    Me! I was a huge fan of Kevin Rose due to TechTV and jumped on board as soon as he released it.

      I’m in a similar boat. I used slashdot occasionally (still do), but once I heard Kevin Rose was involved with digg, I started using the site heavily. I only stopped when digg v4 dropped.

      I’ll have to see what he’s up to these days.

        Although I think his heart is in the right place, he is essentially peddling bird NFTs.

      Yeah I came in from the TechTV days too.

      Sara Lane had a download of the day about the Synergy network kvm thing. “It works for both windows and linux.”

      That’s how I ended up installing Linux for the first time… I didn’t know anything about it other that I hated windows and that was something different. 20+ years later I basically haven’t been without a Linux box ever since.
