    This is a great story, and really what most people emotionally tied to every ecosystem seem to forget.

    I started off as a kid on a single Apple || and then PowerMac my school had. Then Windows from 3.1 to 7, back to MacOS for 2 machines, and then Windows 10 and I watched it slide further and further down. But fucking Win 11 broke me. Fortunately, Linux has come a very long way.

    FWIW, I saw somewhere a funny thing about how there’s some people that spend loads on time setting something up, then put it in a drawer once it’s done, and never use it again. I feel like that’s a feature of human ingenuity. Book binders don’t write the words in the books, you know?

      Ha yeah, very good point. Reminds me of Lego. The entertainment is mostly in the building. Once complete, it’s mostly untouched.
