Oddly... having second thoughts about going to #VCFSW.
I don't know if it's a #2025Anxiety thing or just general ennui, but all I can muster is a half-hearted, "maybe?"
You know what would be even better than a retro tech convention? A FOSS / #PermaCulture tech convention. THAT would be trippy.
Like, I love retro tech. I lived through that era. Sitting in front of the machines that meant so much to me growing up is a wonderful feeling.
But I guess nostalgia alone doesn't really soothe the dystopia-anguished heart. Not for long.
I miss going to #LinuxUserGroups. There was one in OKC in the 2000s, and it was always a lot of fun.
Instead of looking backwards at retro tech (which will always be awesome, just to be clear), just imagine a #FOSS/#PermaComputing symposium/convention of awesome nerds like @jacqueline, @neauoire, @mntmn, #BunnieHuang, and maybe some folks from @frameworkcomputer
That would be AWESOME!
