Dense public transportation sorta fixes the last mile problem. And buying local fixes the Walmart/carrefour problem. I buy groceries every two or three days, and the grocery shops are always at walking distance from home.

Yes and no.

Computers and computer systems weren’t so much enshittified back in those days.

But the bulk CRT screens, I don’t miss those…

By the way, at those times almost every screen had one of those stupid placebo ‘glare filters’ . I don’t miss those either.
