They started out good and then cranked the engagement trap to the max when they realize value of a captive audience.

I think television has done more harm, politically.

Radio did plenty of harm as well (especially post 1987). Rush Limbaugh had a peak audience of 20-30 million listeners a week in the 90s. The current state of politics might've been unpreventable, at least in the US.

Radio did plenty of harm in 1930s Germany - Hitler was a master of the new medium.

Compared to LinkedIn, which consumes GBs of memory.

I installed BeOS in the 90s as a kid. It was awesome, and I love seeing this.

Excellent summary, as unfortunate as it is.

Putting a camera and microphone on your head and wearing it all day, connected to a platform with Mark Zuckerberg at the helm... what do you expect?

It's unfortunate what happened to DB over the years. I last rode a DB fast train in 2018. We just stopped in the middle of a field for no announced reason for 70 minutes. I missed my international flight home as a result. I haven't rode the DB since, and hear it has only gotten worse.

I was on a lovely fast smooth ICE Sprinter to Berlin last week. All was going well until they announced that the train would terminate at Erfurt (roughly half way) because… who knows?!

These days, a DB journey that doesn’t involve some sort of disruption is the outlier.

I am a fan of the fish cursor. We should make the internet quirky again. This is like a modern take on Geocities websites, and they should do things like fish cursors now while they still can before a board of VCs comes in and makes them remove the fish cursor.

Ha, thank you. We figured if we are building robots for fish we might as well commit to the bit. Enjoy it while it lasts.

I'm only surprised it took this long for an exposure of backend data to the front end to be discovered in RSC

I just keep a tomahawk axe in my car. That works.
