Y2K was completely overblown and exaggerated.

I have some ancient Sennheiser HD 420s, I had to replace the foams (and hacked some other Sennheiser foams for that) but they are otherwise still flawless. The cord is nigh-indestructible and super long. And they are also super comfortable, they weigh nothing. It's way smarter to get used Sennheisers than new Bose.

There are sadly just projects which depend on older versions still being used. It's pretty normal for an ISP to need to maintain at least a couple of versions. And since PHP changes important things in minor versions sometimes, you need at least a couple of minor versions of each as well. That's probably my least favorite thing about PHP.

I don't know how much more real capital controlling the means of production can get, but I sure fucking hope it isn't much more real than this.

I think I've heard of them but I forgot right away because they don't have a Linux version. That's like not having a Windows app for your automotive scanner or not having a Mac app for your microblogging platform
