    There’s nothing wrong with the technology

    Glances at the legacy fossil fuel infrastructure

    Idk about that.

    the general f*ckery that is through everything now I miss my 2400 baud modem that was bigger than my computer and dialing in to a BBS.

    A lot of the historical nostalgia is based on biased accounts of past eras.

    “I wish I lived in the 80s” is a thing you say when you’re not told about the airborne lead fumes or the acid rain. “I wish I lived in the 50s” is said by people who would feel very differently if they were being drafted to the Korean War.
