"Selling Out Is Bad" is a valuable concept and despite all the baggage and bullshit and elitism it could contain it's actually really good to reinforce the ideal that having integrity when it matters, especially when it hurts, is what good/cool people do. Should be adapted instead of jettisoned.

Picotron outpacing Microsoft and Apple
WIP #picotron anywhen:// listings: a single file can be viewed as a folder containing every point in time it was modified (by month/day).
The different versions are treated just like regular files and can be run straight out of the anywhen:// folder (as in the gif).

It always felt super silly that AM/FM radios aren't integrated into like every computer.
Like why can't I listen to the radio on my phone or laptop? How much extra would it be to integrate it into a SoC?

The US and Israel are— have been for years— operating on a theory that one can do anything at all to the state of Iran and there are never any consequences. In Trump's first term, he committed multiple open acts of war against Iran; probably it should have been predictable he'd do it in his second.

What do real New Yorkers put on their bagel?
Trick question. The authentic way is to order 1 dozen bagels in a brown paper bag and then immediately swallow each one without chewing
