as an elder millennial, I can say they were not that great. I enjoyed the novelty though.

it’s not literally just an analogy how a single browser guided by private corporate interests is treated as the only standard

de facto vs de jure

people actually drive with their high beams on 24/7 even on lighted roads and traffic. I was in an Uber recently and the driver did this. I already drive a relatively high riding SUV and I get blinded by those lifted trucks regularly. people are insane and only care about themselves

do you post on nosleep? is there an equivalent community on lemmy?

I miss LBP

I definitely ran xp sp3 on my duo, Ubuntu was brand new back then

except for the made up CHINESE characters behind the north KOREAN man.

!as an aside historically Korea Japan and Vietnam actually did use Chinese characters and still do so for various purposes (Japan the most) but nk explicitly outlawed their use for nationalism reasons !<

until she’s interrupted by an ad.

what kind of business is this where you kill your paying customers? better just give them a scare then encourage them to become preppers and buy 1000 kilos of dry food

I’d watch a 1-2 hour yt essay on this

charge they phone twerk eat hot chip lie

I bet he can’t press W and m1 at the same time!

truly amazing feats

so now mutual masturbation is a joke to you people?!

exactly at one point I had a several terabyte raid 5 array that I had been collecting since napster through the LAN iTunes sharing thing through torrents but I don’t even know where those drives are, let alone a mobo/desktop that I can plug it into. at least they’re sata not pata/ide. I see videos freaking out about how weird ipod shuffles were and I’m like I loved my shuffle and click wheel and video one

but honestly as much as I lament my “losses” this new era with connected devices everywhere and an endless explosion of high quality new content is amazing. even if I chose to only listen to new music 24/7 I could never even scratch the surface of all the new stuff coming out these days in every language in every genre accessible for free to everyone with a phone. it seems silly to think about the days when Metallica sued napster over 20$ cds (although the south park episode was great) now artists are begging for people to hover 2 seconds over free tik tok clips of their songs
