Hey friends! I don't know if you're familiar with this harvard linguist on tiktok but he's the best: https://www.tiktok.com/@etymologynerd?lang=en I think it would be AWESOME if someone from "our community" would make those style of tiktoks, but about computer and programming history. I think it would become quite popular and be super enriching and educational I have some amount of capacity to help and sponsor this, but I mostly wanted to put it out there as a general request for someone in our community to take up the gauntlet in this new medium

Ooo I could take a crack at it

I do not think that tiktok provides any healthy relationship to information.

That's awesome! Thank you for sharing this. It shows that short videos can be turned into something meaningful. I think this is a direction I want to go when I'll have more time to direct my attention outwards. Too bad I'm shadow-banned from Tiktok so I can't follow anyone. I guess it's because I'm using the web app only and refuse to install native spyware. I would be happy to hear of a platform that can treat me a bit better so I can start posting things.
