i love to be infantilized by people who are adamant they are the first and only people to tell me i shouldn't be putting a windows xp computer on the internet

RDPing from a windows xp computer into a windows 10 computer is not something that feels like it should be possible, and yet

A new article from me:
I’ve been around for decades of discourse about the GIMP, and it’s high time to retire this conversation forever. I’ll contribute my last word on it:

"Jack, we've heard about Apple's new 'folding' smartphone, which is expected to sell for around $2,000. How will Atari compete in that space?"

"Our folding phone will be more powerful, easier to use, less expensive, and available through mass-market retailers. And you can be damn sure any money we make from our phones won't be used to finance Nazis."

In researching my next issue, I've been reviewing several articles about a CEO from the late 80s/early 90s who happens to be a trans woman. What's interesting is that none of the articles mentioned she's trans. Some mentioned that she's a lesbian, but none of the writers thought her being trans was notable. And there were several articles written about her before she transitioned, so it wasn't some big secret.

Could you imagine how she'd be covered now? On second thought, maybe don't.

hey remember when i joined the fediverse and tried to make friends with the popular accounts here and they told me to go fuck myself and then managed to convince random strangers who never interacted with me that i'm some big demonic dangerous abuser without a shred of evidence for it and then they turned out to be incredibly transphobic and nine years later my online social life is still fucked

do you have friends? how did you make them? do you ever go less than a whole day without actually speaking to another person? how do you do it? will you teach me? i can pay you

the internet didn't use to feel this lonely there used to be public chats that always had something going on and now nobody talks to me and i fall into desolate despair because i'm a traumatized fucking mess who can't make friends anymore because everybody is scared of talking to each other

@jk collectible slight variations of my ass a la bored ape

i think there's something wrong with alterspring because i'm not receiving any questions
