Found a picture of my computer in fourth year university, April 2003. Note the winamp, trillium (icq mostly), opera browser and, of course, the crt monitor balanced on a stack of programming books. #retrocomputing

I asked #DeepSeek its thoughts on chinese censorship. It answered with a long, thoughtful pros/cons (see screenshot for the last bit I was able to capture), and then it all vanished and was replaced with "Sorry, that's beyond my current scope. Let’s talk about something else." LOL
