I hate I have a birthday in the same millennium. All these <26 year olds with their youth, and a 2 at the start of their birth year!

They’ll never know the glory of the 90s!

They’ll never know what it was like to grow up in a pre-digital world!

They’ll never know what it was like in an airport before 9/11!

I never knew what it was like in an airport before 9/11 because I only flew for the first time last week but my point still stands!

And as for the rest of you millennials! Remember Dexter? This is him now! Feel old yet?

Went to the DDR Museum in Berlin. They turned an entire Trabant into a game controller. The game is projected onto the windscreen, and I loved it!

Even came home with my own little model Trabant ❤️

I went to one for the first time in 8 years a couple of weeks ago. Next time I go I’ll be enjoying the little café they have and joining in on their creative writing course!

I didn’t realise how many little events and classes happen in my local library, and most of them are either completely free or cost next to nothing.

I’m looking at a Volla phone https://volla.online/en/

But I also have no experience of Linux in general yet so I have no idea if this is a good move.

I just really want to get away from android/apple/windows on all of my devices.

I want SteamOS for desktop, because quite frankly gaming is all I really use a desktop for anymore.

I had a game of Civ where Poland declared war on me. They were on the other side of the map.

I didn’t see them for 8 turns. Turn 9 I see a horde arrive on my border. Turn 10 - at the earliest opportunity they were able - they asked for peace.

I managed to sink 2 boats.

Looks like East Anglia has basically disappeared.

At least nothing of value was lost 👍

And is this “small government” in the room with us right now?

[Glances nervously at devices]

I wonder if he’ll use Starlink…

It’s just large text. It’s the same in Voyager

I’m not op, but I’m 55° north… It’s 22:25 here and this is how light it is right now. In another 4 hours, it’ll be nearly full daylight again!

I’m a driving instructor so I feel this is one area I can come in. Unfortunately I’m at a wedding at the moment so I’ll chime in later. Just making this comment now so I know to come back to this 😂

My gf’s employer was going into administration last month. AI was surprisingly competent in determining where to seek advice and had a decent understanding of what to expect and how to approach things such as not getting paid on time (which happened last week).

Of course, we double and triple checked any information given to us with the relevant bodies, but it provided a little relief to go into something so chilling not being completely clueless.

AI has its use, but you have to know how to extract the information you need.

It’s stupid the way people are using it for therapy. Like, by all means ask it if it knows any organisations which can help you, then look those up, but don’t tell it a load of personal information about your relationship, because the reply will be something akin to the advice you see on r/relationships (which is probably where it scraped its data from) 😅

This is the dream ❤️

I think David Mitchell puts it succinctly 👌

It’s all good. My fiancé misreads things all the time. I’m a writer and she has dyslexia so it’s essentially a reflex of mine to help out when this happens 😂

I think you’re maybe confusing scarce with sacred?

That sounds great!

Wait a minute… That doesn’t sound like anarchy… That sounds like democracy!

I was colonised by an alien, once. It’s never been the same since.

No, no. We know. We all know. We just don’t tell you we know.
