18/20 because waterbeds weren’t a common thing here and I already had internet access and a mail address before AOL was a thing. Whoever made that list should have added usenet.

I’m early Gen X and phreaking was well before my time, too. John Draper was born in 1943 and he and friends discovered the 2600Hz signal and the whistle having that frequency around the time I was born.

It’s not only funny, it also stabilizes the mantelpiece during an earthquake and prevents the urn from toppling over.

As a European - does anyone think we give any fucks when a recalcitrant Island exits the Union?

And this is why we not only need to reduce our dependence on China in the long run but also our dependence on the US.

There’s just no way a sovereign state live while depending on US monopolies.

I’m atheist who went through an agnostic phase earlier.

So - as a thought experiment - let’s assume there is a god and heaven and a judgment day.

There are two persons in front of the ultimate judge.

One behaved “good” but just out of fear of ultimate judgement.

The other one just he didn’t want to be an asshole out of his own wishes.

Who’d pass?

So I think god is irrelevant. Belief is irrelevant.

Ultimately these ideas led me down the path of optimistic nihilism.

And my most important rule for life: Just don’t be an asshole.

I miss my poop knife copypasta.

There’s no way individual donations from ordinary people could match Google’s. They’re also likely to be less reliable.

Thank god. I do really believe all the Google money is actively stifling innovation at Mozilla. The only thing they can’t do is building a better browser than chrome is, for fear of becoming a viable alternative again.

So they use the money for some CEO pay. and weird projects while Firefox further falls from popularity.

I hope for the day Firefox’s market share has dropped to a level tha Google just won’t pay any money anymore for the default search engine deal.

That day - and not one day before - innovation will resume.

I did. I rage-signed up for a monthly contribution to the Servo project the last time I read about something Mozilla did.

Recently I go fucking annoyed by Mozilla that I rage-contributed (monthly payment) to Servo.

Mozilla is such a shit show.

I would probably cum from laughing.

When I was in 7th grade I had the same teacher in Latin that my dad had.

That teacher was really old. It was hard to cheat in a test, as he had extremely crossed eyes and I never was sure where he looked.

Weird memories.

For a long time I didn’t like Nihilism because of the implied negativity. There’s no god, no reason no ultimate judge. So it says behave as you like, and I somehow read it as “don’t care about anyone else”.

Just I feel better when I treat people nicely, when I’m not an asshole. Not out of fear, but because I like to.

It was so eye opening when I found out this is known as optimistic nihilism.

This is the world. Shit happens, good things happen. There is no deeper reason behind it. Things are not important. I can make the world my hell or my playground.

That’s what I was thinking looking at this meme. Being both is the only logical thing.

Shall I stay or shall I go now?
