"NOT BACK TO NORMAL FORWARD TO BETTER! consider this to be your friendly reminder that even if your feed is back to 'normal' we should not go back to normal. Normal wasn’t working, normal wasn’t healthy, normal wasn’t safe. Our society had normalized racism, greed, violence, complete exhaustion & capital gain at the expense of others." - https://www.instagram.com/p/CEZbak1JGn-/

Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, has passed away at 94.

In 1965, he predicted that the number of transistors that could be placed on a silicon chip would double at regular intervals into the foreseeable future, increasing data-processing power exponentially. This came to be called Moore’s Law.

Moore later added that the evolving technology would make computers more expensive to build, but consumers would be able to pay less bc so many would be sold. nytimes.com/2023/03/24/obituar

A couple months ago tech executives were decrying that they could not find sufficient staff or staff were quiet quitting.

Now all of the tech companies are layoff staff in droves.

Microsoft - 10,000
Amazon - 27,000
Salesforce - 9,000
Google - 12,000

Well I guess it has to be done since revenue is down. Wait revenues are not down?

Well profits must be down. Wait profits are not down?

The best-kept retro-mac secret is that the following web sites exist:

system6.app/
system7.app/
macos8.app/
macos9.app/

If you ever wanted to play with an old MacOS, this is the least effort to get started.

We updated RSA host keys at #GitHub

You can run:

ssh-keygen -R github.com

to update your known hosts. This command should fix any of the host key or MITM warnings you will inevitably see using git or ssh.
