getting kinda tired of people complaining that we "used to have" forums and blogs and a non-corporate internet because there's literally nothing stopping you from still being in that internet that never really went away it just got pushed out of the spotlight but nobody wants to join my shitty forums and shitty irc channels and everyone wants to suck daddy discord's nitro dick and i think making "the internet" a boogeyman scapegoat for your own consumption choices is rancid

i finally recapped my amiga 600 that already had loads of electrolyte damage since first getting it in 2007 and it was grueling and the board is a horror show of ripped pads and bodges but now the screen doesn't dim slightly every time the floppy drive seeks and it still seems to work enough to boot a fairly bloated (for the 600) workbench with 68020 accelerator so i call that a win

@angela @NanoRaptor agreed and likewise
