So there's always the debate between QWERTY and alphabetical keyboards, but everyone is missing the obvious way to solve this disagreement.

There's no reason the alphabet HAS to be in that order. It's arbitrary, and English would work almost completely the same if the alphabet was in a different order, you know?

So, let's just put the alphabet in QWERTY order!
It'd solve all our problems from Q to M.

Yeah, that's definitely a "watch the world burn" type of evil.

We need a different word for "old computer parts" and "parts for old computers". People use "retro" for both.

Like a Packard Bell 486 is the former: it was made in the 90s.

And a PicoGUS is the later: it's an ISA card that can be used in computers from the 90s, but it was made recently.

I could go with "vintage" for parts made at the time the tech was new and "retro" for new stuff for an old tech. Mostly because "retro" means "to go back" in my mind.

You know the whole "defund the National Labor Relations Board" thing that musk & bezos are pushing?

I'm currently working on a project where I'm digitizing old supreme court records, and it makes me think we definitely need the NLRB, if only for how often they were having to sue companies for flagrant violations of labor law.
Seriously it seems sometimes every 3rd case is "Some Horrible Employer vs NLRB"

@foone

Makes sense. Horrible employers want to stop getting sued for being horrible.
