it's funny how sometimes one misremembers how old one is because the perception of whether someone is older gets lagged behind. like it just saw someone who's 27 and its next queued process was "ah, older than it"

it's 32 years old.

@NanoRaptor nowhere near the "most" of things i own, but this made me think about how i'm probably one of the last few people with multiple (3 in this case) Chumby devices, and an active subscription to blue octy to keep them functional

that is the only way i can reason every single way in which i've been betrayed and abused

meeting "computer people" as someone whose only friend for their youngest formative years was the computer, was the mistake. if the computer is the only friend you have you cannot trust other people who said the computer is the only friend they had too. they're the enemy

computers are deeply, intimately personal to me, and i feel fucking desolate right now

computers were a mistake not because of the computer. computers were a mistake because they attracted the worst in the worst people and hurt the normal people like me in the sidelines

reflecting on this, this goes beyond just retrocomputing as a hobby. some of these people i've known for over a decade and have had to cut ties with because of AI deepthroating unveiling red flags i should've seen years ago. a huge chunk of my social life (whatever left is of it after years of sexual harassment and DARVO targeted at me) is just gone. i am so tired

it's surprising how little the average fediverse user cares about personal boundaries
