Same here. My brain lit up with nostalgia when I saw Rennes-Le-Château mentioned.

Bring back Lilo!

Personally, I miss blessing my iBook with “holy penguin pee”:

lilo was great. Elilo was not maintained so now the only usable option is refind. Grub trying to be a smart ass and numbering things with its own nomenclature is ... funny.

Introducing Windows NNT (New New Technology).

Most PC laptops at Neo's price point (or cheaper) are essentially manufactured e-waste.

Those gestures have been permanently tattooed into my brain and muscle memory. So much so that I’ve set Gesturefy on Firefox to mimic the same ones from the old Opera browser.

Based on my recollection of The Bible and the Book of Revelation (it's been almost 30 years since I was last forced to read it), Peter Thiel and his ilk match the definition of what an "antichrist" is or should be.

The book of Revelation doesn't mention any antichrist. Only the epistles of John mention antichrists and the definition of what they are. Any proposed link between any antichrists and the book of Revelation was created in the past few hundred years.

Actually, the idea of an end times Antichrist has been around for much of Christianity's history.

Irenaeus of Lyon synthesized the beast of Revelation (which is what most people conflate with "The Antichrist"), Daniel's imagery, and Paul's "man of lawlessness" (2 Thess. 2) into a composite end-times figure back around 180 CE in his work "Against Heresies". Additionally, Hippolytus of Rome also wrote an entire treatise, "On Christ and Antichrist", back in early 200 CE, that also explored that relevant symbolism in the Old and New Testaments.

For context, both Irenaeus and Hippolytus are considered among the most important of the early Church Fathers.


Some of the ideas have been around a long time but they weren't integrated together into a whole until over a hundred years ago by John Nelson Darby and was then were popularized by the Schofield Reference Bible 1 hundred years ago.

Tahoe's UI looks like a generic, "futuristic-like", user-created theme for KDE circa 2009.

The only missing thing are wobbly windows and a cube desktop switcher.

(Yes, I know, don’t give them ideas.)


Like the cube user switcher in MacOS?

Oh, yeah, I completely forgot about that. No multi-user Macs in the house anymore.

I liked how the IBM Lotus suite hid password input behind a randomly-generated number of asterisks per key press.

How kind of them to allow me to do something so basic that I had been able to do since the Windows 95 days up until 4 years ago when they inexplicably decided to take it away from me.

Huh? Where do you get that from?

Mix of anecdotes and law of large numbers - for every 10 person startup founded by hipsters in Berlin you have a 500-1,000 person GCC opening up in Warsaw, such as Google.

Gulf Corporation Council? GNU Compiler Collection?

Google & co have very little footprint in the EU.

In 2022 they had 25K employees and interns. That's tiny.
