Thanks for the suggestion! I wouldn't mind having such articles in PO! tbh - let me think what can we do about it (or rather: let me pass this to the rest of the team so they think about it too).
replylike Mondo 2000 :)
replyI still have my Mondo 2000 zine. It was literally a futurist guidebook for cyberpunk of today.
Better living through chemistry, memes, cybernetics were all predicted by Mondo.
replyWow cool. I have not heard of Mondo 2000 reading hn for almost 20 years. And did not realize Boing Boing was so old. Makes me wonder what else existed.
replyMy family had a bunch of "Dr. Dobb’s Journal of Computer Calisthenics & Orthodontia"[0] and similar things (BYTE, COMPUTE!). (Which seem slightly dryer, but maybe more like Paged Out.)

TIL :D
replySadly I don't know if that kind of 80s/90s irreverence would go well with today's sensitivities.
replythat's the point! we got so concerned with creating a safe space for everyone that can't possible offend we lost site of the community building intent. The crux is to have people self-select without offending them, but IMO it's not a binary goal.
