Toots are ephemeral, subject to deletion on a whim.

Born at 323 ppm. Living at the crossroads of the Butlerian Jihad and Idiocracy.

I've been terminally online for ~40 years, long before the big endless scroll. I've seen things some people wouldn't believe. 1200 baud modems on fire from Usenet flame wars. I watched c-news servers stutter at the mere mention of Kibo. All those moments will be lost in AI slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify.

@cks You're already looking at the screen when unlocking though, unless you do blind unlocks with it in your pocket for some sneaky recording reason.

@CommonSparrow Stahp, you’re falling off the of the far end of the bell curve and making people question their life choices :)

@unchartedworlds that counts, given the recent news article trying to blame some down economy on people not upgrading yearly

If a device is used many years that’s a good thing imo

I'm still rocking a 2020 era iPhone 12 mini. Runs iOS 26 just fine.

This is what the internet is for. Maybe not the MS Teams part though.

Once upon a time I discovered that inserting an OpenBSD boot floppy into a Windows 95 or 98 system would instantly BSOD. Circa 1998-99

I think it was triggered by no dos partition in the MBR, and some obviously lack in error checking in the windows on-diskette-insert stuff.
