Jealous. N64 is the only retro console I always wanted and never managed to collect. I have NES, SNES, Genesis, Dreamcast, but never managed to get a n64.

Yes. And so am I. Deal with it.

Eh, idk about that. Matrix has been around for a few years now, and I don’t think it’s going anywhere. Now, is it likely to ever be as big as Twitter/Facebook/reddit? Probably not. But, I’m not sure that was ever really the goal either.

I guess I’m all 3. I’m 39, tech enthusiast (tho I’ve long since given up on working in the industry), and have been using and occasionally contributing to the Linux community since the mid-90s.

My husband is afaik, still just on reddit. idk if he’s moved to the official app on his phone (he was a rif guy for years) or what he’s doing tbh. But, he’s not really a geek 😁

Same. I actually have a family account, which has been an absolute blessing with kids. They know their own passwords now and no longer come to me wanting/needing to know their password for Xbox/Gmail/playstation/whatever everyother damned day. Also, if they need to know the Netflix password, they can check it too, because that’s shared with them. It’s brilliant. I’m honestly not sure how I lived without bittwarden.

For fucks sake…

Coulda, shoulda, woulda…

Yup. Every once in a blue moon I wish I still had my Twitter. But not enough to make a new one.

Neither am I. But, the problems that are, and will be created by falling birth rates and a smaller population overall, are real too. That can’t be denied.

Now, are they unsurmountable? No. Should they be talked about? Yes. Locally, the high/middle school was over built just a few years ago. It’s already clear it’s far bigger than we need now, or are likely to need for many, many, many years - maybe ever. (Our ‘average class’ size has fallen from ~200 to barely 120-30, at best… In just a few years. With no signs of ever improving.)
