Luckily I believe in a version of heaven that has unlimited computers. I would spend eternity writing Rust and Haskell without worrying about deadlines or running out of Ram.

    I believe if there is a heaven and I end up there, I'll be surrounded by computers I can play with on end without anyone bothering me. If there's a hell and I end up there, I'll be surrounded by people who need help with their computer.

    There's no dead person out there complaining that they spent too much time in a computer...

    I almost thought to myself "I can't be bothered to watch a YouTube short", but then I thought "I can't be bothered to press Back to get out of it, either".

    I am so glad that I didn't miss that, it gets better and better.

    Unless heaven and hell turn out to be real. One you get to have fun on the computer for eternity, the other you get stuck doing IT for old people for eternity.

    You can't access your file system, settings or install anything manually, only prompt slop-pilot to do it for you

    I suspect you're roughly my age because of the use of "puter".

    I feel old amongst gen z and often feel stuck in between younger zoomers and millennials. Going from VHS to DVDs to Blue-ray to streaming throughout your childhood was absolutely wild. I went from never using computers at age 6, to smartphones being commonplace in highschool. People only a bit younger than me grew up with easy access to internet being the norm, while it isn't that uncommon for people my age to have grown up with dial-up. It felt like the internet grew up with me in the sense that it hasn't radically changed since I came of age. What a weird time to have been born.

    Tech peaked in the mid 2010s and it's been all downhill since. The only noticable graphical improvements in the last decade have been faces. The way we interact with each other hasn't changed much, and some memes from back then still feel modern. Formats haven't changed. Work hasn't really changed. It's all so normal now, only everything keeps getting degraded by capitalists capitalizing on their market dominance.

    Only AI is "new," but the main way it changes our lives is by being an excuse to take even more from us. It hasn't killed the internet because we're all still here and still want to interact with each other. It just augments what people were already able to do at best, while spamming slop trying to exploit you the rest of the time.

    I resonate so much with your perspective. I still enjoy my little corner of content creators on YT but I've been sad lately about how AI is actively trying to rob genuine human connections from us. Everyone's paranoid now including myself. Arguments regularly break out in the comments about the content being AI or not. We've grown so wary of each other. Back then I'd just refrain from using my real name and enjoy the virtual conversations.

    I feel you. I'm at the limit between milennial and gen z and since I had mostly second hand stuff when little I relate to both gen z and millennials.

    Oh well that's younger than i expected as an early millenial, but i think of "puter" as a term from that cross-generational group i've heard described as "analogue childhood digital adolescence". If you were also watching vhs as a kid it sounds like that includes you.

    Do you remember, IRC, the sweet song of the modem and the pain of a parent picking up the phone while you were online? That's what i think of when i hear Puter.
