Hi! I’m Katherine, or webkitten. I’ve been on the internet since our family got our first computer - a Tandy Sensation.
Yes, I went to computer camp as a kid and learned how to program BASIC on Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 4.
I’m trans, queer, and bisexual. #actuallyautistic
I started programming with PHP in the mid 90s and haven’t stopped. I’m an advocate for the open web; I used Netscape as long as I can remember.
I have an obsession with Hello Kitty, Moogles, and Squishmallows.
Oh, gosh. Our first family PC was a Tandy Sensation and Winmate which had “In Touch”, the phone center and 11 year old me was fascinated with the idea of having different inboxes for all the family members with personalised greetings.
It never worked since we never actually hooked it up but I still pretended.
I remember the day my gram got one. By today’s standards, it might not be pretty great but when it first came out I thought it was super cool tech.
To Torvalds, Chromebooks “are the path toward the desktop.”
Please don’t associate Linux with a close-source proprietary neutered web browser owned by an ad company.
Parents will go to where their family are on social; either get the family to post elsewhere, or teach them to be conscious about being on the big tech platforms.
Teach them about privacy settings like post audience; post pruning; privacy options; privacy checkups.
The best kind of cat tree.
I can finally change the deadname Gmail I’ve had for 25 years?

But not what Loop users can see.
I believe this one is the original which was linked on the original bsky post, too: https://archive.org/details/3mam75w3oec2n
Boost is the only one I know of, but that’s only because I’ve not looked beyond that.
Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy! As much as I love the 1981 BBC series, you can’t beat the radio series.
Boost for the longest time; but since I’ve been using Piefed, I mostly just use mobile Vivaldi/Firefox instead of an app (Boost still works with it; I just got used to using it over apps).
Thanks! That seems wild, I never knew that existed.
Depends; looking back at things as a kid, probably as early as 5, based on my hobbies and interests.
But that was subconsciously before I knew what being gay or trans meant.
It was closer to 14 or 15 when I really discovered I was probably bisexual; thank you David Bowie, Brian Molko, and Velvet Goldmine.
What is a GeForce Now Subscription and why would you want a subscription to your graphic card? 🤔
The early 2000s music sharing software company LimeWire — now resurrected as a crypto company by new owners — won rights to the infamous Fyre Festival in an auction that was held on eBay, reportedly beating out Ryan Reynolds’ company for the rights.
Just get it on archive.org; it’s probably a lot safer.
They already know about Anna’s Archive considering the disruption back during the summer.
But I don’t trust the CEO at all.
The actual poll is here, but it’s locked behind membership; I can’t find any additional downloads. https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/ipoll/study/31088367
The original article that the graphics came from is here, though: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/12/29/politics/americans-predictions-1998-2025
