sagTell me what it means
themaninblackWhy is this repost still reaching the top of my feed.
RustmilianBecause boomers still don’t understand that we know what AOL is and that some of us grew up with it.
and some young’uns don’t understand that letting AOL onto the internet was the biggest mistake ever made.
We know, bruh. I was one of the “young’uns” booting y’all offline & getting unlimited minutes with script kiddie ass tools all those years ago when I was 6 or some shit. AOL had basically no security and I had a lot of fun playing special sounds recorded on a cassette tape and watching the computer do basically whatever the hell I wanted.
Really, the only shit that I didn’t get to experience first hand was the Free Kevin movement which I took inspiration from.
Kevin Mitnick! He died last year… Whistle F to pay respects. He was an early practitioner of SIM cloning, which is an even bigger deal today because criminals can do it to receive people’s two-factor authentication codes and then get into their bank accounts, etc.
