I didn’t realise it was just this one grandma that did all that.

Same as it ever was.

Boomers and Gen X did exactly the same thing that you’re doing. Nothing. They just let the super rich elite screw the whole world up and now you’re doing the same thing they did. Nothing.

If you want to act high and mighty you’re not going to change the world by complaining on the internet. You have to stop the super rich.

A lot of larger companies like Compaq etc. were making “respectable” PCs by then and selling them in big quantities in direct competition to IBM.

There’s a reason why no-one bought IBM PS/2s. They were horrible value for money.

The real competition at the time was the thousands of other brands selling PCs. By that time IBM was plummeting in sales and other companies were selling most of the PCs. That’s where 95% of the market was.

Samsung offers a lot more models so they tend to have a higher high end and a lower low end than Apple.

Traffic was close to zero here during covid lockdowns. It was bliss - it was quiet and serene like I’ve never experienced before.

Is it wrong to be wistful about the car-free depths of a pandemic?

Not if you’re planning on buying an EV

I found one from the early 2000s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOxSWzi9G_g

Python’s become very widely used in industry - it’s definitely a plus when looking for jobs these days. TIOBE now says it’s the most popular language in the world.

I don’t think it was specifically DARE here but I do remember some super cringe anti-drug ads in the late 80s or maybe early 90s.

Democracies usually have laws and some kind of government. There are no laws in Freetown Christiania and there’s no individual who has direct power over another.

I think this is a common misconception about anarchies - that there’s no social control of any kind. If you look at actual real world anarchies like Freetown Christiania in Copenhagen they don’t believe in a complete absence of organisation. Far from it - they develop community-based committees which have no actual power in themselves but are used to develop concensus on issues that affect the whole community. So rather than abolishing all rules they’re all about human collaboration and concensus.

For instance when hard drugs became a problem in Christiana the residents got together and banned hard drugs. It’s not a law as such but everyone’s in agreement that if you try to sell hard drugs you’ll be ejected.

It’s not a perfect place and it’s hard to say that their brand of anarchy works well as a system of government. It seems to have been a mixed experience for many people who’ve lived there. But it’s definitely been an interesting social experiment.

There are plenty of documentaries on youtube if you’re interested.

Both ISO8601 and RFC3339 are YYYY-MM-DD. The difference is in how the date and time are separated.

Don’t you mean:

class AgreementManagerClass {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("I agree."); 
    }
}
