Even original Nolan Bushnell's Atari, was bought by Warner Brothers, then (mostly) bought by Jack Tramiel after leaving Commodore. So it's not an unbroken line. Infogrames Fr's new management has quit with the NFT nonsense, and is making Atari-related stuff that isn't awful.

Also, Courtney Love is 10x the musician Kurt ever was, listen to any track on America's Sweetheart and you'll break your heart. It's better that she's free.

The average quality of music in the world doubled the day Kurt Cobain solved his headache problem. Grunge was a disease caused by not changing your clothes, and using too much heroin instead of learning to play instruments and sing.

And, I'm peak GenX and a Seattleite.

"What was that noise?"

Most languages respond something like "it's nothing", de nada. English is a little weird saying "welcome".

Repo Man. If they don't like it, I don't want them around.

Joke's on them, I've never been "well rested" in my life or my digital afterlife.

Multiple of your friends have cancer, died of cancer, or of other illnesses. But mostly the cancer.

You wonder if your bowels are OK. They are not.

It's still a surviving working copy. "I" go away and reboot every time I fall asleep.

You made an obviously incorrect claim, and now you've doubled down on "nobody should have a phone or computer", which is… no longer in reality. Thanks for not having a productive conversation.

If you can't afford an iPhone, that's tough, but I live in the US where it's 56%, and around the world it's 28%, which is not "doesn't exist". And in any case Signal exists for the others. Yes, if you use a freecycled GNU/Linux phone with not-sold-in-Shenzhen wireless chipset not supported by any carrier so it has to be hardwired to ethernet, you'll have a harder time.

And if you do try to do everything at once, you fail at everything. Which is what happened after Google EEE'd and crushed XMPP, it's unsupported in full by anyone. There's no money in open source networking, it's near impossible to fund the people who work on critical infrastructure, let alone new toys.

Meanwhile, there's a system that's been working for 35 years.
