    Sadly I’ve found a few of those on Lemmy already. What I’d prefer is the internet of the 1990s when it took effort to figure out and the masses were too lazy or dumb to do so.

    And that sweet, sweet dialup modem sound.

      Fuck yes those memories…

      I used to purposefully disable the error correction on my modem so the connection sound didn’t have that stupid hissy wobbly beepy part at the end. Yeah it meant that sometimes I’d fjhkswa thjasd ar eee e but it was worth it for that pure music.

      Maybe we’re blessed for knowing it like none that came after, or cursed for knowing it will never be that good again…
