C'est dingue qu'une petite boite de moins de dix personnes comme The Designers Republic a juste défini la culture Y2K (plus précisément le mouvement Vectorheart), ça me rappelle mon enfance avec tous ces sites tendances quand Flash Player est sorti haha

Having "survived" the Y2K "catastrophe" 😉, I hadn't heard of the Year 2038 problem yet…

➡️ Respect to all IT people who worked hard to solve the real Y2K issues during the annoying hype leading up to the event, which attracted profiteers abusing the fears.

I was freelancing in I.T. in the years prior to #Y2K.

Every company was lousy w/a dozen or two 20-something tech bros. And the competition for top talent had companies offering all kinds of perks that would appeal to immature male computer geeks:

Remote control cars to play with on your break. Foosball tables. Vending machines stocked with ultra-high caffeine sodas (pre-Red Bull.)

#Musk's hacker goons reminds me an awful lot of those days. I'd NEVER trust them w/sensitive data.

Fedi friends, I’d like to take you on a journey that started with my finding out that #Furby shoes exist.

Of course, I had to share this knowledge with my fellow millennial goblins, one of whom decided she might want a pair enough to check the reviews and, um….

I think maybe this person is having the same 2025 we’re all having, except they’re handling by leaving unhinged canon police reviews on #y2k products :blobfoxcrylaugh:
