These days the tech industry feels like the Titanic, except it's the middle of the day and every passenger and sailor on board can clearly see the iceberg. But if you mention it to the captain or any of his officers they scream back at you WAIT UNTIL THE NEW MODEL THIS TECHNOLOGY IS INEVITABLE YOU DON'T WANT TO BE LEFT BEHIND FULL STEAM AHEAD.
But the iceberg is still there and doesn't really care about the opinions of a bunch of delusional middle-aged men with text generators for girlfriends.

Yes, information on the internet may have been untrue before. But at least the untrueness was either deliberate or potentially correctible by discussion with the author. Now it's just like fuck knows.

Some thoughts on turning fifty as a man who didn't expect to (and often didn't want to) survive until twenty.
@whitequark @ratsnakegames @mcc The Scandinavian languages have a similar thing. A vacuum cleaner is a dust sucker. A refrigerator is a cooling closet. An airplane is a flying machine. A television is completely literally translated: It's a remote sight. In Norwegian, a computer is a data machine.
(Icelandic, a non-Scandinavian Nordic language, has some even more awesome constructs: A computer is a "tölva", a portmanteau of "töl" (number) and "völva" (viking age witch/seeress) - so it's a "number witch"!)
