rstevens 🐳💨✅i’m so old, i remember when going on the internet made you smarter.
Marty Fouts@rstevens I have been on the net since 83 and I can’t recall such a time. But then, before the net there was Usenet with its alt hierarchy.
derptron@MartyFouts @rstevens There used to be a time when you had to be smart enough NOT to spend all day figuring out how to "decrypt" base64 to see the image someone just randomly posted to a comp group.
I learned this the hard way of course, because the Internet made me no smarter at all (except teaching me base64, C++, etc...). You can't even mention that old goat from christmas island now that the internet is so bottled up and safe :p
