Maybe. The people who have always said 30 years were scientists and engineers. Those now saying 5 to 10 years are VC backed startups.

Progress is definitely being made but I'll believe the optimists when I see the results.

Of course, but the percentage of capable zoomers who are actually tech savvy is much smaller than millenials, for the reasons already stated.

Just the other day I witnessed a zoomer grad student who didn't know how to use a file explorer on his new windows laptop because he had grown up with an iPad and iPhone.

This has been a popsci fantasy for a quarter of a century or more. Google tried it and gave up.

I still do, but I used to, too.

Wobbly windows, rotating cube workspace switcher, and a flaming bonanza animation when a windows was closed.

Haven't played it on mobile since 2012. Even on a tiny ass iPhone 3gs screen it was solid.

I am 100% convinced Twitter is being intentionally destroyed by a cabal of evil oligarchs and nation states.

Both, I think. Iirc the outside was a plastic shell that clipped to the metal toaster. It caught fire when the overfilled tortilla started dripping cheese onto the heating coil.

I don't know if I was more upset about the fire, losing a toaster, or not having a succulent quesadilla dinner.

My partner did the same thing... with a quesadilla.

I didn't say it was a good idea.

Fun fact, if you turn a toaster sideways you can use them to make quesadillas.

This works about 90% of the time.
