Did you ever use one? I had the pleasure back in the early eighties. I can still, just about, remember the character / finger formations.

I always thought it was 1965-1980 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generat... So as one born in 64 I consider myself the last of the Boomer generation, not a GenX.

I've always thought they should change to the ISO 2-letter code. It works for domain names. Why not cars? Interestingly in India some people choose to have what they call a German number plate with IN surrounded by stars. But you can't drive an Indian car anywhere else so it's moot.

Logically I agree. But in the case of modist family-owned farms who are capital (land) rich but cash poor, this means selling land to pay IHT, which might make the farm unviable. So only tax the inheritors if they sell within, say, 5 years. We need small farms to feed people.

To many gatekeepers? That's why @bsky.app is important. (I know it's the same argument the loony right make - perhaps that's the point?) Freedom of speech should be cherished. Who should decide what we know?

Perhaps link registering to a $1 sign-up? I'd pay that one-off cost. Maybe others wouldn't. But a bot farm with 10,000 bots might think twice. And if the same card was used 10k times...
