  • I respect your position but have to disagree.

    Trump, Musk ,and probably most of their circle come from families that have a strong inclination towards psychopathy. While there surely are ecological causes for this the probability of genetic causes supporting this are high.

    Capitalism and before that feudalism has positively selected psychopaths for centuries. It’s time we stopped breeding people incapable of empathy.

  • I recall them being caught of being in the possession of recordings they shouldn’t have had.

    On top of this the option of not sending recordings to the cloud is being removed just now - so they stopped pretending to respect your privacy.

  • Dude would just walk up to the tape drive, masterfully tweak the screw for a second, and it'd work.

    Me too! For some reason I was the only guy in school who could do that. Fun times. 😊

    Because I had a floppy drive and that's what I obviously preferred to use.

    In the beginning these were not available. Also I remember them costing the same as the C64 itself. As soon as I could afford one I got one obviously.

    I just another item that could a generational riddle: the hole-punch that made your one-sided floppy two-sided.

  • The screwdriver is not for the tape. It’s for adjusting the audio head so it can pick up the data on the tape.

    When someone gave you a tape with some nice games on it there was a near 100% chance you needed to adjust your datasette to read them.

  • I didn’t mean contronyms.

    One example of what I mean is the word knight. It used to mean boy or servant. The German word Knecht still means (farmers) servant.

    Another is ‘nice’, which used to mean ‘simple, foolish, ignorant’.

  • All feeds on all platforms are skewed right if not even extreme right since years.

    You have to block (far) right channels on YouTube to not get their crap videos suggested again and again.

    Add to that the brain frying effect of short clip after short clip on IG, YT and TikTok you get those right wing zombies.

    We should really ban all of these platforms in the EU - including Xitter, FB. Allow only fully open space products hosted in Europe.
