> There have always been people around who embrace anachronism,

TBH I love tech from the 1990s and before: CGI, terminals, sixels etc and I refuse to carry a cellphone (though it's ok to have one at home, plugged 24/7)

I didn't realize it before, but I now I can see how I embrace being anachronistic :)

That’s just good taste, technology peaked in the 90’s, before dark patterns infected everything. The 40’s were a while ago.

I'm not fully retro (I use Wayland for hyprland) but I'm sure there must have been some great stuff in the 1940s.

It's just that I don't know it. Maybe if I did, I would love it like he does?
