I remember when these were first developed. Wish they had taken off in a bigger way. I might try to hunt down the folks involved and put together some info for those interested.

Extreme anxiety and suicide 

@HiroProtagonist That's hilarious and silly but gives me the feels. The joy she has about giving kids a new and fun experience is enviable and largely absent from society. The lengths people used to have to go through for fun is also something to consider. Maybe the direction we took computers was a mistake.

@Jdogg247 Dude looks like he's in an episode of Dallas.

I could totally see myself falling down this rabbit hole.
Homing Pigeons are amazing!

Apple to finally bring RCS to iPhones: But alongside iMessage

I was really sure this was an early April Fool’s joke, but it appears to be genuine…

Apple will keep its iMessage as-is, so that won’t affect its security, and they don’t want to bring iMessage either to Android (as that would lose them customers).

What does it mean for a computer to be Personal? What does it mean for a computer to be legible? What is the role of a computer user? What is the role of a programmer? Why is there a distinction? Must there be?

Disagreeing with Israel on a matter is NOT antisemitism
Caring for civilian Palestinian lives is NOT antisemitism
Being concerned about the bombings in Gaza is NOT antisemitism
Reservedly understanding there is a reason for the bombing is NOT anti-Palestinian
Desiring a ceasefire is NOT antisemitism, is NOT pro-Hamas
Calling for the death of all Jews IS antisemitism
Calling for the death of any group of people is anti-that-group-of-people

But don't let a handy label get in the media's way.

Musical harmony, sure, but that’s not what I’m talking about.

Hanging out with over 30 family members in Jamaica tonight. We just got finished having a devo and singing a few hymns. It is a legit miracle how much harmony we all have together. Proof of God stuff🙂

@thor My first car was the 84' 240 DL wagon and I loved it. Not so good on ice, but it did get 22 mpg. It doesn't look as bad as I remember it.

@mathiasx I liked Ready Player One, Project Hail Mary, The Martian, etc

@GettingCooked@noagendasocial.com Whoa, @mary grabbed a bag of them this afternoon for the first time in years.

@nbailey Your guide inspired me to set up a VOIP rotary phone, thanks! It's a fun conversation piece and I forgot how nice handsets are. The 4YO seems drawn to it as well. Can't wait to order a pizza with it later this week!

@parker @MK2boogaloo A guy at my college turned in his thesis to get his masters in structural engineering. One of the profs congratulated him and pulled a Columbo. "Just one more thing, what's the fundamental theorem of calculus?" He botched the answer and it cost him another semester.
