A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
This was cutting edge tech... I remember the excitement of replacing floppy discs with CDRs...
I remember getting a ton of mp3 with kazaa which was shut down, replaced by limewire.
Then all my mp3 disappeared from my pentium replaced by a copyright rar file.
I hope they paid for winrar...
Napster was there before Kazaa, it was just a string of services popping up after others got shut down. Good times!
Well... Yes. But I never used limewire because our Internet was so shit it'd take 25 minutes just to load in a Web page entirely made of just text.
How did the Sharpie get dragged into this? I still need to use one of those for work.
Anyway, i fit the description. Win.com, Soundblaster IRQ, Audiogalaxy, BBS, etc. It seemed like it was more fun back then. Marketing ruined everything. 🤷♂️
Why must you do this to me. I'm already having a shit day and now you remind me that I was there when CDs replaced floppy. god dammit.
I found this video interesting about how music doesn’t have the same value to Gen Z as it does to Millennials. I remember in high school, what kind music you listened to often determined your friends group. I was a new kid in the 10th grade sitting at a table by myself at lunch wearing a Korn shirt, and my soon to be friends group for my remaining years in high school invited me to their table based on my shirt. Not sure if Gen Z cares about music in the same way, since it has been highly commoditized now, and it seems that digital distribution at least contributed to this situation.
Lil' bitch, I'm a 16KB expansion cartridge in my Vic-20 years old.
People that age will see this and say "hell yeah"
Older sister's emo phase. Mom's Honda Passport. 'I Write Sins' blasting through cheap car stereos. Mandatory trips to the mall. Those were the days.
I didn't think I was old until this post... I'm like the youngest millennial you could be.
Tech culture is around 10 years late here in India. So I can say I have worked with above tools. But CD Roms are now thing of past. Pen Drives, HDD and SDD are now tool of the game now.
Laughs in IRC.
Giggles in BBS.
Two day downloads because kermit was the only download protocol that working with the endpoint due to noise in the connection. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kermit_(protocol)
What was a I downloading? A bmp of a topless Samantha Fox.
Edit: I decided to take stroll down memory lane and have discovered that there were two Samantha foxes one was in pornos and the one I'm remembering was a page three girl in the UK. The page I found had them as the same person even though they look nothing alike.
1st computer I used was an Apple ][e in first grade. Figured out how to make Spirographs with logo.
laughs in IRC, magnetic disks, and a 486
I still do this, minus limewire because it doesn't exist
