At first I though computers were evil, something man wasn't supposed to mess with. Then I bought a TRS-80 and programmed in BASIC and then Z80 assembly language. In a job, I graduated to DEC minicomputers, RT-11, RMS-11 and even had to do some Fortran. I did everything in C for the web. But now I think computers are evil again, when used for certain things that deplete resources and pollute the planet.

More on "everything is evil"; a positive thought. Yes, not only is the Internet enshitified, but businesses and most of the world needs a reset. What has not changed in my observation, is people. That is face to face interaction. I walk everywhere, we have no car, or, I take public transportation. I meet with friends as often as possible. We are subjected 24/7 to malaise on the Internet. Understandable, but not healthy. People are a remedy, even a smile exchanged on the street is golden.
