It’s never too late. As long as you have bootstraps, you can use them to pull yourself up.

Well of course! My camera is a 2010 model (and a cheap one at that!) and the place where I took the picture probably looks the same since the early '80s. Photos snapped with with 00’s tech look like they belong in that era. I can’t put my finger on it, but I think it’s the colour palette. Pics taken with high-end smartphones these days have this weird, plasticky, instagrammy, fake looking aesthetic to them. 10 years from now, you’ll be able to look at them and say “That somehow looks like the 2020’s”.

I haven’t listened to Porcupine Tree in a while, thanks. It feels a bit sacrilegious listening to them on YouTube, guess I’ll have to go find my old mp3 player haha.

The android/iOS duopoly is consolidating. No one will want to develop their apps for a third platform, especially if it’s an obscure one. Remember Windows 8/8.1/10 Mobile? If Microsoft couldn’t get people to develop apps for their platform, what chance does some tiny development team have? Especially when there’s little to no financial incentive.

I’m also sceptical of android compatibility solutions. You can bet that banking apps will eventually try to break compatibility “for security reasons”. We’re not winning any games of cat and mouse here.

I’ve also given up on the franchise. We’ve had our TNG, DS9 and VOY, but enough is enough. We’ve had a good run. I’ve only watched the new stuff because of the Star Trek branding, but it sure didn’t feel like Trek. Except for SNW (which respects the old formula for the most part) and LD (which is just meta humour that non-trekkies wouldn’t enjoy), the newer series were just mediocre sci-fi at best. It’s tiring and every time I put on a new episode I feel like I’d rather be doing something else. It feels like trying to give a crap about all the pokemon that came after the original 151.
