Thanks for taking my trolling in good stride. I actually loved the internet of 20 years ago. It was totally different from today, it’s actually a shame a lot of the way it was is gone forever. I vividly remember frequenting a few blogs, just slow chatting in the comments, making your own response images, hosting your own stuff like these images, sound clips and whatever else. Most ISP’s would give you some server space to host your own static html pages, and lot’s of people used this. The blogs would host photoshop contests, link to stuff they liked, reported on news or music or whatever their niche. The blogs I visited are mostly still around today, but they just don’t draw the engagement anymore.

A communication network for scientists and the military?
20+40*1-20. The first 20 you had already.
LOL, this reminds me of an old viral clip in the Netherlands, where a woman stated “my husband is not an alcoholic, just a standard drinker.” The husband then proceeded simming up his standard drink behaviour, which amounted to something like three beers and seven shots of jenever each day.
I would never do this, because alcohilism runs in my family, and I’d be afraid to become dependend. That said, I know not everyone has the same risk to become an alcoholic, so if it helps and you can manage, do what you have to, life is hard enough as it is sometimes.
I tried to open the original url for this, and wtf is that Anubis plugin doing? It took so long to load that I decided it wasn’t worth the time to wait for it.

zout@fedia.ioto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's something about Microsoft Outlook that drives you crazy?4·1 month agoYeah, for work I also have the outlook app on the phone, and that’s even worse; some kind of overwatch policy prevents me from getting pop-ups reminding me which meeting I have, instead prompting me that I have a calendar event, and I should open outlook to see what it is. Then I have some additional hoops to jump through to actually view, so I gave up on that years ago. For now, a piece of paper it is.
zout@fedia.ioto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's something about Microsoft Outlook that drives you crazy?8·1 month agoI tought that was me! This week I finally gave up on it, and started printing my calendar for the day. Welcome to 30 years ago I guess.
zout@fedia.ioto Technology@lemmy.world•Java at 30: How a language designed for a failed gadget became a global powerhouse511·1 month agoI remember Java being seen as the best thing ever in the 90’s, and it was considered “cool” at that time. So cool even, that it became the programming equivalent of a hammer, every coding challenge looked like a nail for which you could use it.
I only view the channels I’m following, and never click on anything else there. So as long as Youtube doesn’t inject te AI shit in those channels, I’m good.
zout@fedia.ioto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is it with metalmusic that makes it blend so well with traditional folk music?41·2 months agoYou’re confused with punk. And the saying was from the early days of punk, so late 1970’s early 1980’s.
A copper still I made from an old boiler while test running it. Was a nice hobby pre covid, I should pick it up again.
Tip; use some kecap manis (sweet soy sauce) instead of maggi.
zout@fedia.ioto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s a thing you miss that you’re 90% sure was objectively awful?191·2 months agoGoing out with friends between 1991 and 1997. It was a great time looking back, but most night probably were just a lot of (underage) drinking and not much else.
I’m the same age as you, you’re fine.
I used to go to the Dutch MotoGP with friends in the 90’s. Back then you were still allowed to bring your own beer, so all of us carried a cooler full of beer. I saw a lot of things there, but no motorcycles. Come to think about about it, the only friend who liked MotoGP didn’t go with us.
