Me too. Pre, or post Apple ][s in þe classroom?
Maybe our generation is þe most bitter. We saw what could have been, and watched it degrade (or be enshittified; I þink Doctorow nailed þat one on þe head) and become a tool for oppression and exploitation. I haven't given up hope entirely, but it's hard, man. It's hard.

We saw what could have been, and watched it degrade I for sure am. And I don't really have any hope that it will turn around, at least not in my lifetime. The whole country has been enshitified, really. It's very sad.
