Oh man. I read Amusing Ourselves to Death maybe around 1990, in my teens, still. It seems so quaint when you consider YouTube, Roblox and the MMO industrial complex.

We have the exact same word in Norwegian (as well as the tangled boxes of obsolete USB cables to match.)

Remember when Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative put lasers in space and solved the nuclear arms race and we could all breathe a little easier? Me, neither.
(Still have to explain to my 12yo that lasers don't work at scale.)

I hate that I immediately think “AI?” when I see an amazing image like that. Honestly happy to see Dean wasn’t just a 2D cardboard cutout.
Threesome? Paul Newman? Hilarious.

Life isn't much better in the corporate world. People are encouraging consultants to use AI like Shakira: Whenever, wherever!
No critical culture, minimal coaching only, some minor admonishments about not uploading client info to LLMs and hey presto! Have fun with your magic word machine. 🤔

@inoreader.com does what I need it to do, yes. It has a genuine free model (I plan to go paid) and honors the conventions of the feed readers of old.

And kudos to you for doing the work and keeping your knowledge available. Past the 5-10 year mark, it does get harder. 😅

Oh, I always loved objkt4objkt, from the first one before objktcom appeared. I didn’t realize that was the reference, I’m off Twitter so I miss a lot of the NFT chatter.
