The CD-ROM was predicted to replace all paper documents. Instead, it mostly replaced our ability to keep jewel cases uncracked. Did you use CDs that way?

Do you have pics of your 1st phone? 1st smartphone was the IBM Simon. It had email, fax a stylus, but only 1 hr battery life. $899 in 94'. 🤯I may have reviewed my Droid Eris back in 2010. 👀

Is being an adult just a really buggy OS that we all have to run? Because my task manager is always showing 100% memory usage coffee.exe helps. What else?

Nightmare pic for attention to warn you. ⚠️ Scammers are impersonating me. I’ll NEVER ask for donations via DM/WhatsApp/comments. Only legit site is my nixiepixel Patr3on there's no recent posts there. Re: Content- I had surgery last week, recovering now. More vids this week! 💾

Every single weekday, we hop in our cars, hit the same roads, follow the same route to work. Yet we never really see the same cars twice. It's like a constant, ever-changing parade of metal and rubber. Happy Monday!

Okay so once we're all cruising in self-driving cars, are windshield wipers going to be obsolete? I mean, the car doesn't care if it can "see" through a dirty window, only us humans do.

Imagine if our 24-hour clocks flipped the script, starting at 23:59 and ticking down to 00:01. Do you think we'd squeeze more out of every moment if we felt that sand slipping away? Oh yeah, happy Friday. 🤓

What can I do better to make Linux/tech tutorials work better as short form videos? I'd love your feedback since I'm new to the shorts game 🤓

Ever wonder why everything in Linux starts at /? Wonder if #linux tutorials work well in short form? The jury is still out, please let me know! 😂

If life were a video game, what kind of stats would you have? I think I'd seduce the tomato.

Don't forget, email almost killed the postal service. Then, ironically online delivery revived snail mail to be more needed than ever! Since today is Prime Day, it's a perfect time for an #ad on this epic book on how we can de-shittify the Internet😎:

Did you know that the original IBM PC shipped in 1981 with just 16 KB of RAM, about the size of a single emoji pack today? 🍿🤏😯

Why do our movie hearts beat for AI to become human, but in reality we seem to be against it? (pic credit @Detroit_Game)

PewDiePie is going hard into his privacy arc. 🕵️ Linux on desktop, GrapheneOS on the Pixel… What’s next? Mastodon? Self‑hosted Peertube? “Guys, I made my own YouTube…” YES PLEASE. I'm kind of over YT in 2025.😛
