the willingness to concede space to the enemy is both a weakness and a moral failure, i want to have nothing to do with it

@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems I certainly don't think that sliding back into the 80s is the answer on anything, but I'm curious what things that people are proposing or doing now count as sliding back into the 80s for you.

@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems My Unix desktop sort of lives in the 80s¹ and I don't recommend anyone move in with me who isn't rather eccentric in a specific way. And I still use KDE and etc programs, I'm not a purist. ¹ it's fvwm3 with a minimalistic custom setup that traces its design back that far. Fortunately I never have to let co-workers try to drive it because they would fail spectacularly. At least half of it runs on my muscle memory alone, don't ask me what I'm actually typing or chord-clicking.
