That one is good too. I think it was the idea we kill less of each other than we used to that gives me some hope.

This video from Kurzgesagt gave me general optimism about the future.

I'm going to have to try it, I stick with 1 and 2 the most. Something about those sprites.

I know how you feel, Lego saw me (and all the other kids of the 80's) coming. Ghostbusters, DeLorean, Optimus... all they needed was a Knight Rider. They need to let up so I can contribute to my retirement fund again.

Thanks for the insight, and appreciate new terms to search. I've somehow never heard of Eternal September even though I was there lol.

Its funny when some work and some don't 🤣

7 the most, but all on occasion... except 2 and 9.

Take a screen shot of the desktop. Set that screen shot as the desktop background and delete some of the icons/shortcuts.

I believe ease of use is the #1 reason people stick to non-federated networks, even the governments.

Email, I send a message directly to a person or a group. This makes the idea of a federated network a little easier to wrap your mind around. I sign up for a Google or Yahoo email service. If I'm a big nerd I set up my own and send/receive email with anyone.

Social networks, I send a message to whoever wants to listen. This is easier to understand on a non-federated network. It also doesn't help we don't have a Google or Yahoo microblog service. There is Mastodon and which Mastodon server do you want? This is why I'm not fundamentally opposed to Threads. I share the general concerns of it taking over and not cooperating with the spirit of federated networks, but if all there is is Mastodon people will continue to be confused.

The plants and flowers. A cool way to decorate that doesn't die off and always a conversation starter. Also check out https://www.lightmybricks.com/.

Ultima and Wing Commander, I know I'm showing my age but I guess it's the nostalgia. I still go back and play through them.
