Some of my coworkers were talking about using RSS to read blogs, which made some of the younger folks in our team ask what it is and why we keep using it.
Some still use iPods to avoid subscriptions and streaming services, my favorite was one of our sysadmins who showed me Gopher.
I’m curious about others though, thanks!
GNU Emacs, from the 1980s
Even though I am a vim user. This is a good comment ! Nice editor choice (The only reason I don’t use it is because never got used to the keybinds)
You can get Vi keybindings in Emacs, I use Evil mode all the time
I’m definitely younger than you because emacs sucks
Haha I wouldn’t be so sure about that, I just happen to like these hipster tech. In any case, Emacs is an acquired taste so age doesn’t matter that much.
Usin’ it right now. My first comp sci course had VI-cult people as TAs, and it was their position that VI was the only tool you’re going to be using in all your Comp Sci time. I almost dropped out of college in the next two weeks, until one TA said “actually, there are other tools. You have a choice.” And I’ve avoided VI whenever possible since. The few times I use it I will invariably curse the antiquated beep mode.
