@chipzel I miss all action happening on the forums 😔
@ikuti @chipzel they're still there. They miss you.
@chipzel I want Windows XP back
@pierstoval We'll always have https://winxp.vercel.app/ (I hope)
WinXP - Windows XP in React

Windows XP in React and Hooks! Try Minesweeper, Internet Explorer, Notepad in your browser!

@chipzel Have a cookie, it'll make you feel better.
@chipzel make forumfree great again
@chipzel
> internet experience like 2006
@chipzel SpaceHey is pretty cool
@chipzel Bend Over Boyfriend days of the 00s. Sure renewed my CA MMJ card first time in 2006 #VaporRoomSF
@chipzel might I recommend https://www.spacehey.com . It has that vintage MySpace taste for the elder millennial's palette.
SpaceHey — a space for friends.

SpaceHey is a retro social network focused on privacy and customizability. It's a friendly place to have fun, meet friends, and be creative. Join for free!

SpaceHey
@chipzel we need fully indexed but manually selected catalogs, including forums. Coordinate somehow distributed content curation/moderation of domains and full text search that, basically creating a curated internet subset, approximating the former self-selection of valuable information to be hosted on the net in the current overwhelmingly generated sea of content (think library limiting content). No technical challenge there, only organizational.
@chipzel actually TPB started in 2003 ;)
@chipzel make that 1996 and count me in.

@chipzel

Remember the internet, when some nerd had an old PC in his basement running a phpbbs forum, using dyndns or some totally not shady .tv domain?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Also those times aren't yet allowed to drink booze in the USA. The internet went downhill pretty fast...

@chipzel look no further than the original Space Jam site https://www.spacejam.com/1996/
Space Jam

@chipzel you have come to the right place
@chipzel Walled garden social media platforms ruined everything.
@chipzel make it more like 2002 🥲
@chipzel theoldnet.com bitview.net blips.club tracle.tv spacehey.com are a few sitea you cold try to bring back old times!
@chipzel 1 hour for youtube to cache 1 minute of a video?
No thanks!
@chipzel More like on 1998 but yeah, this is A Mood.
@chipzel i hate js (vue, angular, react, etc) frontends can we just go back to plain html/css
@chipzel @luna this should do the trick
@f2k1de @chipzel you don't even need to do this in Germany, you always get 2G there!
@luna @chipzel I wish, but the German provider with the best coverage is „Kein Netz“:/
@f2k1de So ein antik aussehendes Android was 4G kennt? Wow.
@satanskrapfen @f2k1de well, 4G gibt es seit 2010 oder so, also überraschen tut es mich in der Hinsicht nicht xd
@luna @f2k1de ich hatte halt erst 2016 oder so etwas was 4G konnte, und habe bis heute nichts, was 5G kann
zumindest preiswertere Hardware ist da meist ein paar Jahre hinterher
@satanskrapfen @f2k1de tbh ich hatte erst ab 2017 ein Handy was 4G konnte, und mein Mobilfunkanbieter zu der Zeit hat erst 2020 (also kurz vor Abschaltung, basically) 4G angeboten xd
@chipzel 🎶 Tonight I'm gonna netscape like it's nineteen-ninety-nine! 🎵
@chipzel fuck your archaic man/woman binary 🖕🏻
@chipzel Web in 2006 was so much like https://xkcd.com/979/
Wisdom of the Ancients
