They weren’t actually tiny, they were about a metre long. But they do seem out of proportion.
They were very muscular and ended in very sharp talons, so pretty deadly.
Mid 50s, first went online on a 70s BBS, JANET user in the 80s.

I was trying to explain to an elderly friend that people don’t just phone other people now and certainly not at times they will be doing something.
She found it hard to accept that many people find it rude to be called unannounced.
As an example, at one time if someone was organising a social event (eg party) they would phone around to invite people.
But that’s incredibly rude you are imposing on someone and also asking them to decide or excuse themselves on the spot.
This story has been popping up every few months for about the last decade. Usually prompted by someone with something to promote (a dumb phone, a book about downtime, some course )
I’m not sure why you’ve been downvoted. You are completely correct. There is a trail of partially finished projects. Pixelfed itself is in beta after years and years (and competitors seizing the opportunity with more polished products) , there’s SUP, Loops and that fedi directory to name three more.
You don’t feel much difference because they aren’t ten degrees hotter. OP is mistaken.
Dogs are 1 to 3 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than adult humans not 10. A temperature above 104°F needs urgent veterinary help.
Note that human babies and young children are also warmer than adults by about a degree.
There is more than one Dev (check GitHub) but no action has taken place since last year.
That’s not right Matrix was never going to become Element.
As none of the developers had done anything since August, I believe there was an attempt by someone else back in November to get it working /fork Liftoff! but the code was not in a good state and because of the way it works would be very difficult.
Be careful with this as monitors are usually a different aspect ratio to a TV so a you may get a distorted/cropped picture or black bars (depending what you connect to it) which will be noticeable at larger sizes.
Not unusual at all. Everyone I know does this. Nothing wrong with you it’s just that age (and birthdays) becomes less important. Also once past a certain age you actively want to forget that you’re old, so you need to consciously think about it.
But don’t worry, once you get into your 80s it becomes a badge of honour and the older you get the more you’ll think about it.
That’s our name for it. If there is a planet or planets circling Kepler 22 they won’t call it Kepler 22.
Similarly any aliens won’t call Earth by that name. For example, Klingons might have called Earth yoSpu’bogh QongDaq until they made contact.
So aliens wouldn’t type Earth into sat nav but whatever they call it. Now that’s a showerthought !
If they haven’t visited us how will they know what the planet is called and how to spell it?
I don’t remember the last time I used a phone book. There have been better ways to get a number for a long time.
Think it must be at least 30years ago.
Generally, the reasons for a phone number are:
Account recovery 2FA
If you don’t want to use your number then consider a pre-pay sim. Depending what country you are in this will cost pennies per year.
I would suggest something like ProtonMail or most paid email services won’t require a number.
Don’t mean this rudely, struggling to find a way that doesn’t sound condescending because I know things can be different in different regions. Didn’t realise that still happened.
I hope so, good luck
In my experience all of this has been done wirelessly for several years.
The risk of malware means you aren’t allowed to plug in sticks. For business use you share a document or wirelessly connect to a display.
In fact our local library didn’t USB sticks eight years ago when I was researching our family tree.
Mould eats the fibres and dye, so it might be a permanent change I’m afraid. There are specialist mould removers but they might bleach coloured fabric.
Phones encrypt the data by default, your password or pin is also needed to authorise the connection with a computer.
However, many people do insecure things like storing passwords etc in Notes applications, or having simple PINs that are easy to guess, don’t update their devices, or even turning off security features (if they can) because they won’t take a small amount of time to understand them.
