        @occult Olivia Newton-John is re-enacting the Lawnmower Man sequence when he's trying to get out of the mainframe to the world?

          @Haste Imagine thinking this illustration was appropriate for UNIX WORLD magazine in 1985, geared toward business users, not realizing that in 2026 it could be used as banner art for an LGBTQ+ self-hosted Mastodon instance.

          @occult @Haste just a little info missing in your alt : the shadow casted by the computer is that of a 5 1/4 inch floppy disk.

            @bromagosa @meeper @occult Exactly:
            01/2028: singularity
            02/2028: human writes prompt „create a hand-held device to control computers by colorful laser beams“
            03/2028: humankind finally happy again.

              @occult Almost perfectly predicted.
              But instead of fibre optic hats, we now wear aluminium hats.

                      @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.

                          @occult Bloody hell, I loved those #Wyse terminals. I'd love to get my hands on one now. Obviously we won't be needing keyboards in 2029, but those were nice too.
