You are me. I am you. Old enough to be burdened with the memory of a world before the internet, doomed to watch the death of freedom because of it.

Old, like me tag

    That keyboard is fascinating. Explain yourself.

    It's called TypeWise and takes a little to get used to. However, for someone who absolutely hates digital keyboards, I like it the best of any digital keyboards I've used!

    Looks a little pricey, what features are locked behind the paywall?

    Silly ones like keyboard colors and predictive text outside of like the first 3 or 4 words. Those were the two I hit before paying for it. Their trial is pretty good. Seems a lot of the paywall features are convenience, not necessity.

    Damn, I remember in the late 90’s playing Everquest with some guy in China that knew almost no English thinking how fucking amazing it was to be playing a game with someone on the other side of the world. Now I sit around thinking how the unabomber maybe wasn’t so crazy. I work in cybersecurity and all I want to do is go back to the AOL era

    I feel this in my very creaky bones! I, too, have fond memories of playing EverQuest on a 56k modem and thinking how cool it was that I could play with people from all over the country and world. At least until someone picked up the phone and got me killed mid-fight! Ted wasn't all that right with his choice of targets, but his assessment of our broken system back then was spot on, I agree. I wish technological improvements since those days didn't come with the side of techno-fascism that we see today.
