I remember downloading and running random EXEs on my school’s NT4 machines.

There was a few joke programs, the one I remember right now, would make the start button jump around on the screen.

This was also around the time we all got on MSN Messenger, but us cool kids used an alternative client, Trillian, or later, Miranda IM.

A clear favorite of the time was the demo versions of Unreal Tournament 99 and Return To Castle Wolfenstein, both was easily installed, ran decent on the computer and had LAN multiplayer, there were a few impromptu LAN parties after school…

Later in my education I attended a trade school where I took networking classes.

Someone had snuck in a copy of Age Of Empires 2 on all machines in the lab, so we spent the days setting up a network, and after school was over, we gamed on it.

Brilliant fun!

Cool to see a project like this not just being a github page or theory, but actually used in practice!

One of the worst thing you can curse someone with: “may you live in interesting times”

Yeah, Star Trek reference, still fits

I hope you are right, I really don’t want to wait 20+ years to pop the champagne I have set aside for him.

Meh, same goes for Australia, but I see your point.

I could see a tattoo of my personal ID number being a good idea, put it on my ankle where my sock can cover it up.

So should I die and loose my normal ID, the police can use the ID number on my ankle to help them identify me.

They should have been thrown out once it got clear that their response to October 7 turned into a genocide.

37 years old, I have the plush elefant, rabbit, polar bear, koala and toad I grew up with sitting on a chest of drawers next to my bed, my toad especially means a lot to me, it is in my list of five things I would try to save in case of a fire.

Kissinger died at 100 years old, that is still potentially 21 years if Trump will live to 100 as well…

Ah, does that count as outing?

I am not sure on how that works.

1440p on a 27" monitor is the best resolution for work and for gaming.

2025, the year of the first trans pope?

I interviewed for a job at Klarna HQ in Stockholm about a decade ago, and I am glad I didn’t get it, I had a great time at my past employer and a have decent time at my current.

Their reception was flashy, but the interview was strained.

I used to love Klarnas payment system, when I first got into online shopping it was great, you entered your name, phone and address, and then selected that you wanted to pay through your internet bank, you got sent to your internet bank, logged in with your hardware token and approved the single transaction, done, easy.

Now you need to set up an autopay service to Klarna to be able to do something similar, oh and they won’t take the money immediately, it can take a few days, so you can loose track of it and be annoyed later.

I will never take any offer to buy now, pay later, that is just dumb.

This could be an interesting creepy pasta.

A guy who sees red circles and arrows pointing out cars that will have an accident in the the next 10 sec.

Ending with him seeing a red bar in front of his car as he is driving…

Just heads up, the protest have worked, Geoguessr will not be participating in the event.

I recently got a huge standing desk at home, 2 meters wide, the computer sits in a holder on the side, it has excellent cable management, and is really durable.

I mostly sit at the desk, but being able to stand when I am tired is amazing.

Aslo, doing cable management under the desk is sooooooooo much easier when you can raise it up and roll in under it on your chair.

I’d rather retire and die in piece than wake up to an unfamiliar world.

Then I can finally pop the bottle of cheap champagne I have marked “Musk”, I have a few more marked bottles as well, and just realized I need another bottle.

I am a huge Geoguessr fan, this is a great protest, I will be taking down my maps was well.
