>>106498181i think its wrong to have nostalgia THAT far back. i loved the internet/computers when it was just closed off "secret club" forums, passionate people making stuff like myself. you dont need to go back that far back for when it was great.the feelings you describe here about it being exciting and calming was just the novelty of it all. but you are totally right they wont get that feeling of discovery because theres phones, laptops lying around everywhere
>>106498181Libraries used to be great. Even just driving to used to be an entire event. It was both exciting and calming all at the same time.Now, modern ereaders startup instantly and you're constantly bombarded with ads every 30 seconds.
Thirdworlders ruined the internet
>>106498181>>Now, modern PCs startup within 10 secondsI fucking wishI swear my PC 10 years ago booted faster than my one now that's way more powerful with much better hardware I would swear shit launched faster too and I didn't need a fucking 240Hz screen to see it
>>106498440try linux? i dont experience that kind of thing with it
I had a buddy who's dad had a computer and he left the Turbo button inactive, I showed them one day what a difference it made and what the intended use was and their minds were blown.

>>106498440 >>106498907 >>106498477 try linux?? (DURRRR SOMEHOW THAT STOPS THE IME FROM RUNNING DRUUUUUURRRR DFURRRRRR)It boots up an entire Minix instance, to spy on you, first. Installing linux won't help, retards.You fucking people don't know this?That's what that now very long pause before your bios password (when pause is set to 0) is all about: Minix booting up, so you can be spied upon.Fucking ZOOMER RETARDS.

>>106499299i see this image occasionally.what is its significance?what is the history behind this image?
>>106498209> I think it's wrongUsing computers used to be a calm solitary experience which led directly to mastery on a deep level. Normies were nowhere to be found. The fact is, if you weren't smart or at least patient, early computers were not for you.This meant that computer culture was, by default, filled with smart or at least interesting people.So, yes, you do have to go back that far, because after 1995 all of that began dying. The culture held on until 2007, when centralized social media and the smartphone took over and obliterated everything.Now we live in Retard World.
>>106499406I'm barely old enough to remember the internet of the 00s before smartphones and social media ruined everything.Holy shit it was so much better back then.It really did all go to shit after 2009. Big time. That's the year when the internet became the complete pile of enshittified garbage that it is today. The internet just fundamentally felt like a different place before Facebook, Twitter and iPhones became popular. That's when hundreds of millions of normies and third worlders came online, and they rapidly drowned out the culture of the old internet.
>>106499398It's an avatarfag posting it to signal that its him.
>>106499028>It's all the same machine, right? Minorities, normies, women. If you say one little thing, you make a shitpost on a forum, and the next thing you know, it's misinterpreted on all social media, the essential component of a death machine. I was right! All along, since 2016, I knew it! I told you, Anon. Nobody's ever going to call me paranoid again! We've gotta get out of here and blow the lid off this thing!
