  • I think it’s a mixed bag. The new show is OK but I would probably read the manga first if you’ve seen the 90s show but haven’t read the manga yet.

    This is basically “yet another take on Trigun” so it shares elements of both the old anime and the manga (Trigun + Trigun Maximum) but remixes it.

    I think the direction could be better and the music isn’t as good as the original show, but it’s fun if you go in with the right expectations.








  • Even 2FA, I mostly don’t use email anymore in favor of other more secure 2FA methods.

    School, beats me, bit work is mostly chat based these days imo with slack. Granted, I do have email for invoices, but I was mostly talking about email as a communication tool, not a document management system. I’d be perfectly fine with sending people cloud links to Google drive if they accepted it.


  • Job uses slack, rocketchat or discord. I have a work email that is so separate from personal email that it basically doesn’t count (because there’s no spam there.) HOA and Bank sends old fashioned mail, and also isn’t critical to me as I have websites for both. Receipts I wouldn’t really consider communication, but even then most receipts I save personally.

    Seriously, email is kind of old fashioned and isn’t really used for communication between real people. You can see how most of what you’re talking about is effectively “documents” and not real communication right?

    Most I use email for discussion in 2025 is mailing lists but those are usually for old phogey FOSS projects.



  • Uh, I was going to graduate from highschool in a year and Obama was running and we were all pumped for Medicare for all (you can guess how that went)

    Overall it was a good year but mired with a lot of negatives. The economy crashed, college tuition went skyhigh and cost of living went up like crazy. I was lucky to have family to help support me through that period, though family has also been the only thing keeping me together the last 10 years as well so I suppose it isn’t that different. As a 17 year old at the time, I didn’t care too much.

    The internet was much more hopeful and diverse back then. Explaining to people how different the Internet is now compared to 20 years ago is extremely humbling but also incredibly concerning. It feels like we’ve failed to teach the next generation how to approach the internet.












  • Yikes, this god damn timeline.

    Needless to say, you’re literally better off coming to the fediverse and talking to us than talking to an AI about thoughts of suicide. He had a therapist, he should have trusted them over some snake oil sold for the investment class. If you, yourself, need help, make sure to treat yourself well and find someone real to talk to instead of fake bots.

    Bah, the fact that the AI helped push him toward suicide instead of away from it shows just how misanthropic this whole tech space is. Needless deaths, needless thefts and an immeasurable pile of grief as we walk a circuit guided path to a dark inhumane future. RIP
