@homerj the dialup sucked, porn was terrible and full of beastiality and children, email was unfiltered and absolutely full of spam, and women were consistently rejected and abused.
It’s easy to forget the shit that sucked. There were lots of great things, but there were lots of shitty things too.
@homerj yeah, agreed. It’s hard to know whether things are actually better or worse in aggregate. As a crusty old fart I can compare a bit, but it’s hard for me still. For folks that barely even saw the 90s or 00s, I think they fantasize about the past based on half remembered fish stories.
I want a combo rss and email newsletter reader, plug-ins for additional services like mastodon, etc., and for internet accounts to have a public web directory again as part of the bundle, in case you want to make your own website.
I mean, except for Internet Explorer. That sucked.
