Do you not remember the Golden Age of Macromedia Flash?
No. I do remember crappy websites, annoying ads, slow load times, and lots of stupid people - some from mere ignorance, some from actual malice - being everywhere. Aside from the slow load times, donât think thereâs been that much change, when looking at it as a whole. M
Then again, I barely remember the era of Nintendo Wii, so who can how accurate my recollection is.

I remember when the Internet was pretty much just text and âfont magicâ was about as fancy as it got.

Itâs easier to find good music within niche sub genres, and sites like Bandcamp put more power in the artistsâ hands.
Itâs easier to find tutorials or explanations about any kind of hobby you have or project you are undertaking.
Itâs also easier to find guides and walkthroughs for games. Imagine some of these [redacted] challenges without the internet! Anyone else old enough to remember physical game manuals? You ever try beating Myst without a guide? Hah, nobodyâs that smart.
But on the other hand⌠more Nazis. So basically the internetâs value has balanced out.

I will always be optimistic about the Internet. If you notice people are awful, the Internet probably just makes them visible and you learn there needs to be something done.
Dunno what though, it did not really improve it seems. Still, you can find well moderated places aside from big sites where the monetary interests is not the main priority. I hope yall come here because you like it here.

Iâm more cynical. Anonymity, including the pressures of views and popularity, can influence people to act in ways they normally wouldnât.

The eclipse has started here in New York!
We will get a max coverage of 89% around 3:30pm.
I am at work but I can easily step outside and there is a pretty good view from the street.
Pretty cool!

The radio station at my work decided to celebrate the eclipse by first playing Total Eclipse of the Heart, and then Blinded By the Light. I couldnât stop laughing.
