Why? Just Why?
Why? Just Why?
Quite a run. I didn’t know Zilog was even still in existence under the same name, albeit part of a bigger company. Still remember learning assembler on a TRS-80 Model II with one of these in it.
I find that there is far too much of it in my Lemmy feed. I have a very long list of blocked communities which I have blocked, tediously, one at a time as they appeared. Obviously a lot of people like it, but it’s not for me.
I wish there was a setting similar to the one that blocks NSFW content, but for anime and manga.
I have been getting logged out of the Wordle game site about every 2nd or 3rd day for the last month.
The thing I remember is the thrill of realizing how.much.stuff. was out there (even though by current standards it was tiny). There was a repository hosted by WUSTL.EDU that had a ton of software source code, binaries and other stuff; you could submit requests to it by e-mail and back would come your files uuencoded, split across multiple e-mail messages. You had to cobble the pieces back together before you could decode it.
Famine! Pestilence! Locusts for sure!
What an idiot.
