i did find it kind of amusing hearing millennials describing the “before Internet” days. Hehe Gen X here. 😉 I didn’t even see my first ‘modem (300baud) until I was in my early teens. The ye old days of BBS’es. 🤣 My 10 year old is mystified about a world before tablets and internet and phone supercomputers.

Sone fun behind the scenes info though! I had no idea ther eas a way to simulate reduced speeds. I’ll have to try that. And uBlock Origin! Definitely going to install that.

been listening to this and even though I know barely anything about FOSS I am very much enjoying the product design chat.

@whylamb That's AWESOME! I think that merely listening to Mike speak inspires some people to be programmers 😄

looking from the outside it can seem like programming is some sort of magic but hearing people speak about it brings it back to earth
