We all have weird interest, it's the long tail.
Magic happens when you find someone with the same weird interest: emulation brings innovation through iterations!
Maybe someday I'll find someone interested in running Excel through wine rendering in Sixels within a terminal :)
And before you ask, yes I've enjoyed way too much reading about https://github.com/taviso/123elf https://github.com/taviso/123elf and the history behind it!

- safety1st 4y agoThis is an interesting observation because when I thought about it, I realized that it has basically been the antidote to social media burnout for me. Most social media (IG, Twitter etc.) - a find to be a total shitshow and I subscribe to the idea that they cause depression, anxiety and tend to make your life worse. What can be good though is a small and well moderated community that's focused on a particular interest which everyone in it shares. These can be really rewarding to participate in. In a somewhat different way, the phenomenon also manifests in the shift from public social media to private online e.g. Telegram chat groups - those don't seem to be as soul-sucking as IG or Twitter, either.
