When I tried it in the past, I kinda didn't take it seriously because everything was confined to its instance, but now, there's full-featured global search and proper federation everywhere? Wow, I thought I heard there were some technical obstacles making it very unlikely, but now it's just there and works great! I asked ChatGPT and it says this feature was added 5 years ago! Really? I'm not sure how I didn't notice this sooner. Was it really there for so long? With flairs showing original instance where video comes from and everything?

Wanted to say: No, according to Wikipedia global search launched in 2020.

But that actually was 5 years ago, damn.

Getting older... There's a creaking in my bones... 2020 was 5 years ago...

Don't listen to him 2020 was like last year. Also the 90s was ten years ago don't let anyone tell you different.

I never experienced the 90s...

I see the delusion takes precedence. I respect it.

My kid turns 17 next year. I can still feel him as a baby snuggling and sleeping on my chest, he was so tiny.

Nothing drives home the march of time like seeing that.

Wow! I can't even imagine that... It sounds a little depressing, but also really awesome and a true privilege to witness someone grow up.

When I hit the mid-40s, I realized I was running into at least five things a day that turned me into the "man ages 50 years in five seconds" meme from the end of Saving Private Ryan.
