As I was looking for a relative for a simpler, easier and sturdier phone, I quickly realized that... older mobile phones are exactly that? Did technology in that sector really regress, in a way?

Now I spent two hours just looking at semi-recent videos of such, also because I became invested in it - the nostalgia really hit hard.

I didn't have a mobile phone until very late in my life, when smartphones long since established themselves as the standard, so the early mobile phone crazy went by mostly unnoticed by me - but I remember them still a bit fondly, since I was exposed to them in Asian media like South Korean movies, but also in animes.

And when I finally got my first mobile phone, a cheap smartphone, it was, like it always is for me, more out of curiosity for the technology than to connect with others.

And now, so many years later, it repeats in a way: Yet again I am curious, but my curiosity takes me back, for a technology I didn't care for when it was actually relevant.


Since I am a Sony fan, or at least a fan of Sony of old, I quickly pivoted to the Sony Ericsson line and found some really interesting looking models attached below.

But it's a shame older mobile phones simply won't work in a lot of first world countries anymore, because of the shutdown of the 2G networks.

If you have any fond memories regarding this topic, please feel free to share them!

Technically, all video games are pixelated.

@ChristiJunior Good news is Metroid Dread is on pace to shatter sales records for the franchise.

I always thought Japanese people were sort of "go with whatever government says" but after seeing how many on the fedi and LBRY I think a lot of them are pretty based. At least about the covid shit.

interesting how Knuth dealt with layouts. maybe tex was more sensible than CSS.
tex is fundamentally a rectangle management language.
you have rectangles that are there to contain stuff and then it goes in and splits them up in to smaller rectangles.
so you just have a whole box where text goes in general.
this becomes smaller boxes for each line aligned to the baseline.
and then it does word wrapping to put smaller boxes (letters) on each of these lines.

i bet if you combined these with cool constraint stuff like auckland layout manager that would be an absurdly powerful publishing layout system that is probably pretty straightforward to understand.

Kids are locked out of school, locked out of learning, locked out of their childhood.

Celebrities and media personalities and hypocritical politicians are partying like it’s 2019.

That should disgust everyone.
