Dat feeling when reading "IRC (an open protocol)" on HN—the parenthesis being necessary to explain IRC.

Makes me think in 10 years time the web will all be discord-like data silos behind infernal subscriptions and/or dark patterns with ads.

What a wonderful thing we've created.

This is a whole 'nother level of user hostility, never before have I seen anything like it.

If humanity suddenly died tomorrow the world would be littered with handy rectangular glass pieces all over the world.

Alien archeologists would have a field day figuring out what they were for.

Ruckzuck is way more interesting and ahead of its time (1970).

Also check out Ashra - Deep Distance (1976).

Well to make matters worse remember we're about to add another ~2 billion humans (Quark DS9 voice) peaking at around 10 in the 2080s.

Most of the growth will be in Africa, not exactly the most lawful place in the world so it looks kind of bleak for the environment and animals there.

Those 2 billion will all want a nice home and a smartphone, computer, TV, car etc…

It's not looking great, not even if we got nuclear fusion reactors figured out tomorrow.

English royalty does this from time to time, through different means.

The Duke of Windsor (formerly Edward, Prince of Wales) is credited with popularizing and essentially "saving" or bringing the Fair Isle sweater to global fashion prominence in the 1920s.

Cook will handle the politics and optics, he will remain like a king representing Apple without any true power.

Ternus will be the soldier in the trenches.

I feel excitement for the future of Apple.
