i'm really cool actually

jsyk discord's #OnlineSafetyAct compliance is client-side only, so if like me you have play store updates disabled your mobile app predates the compliance and you can view nsfw channels on mobile but not on desktop

i think a lot about the scene in halt and catch fire where to convince a mom who doesn't understand the high phone bills and why her kid spends so much time on the computer to sign back up for mutiny he explains to her that the bbs is to him like church is to them

for how much of them were adware crap i'm sad all those quirky 3d screensavers are gone now

look up "junkbot" today: an entire page of just "remember junkbot?" without a single way to play it (inb4 flashpoint, yes i know, but it won't work on my xp pentium 4)

i know it's just how times moved on and i can't expect the internet to stay still, but... i'll try to elaborate my words better in a longer post

it worked for iphones with flappy bird installed on ebay

the 2025 internet is not very good

how do i search the 2025 internet for "screensavers that work on windows xp" as opposed to "windows xp screensavers" which results in "3d flying text nostalgia churn"

"you're not supposed to feel bad when you're not being productive that's capitalism speaking" and "you're depressed when all you do is consume because you were designed to create" both heading towards each other at 80mph who wins
