Canadians: First time?

I use Session because it doesn’t require a phone number.

It was a good episode, but there are a few things I didn’t like:

• Blowing up a space refinery on a whim.
• Too much romance/interpersonal stuff, still.
• Pike needs to grow a spine and be more assertive.

I give it a 6/10; not bad, not great. I’m looking forward to the new episode.

I’ve noticed this too. Most of the stuff on Reddit’s frontpage has an angry undertone. Anger = Engagement.

Anyone remember download accelerator plus? I’d download stuff at night while everyone was asleep, then pause DAP/disconnect from the Internet in the morning. Rinse and repeat.

Do you know where that tight little ball in your lower abdomen should go? Down the shitter. You don’t have to internalise it. You are your own best friend.

My homies: Marcus, Seneca and Epictetus.

Same here. Mandrake 8.2 was a buggy mess, but I have fond memories of it.

That was one shitty database application lol. I guess the programmer hadn’t thought of using pagination.

I use Debian with a patched version of motif window manager. The 90s never ended:

They’re making a comeback, somehow: https://webring.xxiivv.com/

I still use both. 99% of Usenet is spam, but there still a few active groups (especially under comp.*). The BBS scene on the other hand, is booming. I see new users every week on my favourite board.

Yo, a couple years ago I had become fed up with the state of the modern Internet, and I started looking for alternatives. This is what I have found so far:

• Gopher protocol (sdf.org is pretty active)
• Gemini protocol (Modern version of gopher)
• Shared UNIX systems (also called tildes) sdf.org is great!
• RSS
• IRC/Matrix to chat with people
• Session messenger to chat with family
• BBSes via syncterm
• wiby.me and marginalia.nu search engines to find personal web sites
• oldavista.com to browse the ‘Old Net’
• Web forums
• Neocities
• Webrings (They still exist!)
• Lemmy (This is a new one)

The next step for me will be to build my own personal site. The only way to keep the independent web alive is to participate in it.
