Just spent the last 21 months in prison. What did I miss in the world of the Internet?

Other interesting things welcome too.

21 months ago, so since about March 09, 2024?
I started to write things out and its all bad news. I'm struggling to come up with anything good that has happened since then. Hmm, the movie Wicked (the first one) was pretty good. So, I guess thats about all the good news.
EDIT: Apologies if this isn't a welcome topic, you can ignore me if it is. As someone rejoining us, can you tell me what your needs are? I have often held the thought that those that just finished serving time may be some of the most ignored/neglected. I don't know if that's true though. What are the needs of someone in your position and what kind of help do you wish existed to make it easier?

Well, apart from this account I've been locked out of pretty much everything else since I lost my phone number and authentication app, which makes it feel like I haven't really come home really.
Apart from that, there's no such thing as resocialisition so you're just kinda thrown out without anything but some money and good luck I guess.

So something that would be helpful would be some kind of "re-entry program"? Something that says "hey its X date now. These days here's what's available to you and what is expected of you generally as any random person, as a worker, as a member of a family". Something like that or something else?
I would guess the length of incarceration would also change the content of it too. Folks that have been outside society longer will need more guidance to get up-to-date.
