Shrugged… But not in the way most people would think. I was raised very conservative. Growing up people always talked about how great of an author Ayn Rand was. But when I finally read some of her books, they made me sick. It kind of opened my eyes to how the political beliefs I was given as child clashed with my own personal values.

I was raised Mormon. Finally left in my 40s.

Kind of… It’s really that weird bridge period between the two generations. 1980 seems to be the sweet spot. The further your birth year is from it, in either direction, the less tech savvy they seem to be.

Stem cells? Does he know what party he’s hitched his wagon to?

A few years ago, my wife and I left the Mormon church. That helped a lot. Along that line coffee makes me happy.

Pretty sure they’d take everything you just wrote and say, “that sounds like critical race theory, which Jesus said was bad.”

Shudder. I had this weird brand laptop… Sotec IIRC and there just wasn’t a modline that ever got it all right.

Xserver… Somehow trying to find the magic string of letters and numbers that made your screen work.
