Huh… Blocked. Reddit’s getting snitty. They’re feeling threatened.

Kids these days not knowing the history they’re repeating… SMH.

Eternal September: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September September was traditionally the time of new admissions in US collages and universitie. As a result of these institutes often being the first time many would gain access to Usenet September had areputation of clueless newbies flailing around until they either self selected out or adapted. In 1993 AOL gave their userbase Usenet access. Thus the term ‘Eternal September’ or ‘The September that never Ends.’

Luser: Portmantu of Loser and User. Used Derisively in some online communities in the 90’s to refer to new, and often clueless, users.

For the past thirty two years, and counting.

I was there at the beginning. Just a wee Luser. Such fun and wonderful times for eleven year old me to be punted into.

As one of those newbies?

Hi. It is the two millionth day of September, give or take a few thousand.

…that reminds me. I need to update the Stormsong ship logs…

This is fair. A lot of positive changes in regards to business treatment and actions (repairability being a big one, an example of forcing compliance is getting apple to switch to USB-C … After sixteen or eighteen years of their own propritary thing.)

The US in my eyes as someone in a red state, has lost its seat at the grownup’s table.

Next issue releases in April. We switched to quarterly because, to be honest, there was editor burnout trying to scrape for content each month and the zine ended up being like… three articles. VERY underwhelming.

And move it where al-jaz? The founding/voting council all are corrupt in one form or another. China? Pffft no. Russia? Pffft no. The arab world? I’m sorry but Saudi Arabia has a corruption problem the likes of which make even Trump look sane.

The US always had skeletons in the closet but now we’re literally running back to the gilded age. That’s not my words that’s Trump’s own proclaimation that is what he wants. A time where companies were unaccountable and those without power were essentially incapible of doing anything but taking it.

Gemini actually.

And the CSS for the http site is literally from ctrl-c’s main page with a few values tweaked, as i didn’t like fullblack on background, and I edited the widths a bit. I think.

SDF is kind of the grandaddy of it all. There is another system from 82, that is now under the care of SDF.

Hi. I’m the guy that tipped HaD off to these things.

Tilde communities predate the Tildes ‘service.’ and is effectivly a return/recreation of the pre-graphical web service model of ‘you’re connecting with a specific machine and using its services.’

No it isn’t for everyone, and sadly no while most have email services gmail, icloud, etc refuse to interact with them.

I like it, but I’m functionally insane. It gives me a place to post static sites and my gemini based blog.
