@Armchaircouch have you tried a url-shortener? Long shot probably but 🤷

@dietotaku Haagen-Dasz is pretty expensive. For the going rate you could probably get 3 store-brand pints for the price of 1 Haagen-Dasz

@EvilBunny don't underestimate them, however. Yes they may be intelligence-deprived, but what they do have is rabid dedication and an unchallenged bloodlust.

Can't believe I hadn't watched "My deer friend Nokotan" until it was uploaded to youtube. Best four and a half hours I'll spend this month tbh.

One day I'm going to look back at all the opportunities to do this or that, but here in the moment I don't see choices but rather a narrow road to which I must follow or fall behind.

@Bix I've been using internet archive for years now. Drivers to esoteric computers manufactured by companies that have since gone under? Got it. Manuals that show you how to use any device in your home? On there. The Dorito's brand website from 2003? Yep.

Boggles the mind how this benefits anyone.

@ecksmc Honestly it's pretty hard to say anything bad about archive.org considering the sheer quantity of human knowledge accessible to anyone with an internet connection.

@ecksmc anyone with an account with archive.org should change their passwords ASAP.

For info this is who is taking responsibility for the breach:

Being a North Carolinian hearing people talk about North Carolina who really should not be is like being from NYC hearing someone call it "The city where Dreams come to Life"

@Kaysymmetry

@redenigma as someone in their 20's I actually find it interesting how different generations use various generational "slang". Gen alpha of course has words like "Rizz", but my generation- Gen Z uses words like "cap" and "bussin". It's neat to be able to see things like that just in their speech.

I'm not a prescriptivist, linguistically. Yes, it's good to standardize a language but we should also keep in mind that languages change and evolve over time. What was once Latin is now the Romance languages of Spanish, French, Italian, etc.. To think that a language /must/ be spoken in one way is simply untrue, as language is a method of human expression like any other. We don't place restrictions on art, so who's to say that someone's wrong because they say "rizz" instead of charisma?

I will be subtly changing the seconds hand on your digital watch

@danielbsmith however upon looking into it further there do seem to be fan recreations using Blender which I actually quite like as well.

Thanks!

@danielbsmith unfortunately it's actually quite hard to find a good library of old wallpapers like this. The archive I nabbed this image from only had this particular image in 4:3.

Thanks for the tips though! I super appreciate it!

Just watched "Archive 81" on Netflix last night. So good!

@Vilamundi awesome vibes these have

I really like the old Windows 3.1 type wallpapers. I wish I was better at photo manipulation so I could fix the resolution to be 1600x900 like my laptop is.
