Screenshot of a web-design prototype showing a wiki-like page for formatting for different headers, links and quotes etc.
No K8s, no Docker, no Node, no React, no #JavaScript, no AI — just 2KB of #HTML + #CSS and one image. How did we get so far from this when a webpage is 10MB and requires several gigs of dependencies to checkout locally now?

Screenshot of webpage displaying rendered text and the plaintext source. Though the rendered text is formatted, it can be copied and the clipboard will contain the original plaintext.
Screenshot of webpage displaying rendered text and the plaintext source. The formatted text is selected to show that the selection encompasses the markup from the plaintext version, and the URLs with hidden parts can be revealed by mousing over the link.
What if wiki, but simple? Markdown? Wikitext? NOPE -- what about a markup language where output == input? You can copy+paste the HTML-formatted text and it's the same as the plaintext, even the links which have a hidden part revealed on mouse-over. No JS

I'm writing a story, a book maybe, but I can't post it here in pieces because the text-limit is too small so please read on the link above and you can give any thoughts here or on the hashtag #aeonglass
Imagine an hourglass, except rather than measuring hours, it counts out aeons. Its circumference is 25'000 mi. The glass walls are 60 mi thick. The sand within forms a desert almost 8'000 mi wide edge to edge...

I can’t do #bluesky, it’s just another Twitter — what you think BlueSky is, is what #Mastodon actually is, for the Nazis will come to BlueSky soon enough and there will be much hand-wringing about free speech and the algorithm will dictate that the noise of hate will drown out all
Explaining to my wife the difference between #furry and #anthro and she goes "Well excuse me for mis-kinking you!" XD
Make sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995
The MegaDrive has its top games but the SNES has the bigger, more broader, library that’ll keep you going for years
It was literally never a problem on CRTs and when there existed no other 60Hz stuff anywhere except PCs which few people had in the early 90s. Only in the modern era of PCs and YouTube comparison videos have people been turning their nose up at PAL

This is Trash to Treasure...with an entire building!
We're building the facilities to maintain and restore everything from a Game Boy to a Gauntlet arcade cabinet, in our quest to create the greatest retro destination we can!

Why does Keir Starmer look like someone has shoved a hose labelled "fascism" up his arse and is slowly inflating him as he speaks?
This may be the last console you'll be able to afford -- good thing it can play ALL the games! #retrogaming #fpga #mister
Skype pulled most incomprehensible bag fumble of all time. A 15 year head start. Total ubiquity. Added to the Oxford English Dictionary by 2014. Only to fall nuts-first into irrelevance at the exact moment when all other communication was made illegal. Truly, the Pete Best of videoconferencing. RIP.
#Skype may have been shut down, but don’t worry, it’ll keep reinstalling itself after every Windows update for years to come ✨
Goes to show how cavernous the C64’s RAM was, even a full bitmap display was just 9KB, still leaving 55KB! (24KB is shadowed so harder to use, but not impossible)
No clear picture of the bottom? (did I miss it?) Do you have a QR code for the instructions anywhere? It's not clear how slices are supposed to connect -- there's no bottom facing connector?
Some small recommendations:
The glass case you're presenting on makes things a bit visually cluttered -- consider putting down a paper sheet to cover the glass; It's hard to see the outline of the MMS2 on the dark glass. Likewise, a light underneath would help.
I have to say, that's an incredibly clear and concise video presentation; the opposite of what we get nowadays with product launches that do anything but get to the hard facts

Let me guess, the CEO isn’t a part of this lord-of-the-flies scheme?

That would be really important information to know, life-saving even perhaps, would be an awful shame to block access to such important safety knowledge…
Timezones maybe, but that’s opening a can of worms
Screenshot of Encarta Virtual Globe 1998 Edition — the most 90s interface; we’ve got space, the globe, photos of CULTURE from around the WORLD. It is very “extra” as the kids would say
