Just Do It® is a registered trademark of the Nike Corporation since 1988, and requires capitalization, explicit acknowledgement and the proper symbol, r in a circle.

If there's any popular phrase that is certain to be hip with the youth of today, it's obviously Just Do It®! We're going to be overflowing with the youth in no time.

As a procrastinator, I did not like it in 1988, and do not like it today.

My opinion is that you should put what you like to write. Someone might or might not read it and might or might not like it, but even if one person does, it is good enough to write and to read. I think that this is better than marketing, because if someone only writes what a lot of people like and you don't, then it is not good enough.

Ok but like as a gen Z i must say that it does intrigue me

I'm a zoomer, and I reckon there's a lot more of us than some might think. Post whatever you got, if it's interesting.

It is ghastly how tech illiterate the youth are. I'd already started messing with Yggdrasil Linux by the time I was the age of my oldest kid. I won't say I knew wtf I was doing but I was trying.

I don't know if I'll ever be a grandfather, sadly

@HanzBrix you're unlocking memories for me...

Just Type "RUN"!

LOAD "*",8,1

RUN

Yeah in the US we virtually all had disk drives.

@hansbrix Load times on disk were awful too due to a bug in the signaling protocol. It was 300 BAUD! Large programs could take a half hour to load.

Commodore disk drives were slower than tape.

The bug was in the 6551 comms chip, and amazingly is still exists in chips sold today by the Western Design Center! It has to do with the shift register dropping bits, so you basically have to bitbang. Some people figured out how to bang up to 64kbps, while others, workarounds with the shifter...

This bug manifests in synchronous mode, and makes SPI-like comms not work.

Gemini Demographics? Has anybody done any sort of research on who's using Gemini? As in age, gender, language and so on. I have content that might be interesting to younger generations, but I'm afraid nobody of that age range is going to visit my capsule. (In other words, what's the point to write a gamebook for gemini?) I believe others will be asking themselves similar questions..
