Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

never been to the usenet, i see.
I wasn’t a nerd back then frankly. I mean it wasn’t good look for surviving the school. The only one was bullied like fuck
ah. well, my commiserations, the us seems to thrive on pitting people against each other.
anyways, my point is that usenet had every type of crank you can see these days on twitter. this is not new.
Well probably but what’s the point if some extremely small minority used it?
The point with iPad kids is that it is so common. The kids played outside and stuff well into 2000s.
Still I guess iPads are better than dxm tabs but as the old wisdom says: why not both?
@Emmie “it wasn’t full of twitter fake news etc as we know it”
Maybe you should say what your point is.
I thought I did, the fuck ya want from me
"this only matters now because I only became aware of it today" is not, y'know, a very compelling argument
for, well, anything
@Emmie You thought wrong
I don’t even remember what it was about now tbh, must not been super important
