I did once, for about nine months when I was 18.

Then an exorcism happened, I became doubtful and finally stopped believing.

12 years I think for my imekon account on reddit.

I deleted mine by hand, they still returned. I’ve taken to editing them and replacing the text with [deleted]. Seems to be working better for now.

My main system is Windows, I’m a Windows developer. My older machines are Linux - because Windows runs like a dog on them and no longer supports them.

from what I’ve seen about Tesla, reliability is a factor. Here’s a quote from Which, a good place for reviews in the UK: “Tesla cars garner a lot of hype for their innovations, but reliability isn’t one of their strengths, according to our annual survey of owners. In our latest reliability survey, the Tesla Model 3 performed well in a number of areas. However, the fact that 28% of owners experienced at least one fault (well above the average) consigns the Model 3 to a three-star score for reliability.”

I wrote to Texas Instruments and they sent me back a paperback book describing every TTL chip from 7400 upwards. I read it cover to cover and learned quite a bit about TTL logic back then. I used TTL as the glue logic getting everything going, as well as 68xx and 65xx series chips to cover all sorts, like ACIAs, PIOs and video controlllers.

The internet did not exist back then. Even though I worked for a large American computer company with their own private network (text only), still no internet as such. It was called books and libraries back then. Oh… and no Amazon either.

I worked on DECmate - the PDP8 system that DEC had for wordprocessing. I learnt the machine code instructions to support the software.

300baud from work. Fun times logging in with it. Eventually moved to 2400baud.

Mine was No Man’s Sky…

I remember when they took a group photo of all the people involved with the racing games at Codemasters. Around 600 of us… someone commented, “who are all these people?”. Well, programmers (AI/Phyisic/Audio/etc), Artists, Sound Engineers, Producers, HR…

And there were women as well. Yes, that’s right, women develop games as well. There’s one of my team.

Seems pretty reasonable, even the federated stuff works fine - unlike Mastodon, oddly.

I’m debating it, but deleting content seems pretty much a lot of work.

me too… though not sure how long on reddit
