    Great history lesson. And I hope that people, even youngsters, know the manilla envelope from that one MacBook Air commercial.

      I am in my mid 30s and am thus fucking ancient by tech / internet culture standards.

      Apparently the new lingo is ‘unc’, I have reached ‘unc status’… which is more or less literally accurate in terms of age description (shorthand for uncle), but it seems to be a term used almost exclusively in derision, as basically an ageist slur?

      I’m not sure, but that also means that I am in fact old, as I can no longer follow the lingo, rofl.
