OPPAI ORACLE

I refuse to surrender my agency to a facile reductive autocomplete on steroids which lacks qualia and is thus incapable of making real architectural decisions or value judgements.

A delightful exercise in true computing minimalism from a time and place long forgotten.

When I tried accessing the stream, I got this in the embed.

In the interest of providing access to nice things on the internet without the gatekeeping search engines and mainstream SNS confer, this thread will be a gathering place for anything on the internet which is of real interest. Note the usage of *internet* here, because the inaugural posts won't ...
