No ya don’t, lol. Internet was slow af, and there were no smartphones! Shit sucked! Tech is way better now, although it seems we’re constantly on the brink of wwiii. And everything is impossibly expensive. But we have electric cars and we’re maaaybe goi g to mars?
Well if it’s any consolation, the Fediverse is basically the spiritual successor to that time period on the internet: now with interesting tech improvements.
Very cool! Wish I was around during those times too! But yeah, they really have and still are I guess. Kudos to all of em ✊

The future is t what I thought it would be.
I’d rather go back to a free and wide open but slow web compared to the corporate big brother kernel level anti-cheat world we live in today.
Back then it was a place for us nerds, techies, early adopters.
Now it’s a place dominated by the rest of the world. Including all the bad stuff like politics, big corporations and ads.
It was nice for a while… We need a new place :-)
Oh well then… I do prefer my Internet fast.
Waiting for titties to load sucked in the 90’s sucked
Heh, reminds of a George Watsky lyric:
“Some people slower than a nineties modem, Wanna see the nips, it’s a while to load 'em”
