I did an internship in a small data center. That hurt to read. Made me miss the job too.

Brings me back, Xbox live just doesn’t have the same finesse in it’s trash talk these days.

It’s complicated, but some would argue the modern Internet started in 1986 (with the adoption of DNS and TCP/IP for the NFSNET), a full year after Handmaid’s Tale was published even.

But yeah, Atwood stated she took inspiration from religious movements in the 1980s to oppress women, the Islamic revolution in Iran in the 1970s and it’s effect on women, and the pushback in late 1940s against women working after the war ended.

If only denser housing structures and public transportation and work from home didn’t all keep getting voted down and shouted down by NIMBYs so we had a better way. I get out and vote and write letters to elected officials. Not much more many of us can do.

Do you mean with the Voyager FDS? There’s a big difference between patching a system 30+ years past it’s planned mission date because at everyone’s amazement it just keeps going and being valuable versus the Neuralink developing issues a few months after being installed when many expected it to fail because of the news of high failure rate among the primate test subjects beforehand.
