Used to be amazing

[–] Isoprenoid@programming.dev 20 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Still is, but used to too.

- The internet used to be amazing, but now it's dying.

- What is this?

- It's a network that connects computers all around the world, but that's not important right now.

Surely you cant be serious‽

[–] babybus@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 months ago

I'm serious and don't call me Shirley.

Just don't access through a big tech portal and you'll go a long way.

Without the internet, US-americans would have even less of an idea how much their country sucks

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Considering a sundowning idiot ran exclusively on the platform that the county sucks, I think we get it.

We'd go back to painting up old school buses and hitting the road with a gang of misfits.

Summer of love 2025. Down with the man, man!

That's... That's why it's amazing. Well, that and cats.

Aww, this brought up a fond nineties memory.

I got busted installing Shit Talker (1.2 by Jaundice!) on all of the computers in the economics classroom and scheduling them to disparage the economics teacher throughout the day. In my defense, he was an idiot.

I was banned from using any school computers for the remaining two years of my high school career, so I built a mini-PC (using parts my dad "borrowed" from work) in a portable file box and carried it from class to class, using the school PC network connections, monitors, and peripherals.

Does anyone remember those old AOL "punter" programs and other "warez"? I wonder if anyone ever archived those... It would be kind of fun to mess with AOL 3.0 or 4.0 in a Windows 95 virtual machine, and mess with those goofy apps lol

[–] modus@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Fate and AOInsanity were fun ones.

I remember a friend sending me something called "MagicBox" that could essentially Denial-of-Service someone from Yahoo Messenger.

Haven't been able to find it since.

Kinda like that?

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Rule 34.

You're going surfing on the internet!

Take a shit.

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Thank you for this. It's like 2005-youtube all over again and my sides hurt. 😂

[–] DogWater@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

It's a true time capsule
