FB says this was ten years ago. I'm still using this rig - runs as good as the day I built it. Seems like yesterday. And forever ago.

Wow. I heard about this man when I was a kid. He took a more sensible approach to the subject matter, which sadly is more conspiracy-rich than theory or fact-based like it was when he started. He'll be missed. #ErichVonDaniken #AncientAliens

Bad enough having to reconfigure for a new OS, gotta hunt for a new browser too. Still... gotta take a moment to laugh. #Firefox #AI

Ergh... Just when I get this thing tweaked the way I want it. So many of the other browsers suck so HARD. I don't know what's worse - forcing myself to get back into coding so I can write my own OS, or forcing myself to get back into coding so I can write my own browser... #Firefox

I just can't with this friggin' year. This man did as much to inspire my imagination with sci-fi adventures as anyone else in the industry - moreso than some. By all accounts a good man. He will be missed. #GiGerard #BuckRogers

This is the same chucklefuck who said we wouldn't ever need more than 640K of RAM, so as someone who has been career IT for as long as the general public has been listening to this man speak, I'll be taking what he says with that very specific grain of salt. #BillGates #AI #2DayWorkWeek

More like, "...is hiding in traffic you WON'T block." Grateful I don't use #GoogleDrive. I don't use any form of cloud storage. But then, I'm one of the few people who seems to understand that "the cloud" is just someone else's computer - and all that entails.

Wow. "As of today, Studio GAINAX (Gurren Lagann, Neon Genesis Evangelion) has officially ceased to exist, marking the end of 42 years of influential anime history as its bankruptcy process comes to a close." All rights to Gainax’s past works have now been transferred to their rightful creators."

Elegant proof that there are people who pay way more attention to Sydney Sweeney's chest than I do (and while I like Ms. Sweeney's chest, I must admit that I never would have picked up on that...)

Well... that's... polite of them. But I honestly hadn't even thought about #WINS since about 1996? Not that #DNS isn't fun in its own unique way. What admin in their right mind wants to deal with both? Not going to miss this component (mostly because I completely forgot about it).
