Right back to the old days of having to go to the library to use the internet, but it will be because corpos destroyed all usable info and require a 200 dollar per month th subscription to use their shitty Hitler ai.

Ended up subscribing. Holy shit this is a gamechanger!

You’re totally right

As what was said below, it was kind of a golden age. It was usable by normal people but still pretty novel to most. And it was a while before corporations ruined it. I lived through it so I can confirm it was better in most ways, besides speeds. I should say, 05 would be a better choice.

What the shit??? Well that sucks.

At least you can disable

Maybe I should just do it because it did make the web enjoyable again. Like you said, I loved Google 15 years ago! Sad its so shit now

I’ve been liking kagi. Sucks you have to pay.

12ft.io would like a word. Makes the internet usable again.

I’ve been wondering how we can build a new underground net that is just the internet of 2002, but with more bandwidth. Somewhere normies can’t access easily and with a bad ui so they don’t want to.

There’s always local bands playing at places all over so if you like bars try that. Usually the bands suck. But its fun anyway.

I am Canadian at heart

The second that valve goes public and gets horribly enshittified , it will grow exponentially.

Lemmy definitely feels like ye olde internet in a way. So does using linux. I hate what the internet became for the most part.

When the internet was fun! I relive it using the archive and keeping old pics around. It was undeniably better before walled gardens and social media shit.

Hmm, no, but you could get really really good at trucking or farming sim or bus sim and apply those skills to real life. That is something people have actually done.

Same story here! Im in love with computing all over again because of it. Too bad many are tricked into thinking Microsoft ia the only option.

Its very common. The individual thinker will be dead soon.

Yep, it’s very common. I can’t fathom the idiocy. Its driving me nuts.
