France has flirted with far right nationalism for at least 25 years, fyi

17+ years for me. November would be 18. Since the exodus, Reddit looks like a shadow of itself, but that could be that I only see the frontpage now. What a shame.

Pee-roo!

If it helps at all, AC capacitors are extremely easy to replace, so if you had an extra or two on hand, that might save you some headache and money later. Tell you friends. I hope you can stay cool!

Cory Doctorow bookends my use of reddit. About 20 years ago I started to read him at boingboing, where I learned about del.icio.us (he had an obsession with “folksonomy”, or organization by user-created tags), the social bookmarking site. From there I learned of reddit and made an account soon after that was possible (it was just the frontpage for a bit). That was 5 Nov 2005, and while I thought I would stay until or after my account was old enough to vote in the US, I’ve let it go. I was user #497, same username as here. Finally, Cory D’s concept of enshittification has found it’s apotheosis, and it’s a bittersweet goodbye for me.

Thanks for reading. Keep it human.
