Man, besides being slow; I really miss those days.

I could say I was "into computers" and it meant something. Eternal September ruined it.

I was thinking the other day that the AI bot infested internet we have now is some sort of Eternal December that is even worse than Eternal September. But we never get Christmas.

Eternal september is more of a concept than a real thing; you had to have seen that by now; almost everything gets ruined when there's no discriminating force.

You just need more esoteric hobbies.

What's hot (or "not yet hot" rather) these days?

[inigyou]

Whatever it is, if it's computer-related, it's certainly been overrun by marketing companies.

How about amateur chemistry? Or ham radio?

[embedding-shape]

Yeah, that first part is certainly how it feels.

Thanks for the recommendations and for being taken seriously :) Chemistry is actually something I have considered before, so not so far out there. Thanks!

May as well ask how to fake authenticity.
