Many of that era might do better with sysex dumps for most of the things floppies do. Still kinda slow but no media to futz with.

The issue is less 'evolving', than the fact that humans are terrible, some posit wholly incapable, of UNlearning things. Learning new things is easy within our established models, but outside a reality-translation device, transgressing things we "know", is still subconscuiously verboten to even the most open-minded of us.

This is sad, but blaming the existince of cars, and not reminding people to look both ways before crossing, makes me feel most posters here have an agenda having zero to do with rememberance of the dead, or preservation of the living.


This is ridiculous victim-blaming. The speeding car went on to smash into a taxi, should the taxi also have “looked both ways”?

The issue is most doxxing is just 'revealing' already public information. I will stick with freedom of speech and not acting in a way that doxxing would matter. I also denounce, publicly, the current actions of israel. See how easy that is?

It usually works too! Usually.


I have neither on mine and still have all my fingers. Weird.


All my garage would be illegal. Tools have risks, you cant idiot proof everything without making an objectively worse world.


Why are we watching our generations holocaust and standing by doing nothing, except enabling it with our tech and silence?
