@occult Thanks to Linux I've been computing like that since 1995

@occult I saw this without context… it would be great to have linked to archive.org
Seems confirmed real, not AI. https://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/28374/Unix-World-March-1985/

@occult Absolutely unrealistic.
Everyone knows that it's BLUE waves of light that control computers!

@occult Ooh! I admin'd a Gould PN6040 starting around 1986!
A lovely 32-bit machine built around the AMD 2900 bit slice parts. Ran straight-up BSD 4.3 unix. 8MB RAM, an internal 8" 150MB disk, and we got another 150MB drive that was a giant CDC 14" drive with a belt drive and a spindle motor as big as a washing machine motor.

Why wait till 2029. Laser your computer rn!!

@occult Every new language, tool, platform, library, and framework in the last 40 years was going to cut development time in half. Must be close to zero already even without Claude.
