software is a mirror that reflects the times and the environment it was created in.
this is why much software created in the 1970s counterculture was joyful and humanistic, and why much software created in the 2020s capitalistic hellscape is soul-crushing malware (adware, spyware).
#retrocomputing can mean celebrating hardware limitations and creative coding, but it can also mean celebrating personal computing - computers that are tools for liberation - bicycles for the mind, not cattle trains to the slop farm.

@psf I would argue that the Age of Enshittification began in the 2010s (hard to pin down exactly. Maybe 2015-ish) but otherwise absolutely 100% agreed.
Computers and technology as a whole used to be neat. I just can't emphasize enough how exciting it all was. When some new tech, device, or software came out it was exciting! Now it's pretty much "*groan* how much is it going to screw me over and when will I be forced to use it?"
It's not just computers. It's everything. For example, cars next year will track your every movement and know where you scratch while trying to decide if you might be impaired and thus not allowed to drive based on criteria that will never allow for all possibilities.
I begin to wonder these days if there is any hope for this ever to end really.

Very disturbing that surveillance has progressed so blatantly with so many lining up happy to participate.

@psf I thought I was nostalgic, but Yes!

«Obiettivo quota 1,9 euro». Quindi, se i prezzi dovessero continuare ad aumentare, mettiamo un cap a 1,9 e immoliamo decine di miliardi di soldi pubblici?

5 settembre 1996. Pochi minuti dopo mezzanotte. Un paio di jeans indossati al volo, una camicia spiegazzata, occhi assonnati e capelli spettinati. Una valigia in mano, e una cesta in vimini nell’altra. Le acque si sono rotte, si corre verso l’ospedale. Sto per chiudere la porta dietro di me, e per un attimo … https://cctm.website/elogio-del-perfetto-padre-imperfetto/

Ah dimenticavo: buona festa del papà!
Ieri mio figlio di nove anni mi ha chiesto di insegnargli a fare il nodo per la cravatta.
Io non lo so fare e ogni volta che vado a un matrimonio spendo due ore a impararlo di nuovo, lui ha imparato quello semplice in dieci minuti.
Mi è venuto in mente che da bambini quando si disegnava o faceva un lavoretto a scuola, l'immagine del papà era un generico umano in cravatta. Chissà cos'è oggi.
