I watched the Adam Friedland interview with Clavicular yesterday, and Gen Z is so fucked. I realize not all of them are like that, but that someone like Clavicular has gained any traction is a sign the youth is not alright.

I don’t think many of them actually take Clavicular seriously. Gen Z culture seems to be all about “inside jokes” that everyone knows and self-aware lolcows. It’s annoying, and I’m glad they all had their teens stolen by Covid. They deserve it.

The only place I hear anything about that guy is on lefty podcasts and streams, I tend to avoid most social media so I'm not exactly tapped in to that shit but it kind of feels like the reactive coverage is his biggest boost. I tune in to chapo and hasan and friedland and denims and seder and holy shit I'm so sick of hearing about this irrelevant fucked up kid on all of their shows.

As an early GenZ myself, the only consolation I have is that I still had a pretty un-GenZ childhood and the lack of that rot will likely give me a competitive advantages going forward.

I've known adventures, seen places you people will never see, I've been on university work terminals and back... frontiers! I've stood on the back deck of Usenet bound for Mosaic with sweat in my eyes watching Netscape Navigator fight on the shoulder of the internet... I've felt wind in my hair, riding Lynx off of monochrome monitors and seen usegroups burn like a match and disappear. I've seen it, felt it...!
The true measure of your worth: do you prefer amber, green, or true B&W?
Pretty sure the first C prompt I ever encountered was amber. Will always have a soft spot for it.

Tom and I go way back. He's never so much as given you that over the shoulder smile.
Friends, hear my story…
In the days of old, the days where 300 baud modems were bought by us, the Early Adopters, there were meetings in dark places where code was exchanged on cassette, to be loaded from our tape drives, to create a new BBS, and you - yes you, dear reader - could be your very own SysOp. A king! Let them fall before you as you interrupted their email to live chat. Behold a world where encryption dare not tread, and you, My SysOp, could read the thoughts of all your subjects! Enter a universe where mom picking up the phone downstairs, only to be greeted with digital screeching, turned your conversations into garbled, alien characters before your eyes!
This is where it began. This is where I began. And thus shall I endure, today, tomorrow, and all tomorrows. The lore is mine and mine alone to carry.
Post on, dear friends. I did all this for you.

I remember my CompuServe id. I remember the sequence to kick the operator off a call and jump into AT&T's switching network for the free calls. A 300 baud modem was the shit in 85. Most these fetuses have no idea how anything works and what I used to do to get a connection would make their mind explode.
My ICQ number was 737916. A hacker stole it 20 years ago because I thought, "why would anyone want this?" and used the password "buddha" for some reason.
I loved that platform. Those were innocent days by comparison.
Wish I could have gotten that number back.
