• "Statement on the US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5" https://www.anthropic.com/news/fable-mythos-access

  • And of course my baby, the first release of Netscape Mail and News:

• "Frame of preference - A #history of Mac settings, 1984–2004" https://aresluna.org/frame-of-preference/
  
  Me? I still regularly visit the settings to not find what I'm looking for :D
