Just turned 69 last week and I feel the same way. One difference for me is, because I'm retired, I can use Claude to explore things in ways and at a speed I never could before without any pressure. It truly feels like the old days of learning and working with all those early languages and all the discovery and sense of exploring new frontiers.

1. Regularly 2. Digital 3. Never 4. Pretty much everything that comes into my head that I cannot immediately dispatch or resolve.

I'll have to go check out "Blue Max" -- remember the movie but haven't seen it in years. My favorites: "Last of the Mohicans" soundtrack by Trevor Jones and Randy Edelman; "Inception" by Hans Zimmer; "Interstellar" by Hans Zimmer

I find this topic particularly interesting. I've often said to others that software, in itself, is a general abstraction of one or more complex tasks. The whole point of software is to hide complexity and make possible, in a hopefully simpler manner, doing things that would otherwise be very difficult or impossible. Despite what users may experience, the complexity remains but becomes hidden.

LocalSend. Been using it for a month or more and fits well my occasional transfer needs and is nice that it works the same way on all platforms I use. I have five network shares on my server for general access from all other systems. Platforms: Android, LinuxMint, Fedora, Windows.

What a great idea! It could definitely help expand vocabulary. One would still need other tools to increase hearing recognition.

Yep #enshitification engaged.

The headline is erroneous and flame worthy. There is without question an issue with loneliness in the world (not just the USl but it has nothing to do with what is actually labeled the"American Dream" (the ability to put in effort and succeed). There are plenty of people who spend time alone without being lonely.

Yes. Thanks, thanatos519 for providing the corrected link and thank you bj-rn for the original post. Fascinating!

Grateful, yes, for rediscovering this great resource for interesting news. So many other sources have succumbed to sensationalism and have become mostly "click bait". Thank you to all the contributors, the admins and developers, and everyone who makes this enjoyable resource popular.
