I don't know. My grandpa is 96. He uses a smart phone just fine. He even uses LLMs through the web chat UI. He also uses Photoshop to edit photos. My grandma when she was alive was also using a smart phone.

I don't know... It doesn't look very "small" to me. I "next post"ed a few, and most of them ended up being just some typical tech bro blog talking about boring tech.

But I did eventually stumble upon a post about two corgis, and another about medieval Europe...thingy. So it's not all bad.

I love how Americans still dip their heads in the sand and pat themselves on the back by saying China produces low quality stuff.

* It's low quality stuff that you buy everyday * It's not merely low quality stuff, but low quality stuff in astonishing quantity... * ... and among them, occasionally there are some high quality stuff. It might be a small ratio, but the base number is there.

RSS, MusicXML, SVG, Docbook, Epub, JATS, XMP, ...

And yes all of the above are mainstream in their respective industry.

Well, I don't know about the other things, but I absolutely hate the orange street lights. Bad color reproduction, and make me sleepy.

Having free time is a privilege. The author is privileged and they don't know it.
