    My first typing was a game into C64 using machine code. Game magazines at that time dedicated a few pages with lines of hex numbers for games. After typing 4 pages you had a game.

    Unfortunately, I‘ve got my data tape recorder two month later for xmas. And mom was nervous about keeping the power on for days. I entered those numbers quite some times. Load„*“,8,1











  • In the slaughterhouse image you arguing with the consumer-demands-industry-follows-argument. That is way too easy and not true. Take emobility for example: did it scale because customers demanded it? Or does it because it was subsidued by the Government tonlower prices AND incentivized with tax reduction and special traffic permits?

    No, emobility was enforced and engaged by the Government. Neither customers nor industry was the lead. So, is the way with petrol and gas.

    I didn‘t get your last point. You are saying that Norway is producing more petrol and gas, are you? And then you claim, that it‘s not that bad because Russia reduced its oil production? Wtf is this? Whatsaboutism?

    Same as we produce mountains of carbon every year through oil and gas production. But it‘s not that bad because we all ride electric cars?







  • That is tbh a very US centric perspective. The decade Gen X grown up - youth in the 80ties and young adulthood in 90ties - is known for the break up of the Sovjetbloc. If that isn’t a big shake in life, I don’t know what else might have such an impact on lifestyle, thoughts, ownerships and behaviors.

    The longtail effects had disruptions to other regions in the world with unrest and uprisings for independence.

    And sure there have been conflicts as well. E.g. the North Ireland conflict with bombing in the UK. And there was the first nuclear disaster of Tschernobyl in 1986 causing angst in Europe.

    But at all, I‘d say these days were characterized by a positive mood and the feeling that people can change things.
