@giflian@techhub.social Kraftwerk released the album Computer World (aka «Computerwelt») in 1981, which included the track ‘Pocket Calculator” (aka ‘Taschenrechner’), and they’d been around for a fair few years by that point, with all sorts of multiplication and square root and other functions.

@IanAMartin@mstdn.ca Since I only came to enjoy Kraftwerk decades later, I sort of see them as living outside of time.

Crap, it’s too late to listen to Kraftwerk if I want to sleep.

I am simply providing the information your card might have, if they were gifted with the voice of angels such as myself.

You’re welcome.
