    Remember when we used to dial into the internet, and the machines would scream at us?

    That was a warning right?

            The sound was harvested from a future alternate dimension. All those noises came people in the future screaming at each other because they're so miserable without being able to touch grass.

                And they raised their pitch to mostly above human hearing range.

                We should have listened.

                  What triggers me, is the watermark trying to insinuate itself into my memories of back then.

                    I worked in a computer store in the '80s. Two gamer brothers came in and bought a 300 baud modem. They were so excited! "We're going to vacuum up the Mages (the best local BBS).

                        @gamingonlinux not even joking, i think about that sound ALL. THE. TIME. that sound created a boundary, a here and there that ―looking back with what we now know―, was healthy.

                        the tech of the last 30 years has been developed by people who not only were not taught to respect other people’s boundaries but grew up to resent them and to disrespect them.

                        sociopaths are people who lack the empathy to respect boundaries. that’s tech today.
