"I can focus on the things that actually deserve my attention – cooking a meal, reading a book, chatting with my friends, playing on the sofa. I’m less worried about the distraction of my digital devices, or the effect it has on my life."

and hope they're really deleted and not just marked as deleted.

The spaceship in Poul Anderson's Tau Zero uses a Bussard ramjet.
And then he'll come back for an exchange when he realizes his games won't run on his new PC.
I'll also recommend The Hacker Crackdown and Exploding the Phone.
> I don't think anyone exists who doesn't game and also watch video on the same system. Actually I have a dedicated computer connected to my TV to watch videos. My gaming computer is dedicated to gaming (and doesn't get much use these days). I have a Linux computer for everything else.

Re:Space Debris is an Amiga mod I composed back in 1991 on Sunday December 19, 2021 @11:27PM (#29621576)
Man does that brings back memories! Back in the 90s, french magazine PC Team offered a CDROM with game demos and tons of random goodies including mods. I listen to them with Cubic Player on MS-DOS which had some cool visual effects. I still have my favourite mods on my HDD, including SPACEDEB.MOD!

The divers spent days risking their lives to save the kids, and some Silicon Valley fucker with zero field knowledge pretends he's going to save the day with some high-tech gizmo.

Like is or not, Musk was the bad guy here.
