This is genuinely great. I love the focus and attitude (but of course I do). I might actually use this to keep tabs on things.

I am going to be adding opinions (OpEds) from myself and guest writers around cultural decay, the decline of the internet, tech news etc. I do not want to make another reddit. I do not want to make another infinite scroll. I do not plan on making money from this. I'll take the hit. The internet is dying, at least I can try and help us before it's completely gone.

Nitpick: MacOS wasn't released first, OS/2 was. Apple System 1, however, was released the earliest.

And some of the questions are redundant because there's no list of already answered questions. I liked the questions though, they were fun to answer.

Oh wow, it must've gotten much worse than when I looked. I assumed there were filters

Nitpick: The "Light Speed Equiv" of the "Voyager 1 Progress Tracker" appears meaningless

This is almost hopeful in that it softens my lamentation that we're losing a whole generation of engineering labor to AI. It makes me realize that much of it was going to be wasted regardless.
