It’s a niche lens to view the world through. I am blown away by some of the genius on this site.

I am also amazed at how myopic people in the tech world can be and how detached these opinions are from “normies” of the real world.

For me it is inability to load any other website in some of my old button phones which I love. The loading problem on my phones is about missetting https on most of websites (I can not read google, wikipedia, and 99% of internets on my Blackberry).
