I just watched a wonderful documentary about the life of a group of senior musicians living in the retirement home for artists in Milan, Italy, created by famous opera composer Giuseppe Verdi. https://www.jolt.film/watch/vivaverdi?utm_medium=paid&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=viva_verdi_award_voters_gs&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23508119916&gbraid=0AAAAA9UUJykNUJcS862HRss0MFoYyjnuE&gclid=Cj0KCQiAqeDMBhDcARIsAJEbU9Qxw6cJKIr6KFETK68YNsaAy0JkJZ7dTeE9aC7M06Y0QSTnmuwrAu8aAsJDEALw_wcB

@inguin@nerdculture.de I am pulled by nostalgia, but then realize that I can play many of those games on Steam or GOG with my current laptop.

Why are we attracted to #retrogaming and #RetroComputing? Is it nostalgia? Is it the idea of disconnected devices? Is it the quality of old-school games?

A request for the already great @ivory@tapbots.social. #mastodon is filled with great content and I’d love a way to easily bookmark posts and add them to bookmark’s lists. I would have a list for retrogaming, one for illustration, one for comics, etc.

Today I was thinking about the U.S. Constitution, how its interpretation affects our life and rights, and how courts spend so much time trying to understand what a bunch of guys wrote more than 300 years ago! That sounds like a religion or cult. Why should I live my life based on what someone said hundreds or thousands of years ago? It’s nonsense. The constitution should expire every 10 years and our life and rights should be shaped by new rules that capture our current society’s values.
