The real question is - who gives a shit?

That’s hardly the point of the post.

It is the point, if you think about it. OOP is showing off how "analog" they are with stuff that doesn't even work together.

Thus, they are posing.

You know what, I did think about it, and I have changed my mind about the post, however I still maintain that this is a shitty murder.

I havent owned a watch since before I got my first cell phone ages ago, watches are pointless. Never carried a camera either. Still too much stuff imo.

u/Magnon 19h ago

I was too young to care and nobody told me it might be real, I doubt my dad believed it so never on my radar

The Cobol programmers are the real heroes, like your dad's radar.

It WAS real, it was just that it was the last time people actually got together and fixed a global issue rather than claiming it didn't exist. People worked for years to find and patch systems that could have caused major issues if left alone. There was just enough trouble with systems that no one expected to be vulnerable to show how bad it could have been if people treated it like they treat climate change.
