I remember when Google+ had an "all" feed. It eventually got overwhelming and they removed it too. Makes sense.

It reminds me of my Telnet days pre www. I would log into MUSE/MUCK/MUD systems (Multi-User Simulated Environments that were like programmable chat rooms). This has that grungy coder feel to it. I love it.

I used to use a MUD and BBS back in the day ;) The only thing I remember doing is playing Legend of the Red Dragon and sending messages/chat.

Ha! I ran a BBS out of my bedroom on a 3600bps modem. I coded the BBS myself in QuickBASIC. It was fun being a sysop as a teenager lol. Still can't believe my dad paid for an extra phoneline so I could goof off like that.

Used to build fun stuff in Pascal with my buddy. We made a client/server pong with paddle upgrades. It was fucking magic.

Been writing code since I was 8. Got a TRS-80 from a garage sale for $5 my dad gave me. Brought it home, figured out how to hook it up to the TV, turned it on. It said "The BASIC Programming Language". Had no idea what that was so went to the library. The rest is history.

And now we get to do it again with bitcoin and nostr!

Indeed!

Pascal. Wow. 

lmao… I’ve been around a while. I was also 12 at the time.

Hmmm can’t see this on Damus

3600? You speed demon! I accessed my BBS on a 9600pbs modem. Actually, I even accessed the web on that before upgrading to 33.6K and then later to 56K. Good times.

My first modem was a 1200 lol. I'm not quite old school enough for the 300s that you had to hook up to the phone receiver. I remember my first 56k. I couldn't believe how fast it downloaded images. I mean, it only took 10 or 15 seconds instead of 60 lol

I felt like I went from Napster 7 kb/second to downloading 10gb over Wi-Fi in minutes overnight

Same. TradeWars, Barren Realms, Usurper were my faves.

Oh damn. Haven't thought about TradeWars or Barren Realms in decades. The good ol' days.

Google+ lol. That was so long ago. Complete trash too.

Google+ was my favorite social network, ever. I had 4M people that followed me back then for my Android and mobile tech posts. Good times.

Lol sure! But there was a reason it folded
