    @rom Not everyone. But those of us with serious concerns seem to be in a substantial minority.

  • @danielpunkass I’ve made it to 65 - not sure I was ever 100% punk, but definitely still angry.

    @rasterweb I used to worry a bit about whether deleting all my code from GitHub had been the right move. Now I feel quite vindicated.

    @manton Bell Labs CARDIAC was one of the first computers I ever programmed. Would love to see projects like that come out of corporate America again. Maybe they’re out there and I’m just not paying attention.

    @jabel Nailed it. 2020 internet didn’t much resemble 1995 internet, at least from my point of view. I’ve spent much of the past 5 years cutting computer & internet use. Now I worry that micro.blog is too civil and will sucker me back in to living online!

    @rasterweb Ah, banner ads. Perhaps they need one for their webring.

    @rom There’s something sadly ironic about using X to publicize a judgment in favor of digital privacy.

    @manton Might need to revise help.micro.blog/t/using-c… . And IMO you ought to link to that help page from the Categories page. But then I have a lot of opinions :)

    @manton We’ve seen this movie before (“Anyone will be able to program a computer just by telling it what they want it to do”) multiple times, at least as far back as the Japanese 5GL projects in the 1980s. Perhaps it’s different this time, but I’m skeptical. It’s a perennial dream of the capitalist class who would like to dispense with those pesky (& expensive) programmers.
