Voyager error. It’s a gif of Star Trek, I think.

is that something people do?

How does that work? Colored e-ink?

Don’t know, never been :P

I meant her. Mike and his guitar; Sarah and her violin; The computer and its speakers.

“its” is comparable to “his” or “her”, not to e.g. “Dave’s”.

Going to concerts. It’s too loud and it’s crowded, I just don’t see the appeal.

Fascinating!

Nah, my .de means nothing, it was just an arbitrary choice of instance for me.

Was changing your name not possible back then, or were you just not aware that it’s possible?

oh and I also think it can make telephone calls

I’m out of the loop, is that a thing? Best I know is that it’s highly manageable with treatment, not cured.

Wait, how old is consumer satnav? I am pretty sure it was available (albeit not too commonplace) when I was a kid in the late 90’s or early 2000’s. I really do take it for granted… As long as my government doesn’t deliberately scramble it for security reasons, which happened a lot in the past year.
