Oh, no worries! Good of you to fix it.

I took this headline to mean that Apple did something nefarious with a Telegram channel. I didn’t realize it was a link to an actual telegram channel talking about actively exploited stuff.

It didn’t “predict” anything.

I think every single generation does that when they’re young. They freak out the old folks. Eventually they become the old folks, and then younger generations are freaking them out.

It’s like we forget how the boomers were criticized for their rock-n-roll music (huge amounts of panic). We forget that Gen X’ers were supposed to be a bunch of disaffected slackers. Rinse. Repeat.

It’s a choice to participate in the moral panic du jour, you know. I think Gen Z will end up being just fine, just like everyone else.

I played City of Heroes back before World of Warcraft came out. It was so much fun and I belonged to an active supergroup that was cool, but it all seemed to die off when WoW came around. Everyone left and I never did get another social group formed and ended up not playing anymore.

And then I found EVE Online ….

I wish there was more than one here in Indianapolis.

Exciting!

I’ve been reading through Asimov’s books related to this universe, and have been loving it.
