How do we replicate the 80s...

Lol you miss people re-designing their websites every 3 months, just because? Or hamster dance? Dancing baby?

Still lots of ugly websites out there to satisfy your thirst.

So all those yucky nerds were non-women and non-niggers? Are you sure you were around back then because there clearly was a mixed group of people depending on what you did. Just because they weren't in your communities doesn't mean they weren't there.

i don't.
you are blinded by nostalgia. if sites like that remained you'd just complain about how each website is a huge pain to actually use. uniformity is great

There were a few women and even less black people. The vast majority were white men, yes.
The Internet hadn't come to India yet.

Stop browsing social media (this includes Jow Forums, Jow Forums is a form of social media now, it isn't like the forums of the early 2000s at all where discussion and sharing information was paramount, this is a place where people come to get dopamine hits just like social media)

Use the internet sparingly for entertainment -- be more selective with what you watch/consume.

Avoid cloud services and SaaS services.

The only correct answer.

Is it possible to code a hardware limitation into a website so that only people with a certain hardware component could access it? Not just raw size/poor integration that makes the site only accessible to powerful computers, but essentially acting like a key. If we could do that we could bring back geocities and have it only accessible with this magic hardware, that will cost $20k. This is kind of how my gym works, the fee is $5k initiation + $585 a month, and the gym isn't even that good, but since it's so expensive it keeps stinky poor people out, making it great for not just use but networking, since everyone else there also has money.

>Lol you miss people re-designing their websites every 3 months, just because?
You have a point, but since every website was just one out of a dozen you used, it didn't matter too much. Unless it was a forum you wasted hours every day on or something, but the phpbb forums generally just had redesigned CSS, all the stuff stayed more or less in the same place, and the redesigns weren't to dumb down stuff and appeal to normalfaggots like they are now (like the new 4channit design hiro is planning).
>Or hamster dance? Dancing baby?
That's just a meme, most sites had cool and lightweight design (except for flash maybe, but bear in mind flash ran just fine on a Pentium 4 and worked fine on every browser, HTML5 isn't any better).
>irc was basically made for college dudebros
and now freenode, the most popular network iirc, is made for shemale feminists and sjw s󠀀oyboys. there are a few wild west networks, sure, but nowadays they're full of larpers and there isn't any actual tech discussion

>now we are in the age of the tranny Internet

user we were _always_ in the age of the tranny-net. What the hell do you think cybering was all about? Ever since the net's conception there have been guys pretending to be girls. The only difference is that now we can create, store, and transmit high resolution photos and videos in mere seconds; so when these delusional self-obsessed faggots inevitably take selfies it kind of kills the illusion.

Why are white boys think they somehow have a monopoly on computers/technology?

Any idiot can buy a computer, get on the internet, and even learn to program.

the early days of facebook weren't so bad because we didn't know that it was made by the jews to control us like cattle, it wasn't so obvious back then. a lot of use were just kids in highschool, and being able to hit on and jerk off to pictures of your classmates sounded like a good thing back then

Yes, this has been done for ages, but to do it properly you'll need to get a semiconductor fab to build it for you. You burn a private key into a very small/low-power SoC. You also add in some anti-tampering measures to prevent people from just decapping the chip and exfiltrating the key. In PCs such a chip is called a TPM (trusted platform module), in embedded systems it goes by secure zone, secure enclave, etc.The basic premise is you do challenge-response authentication. You send a challenge to the secure zone, it signs it internally w/ the key and generates a response to the outside world. Then you cryptographically validate that response and allow access.

I guess. I've never created another social media account after facebook unless whatsapp counts, but that's mainly because I'm not too interested in socialization.

It's still enjoyable as heck. You're just a retard, not being able to feel all the positive vibes.

What OS do you use?

Emacs on top of Gentoo on top of ZFS. And no, I'm not kidding.

I chuckled audibly.

Touché

the problem with trying to restrict access is even high IQ people aren't going to put that much effort to get away from the normalweb, so the activity ends up being way lower than it is fun

You don't need high IQ people, just people that are creative or interesting enough to go that extra mile. People like John Titor don't need to have a high IQ to keep things fun.

I'm making this reply with the assumption that "above 120" is the bar for high IQ and not "above 100"

How old are you?
I don't know anybody who actually been there complaining about things going worse on the internet.
The only ones I've seen are poser early 20s or less, who actually never used a thing back then.

cringe

Girls and whoever have always been on the internet, its just the smartphone era brought about all the normies, and all the girls who used to flash you their tits in shady flash powered group chats or MSN webcams went to college and had social justice hammered into their brains.

But yeah, i kind of miss the era of the internet being home to the awkward and weird, it's when i met the most girls who are my type, at least it's mostly awkward weirdos at cons still.

I don't miss waiting 2 hours to download a 128 kbps MP3 on Napster at all.

>at least it's mostly awkward weirdos at cons still
As far as anime cons go (we're on a Malaysian smoke signal forum right now after all), I'd say the ratio now is 50/50 and dangerously close to tipping in favor of shounenshit CR/Funimation normies. I've been seeing a much higher concentration of good looking people at the last few cons I've been to, and last year I ran into a few people who didn't even know what torrenting was. With the rise of K-pop, I'm hoping that a lot of these people will move to that fandom since it'll be the hot new thing and leave us alone, but until then we'll have to weather the storm.

Also look up for information on specialized forums is good as it never was back then. The speed that you can just see some recommended book or download a drawing nowdays is just instant.
I don't miss needing to disable images in my browser to be able to download forum page in reasonable time.

I meant in terms of the sad panda approach. Needing to buy extra hardware to gain access to something is stupid.

Nearly all of you fucks here were born after 2000, so you weren't even shitting in diapers when the old internet existed.
Stop the vaporwave nostalgia and do something to counteract the botnet instead of being a Jow Forums NPC.

>joy of computing
No such thing faggot.

My dick's name is Great

I'd honestly say the competitive nature of cosplay and jfashion has forced weebs to well, step up, in terms of physical appearance. They've watched makeup tutorials on youtube or go to the gym a couple of times a week, etc. And i suppose theres the "good kids" who've never really... needed to torrent, for them anime has always been accessible via Adultswim, Crunchy, Netflix, etc. - These days i only torrent for archival to my Plex server.

Once they open their mouths they tend to be the same awkward nerds as ever.

I was born in 96
>and do something to counteract the botnet instead of being a Jow Forums NPC
I already do. but as an individual there's no way to attack them, only to defend at a personal level

>mixed group of people
there was never a mixed group of people working in tech before social media became a thing and geek became the new 'special'.

you are mentally ill if you think software companies were filled with women and minorities in the 90s and early 2000s.

The stupid majority always ruins everything.
Internet was once an open space where you could share data freely.
People where uploading all sorts of things for free because they wanted others to have it too.

Now everything is locked down and for-profit. Look at youtube and youtubers. Once it was a hobby, now people expect to get paid for playing videogames, with ads and reminders to donate to their patreons.

You bring it back with building your own computer the way you wish, then installing GNU/Linux or BSD on it, both of which allow you to customize as much as you want. And all the good software these days is free software that isn't designed to look like a child's toy. The Jews have only won if you actively make the choice to use shitware like Windows 10 or Mac OS.

Go to Neocities if you want that wacky personal pages. There's a lot of fun shit on there.

Cosplay only got competitive because people figured out a way to sell it, if it wasn't for the money it'd still be the "just for fun" thing it used to be that wouldn't require you to look like a model. Looking like a model is better used in modeling, but now that cosplay is profitable and still less saturated than proper modeling, it's looking like a viable option if you're attractive. All because of money. Once K-pop starts making anime-tier money in the west, you can bet on a lot of these nu cosplayers to move on to emulating K-pop idols' looks.

I guess in the way you put it, not knowing torrenting is less of a "crime", but it shows complacency since people are willing to accept a worse thing instead of seeking out a better thing when they have a problem. For example, Netflix, which counts as one of the big legal anime streamers now, locks you down to 720p unless you use a specific browser (IE). If you're a normal and your only computer is your Android tablet that won't have Internet Explorer on it and you want the 1080p experience you deserve, you'd find a way to get the 1080p version, right? Nope, just deal with the 720p version bro :D Going back to the topic of this thread, this is also why Facebook and Microsoft are able to get away with so much shit, people just accept problems instead of trying to fix them.

The professional cosplayers and virgins to torrenting are only marginally awkward compared to normals. When comparing them to the typical con crowd of the era before CR's dominance, it's like night and day.

I remember five years ago it'd be a tragedy to have your video taken down, now it's more of a tragedy to have it be demonetized

>The Jews have only won if you actively make the choice to use shitware like Windows 10 or Mac OS.

I agree to an extent, but the Jews have won in one very important aspect: control of culture. They have managed to proliferate DRM through every level of the stack. It's in my display, it's in my GPU, it's in my CPU, it's in the physical media, it's in the cables, etc. They're trying to control information, and by definition free software will never have an answer to this war.

I have a 4K bluray, which I purchased like a good goyim, and I still haven't been able to watch it because I need to pay some other jews for a new GPU, a third set of jews for a new 4K monitor w/ HDCP 2.2, and a fourth set of jews for a CPU with SGX. HDCP2.2 and SGX *didn't exist* when this movie first aired in theaters.

This is to say nothing of the fact that hardware vendors are increasingly employing DRM to exert control over what you can do with the hadrware you've bought. The FOSS drivers for NVidia cards can't even do basic shit like power management on the latest generations of GPUs, because it's part of signed firmware. The jews also don't want you to be able to remove the botnet from your phone. Free software won some key battles, but now we must work to liberate information and hardware.

there's plenty of good content out there you dumb nigger
the fact that you're too lazy to go and look for it proves you're not worthy of it

>before, say, 2004

this. nobody bats an eye at uploading all kinds of shit to """the cloud""" that just a couple years ago would be done on local machines. same with hardware compatibility. we haven't progressed in years, it's always one step forwards and two steps back. mainly because the linux desktop amounts to 1% and non pozzed phone tech is just about as rare.
two decades ago richard stallman could be taken seriously, now he's just the running joke of the tech world and everybody has pretty much denounced "free software" in favor of "open source half of the stack and leave the other half proprietary, remote and DRM'd"
and I'm not sure we can do anything without making people smarter so they actually give a shit and not pay to put a smart wiretap on their home so they can listen to music, order pizza and set appointments without touching their phone

that's not my point you fucking retard. you are here, right? don't you agree this place is jewed more than it could be?
don't you see there's something wrong with computing as it is right now?

it's a gradual thing. sure, if you want you an push it back to the early 80s or whatever, but there's a point

only thing wrong with this place is fags like you. apart from that my and many other's interactions with computers hasn't changed for the worse. in fact compatibilities and shit like that has become better. i don't give a shit about politics and aesthetics. they have no place on this board.

I miss being 12.

that being said, the only thing i dislike about current technology is web technologies but flash was arguably better than html5. i think problem lies within bloated front ends and pajeet tier code.

so how was it then according to you? it's just as good as it was in the 90s? is it better now that it ever was?

These retarded zoomers think that girls didn't use the internet in the early 2000s and late 90s, lmao.

How embarassing it is to be a zoomer faggot telling other people about a past they've never lived through

Yeah, it is. There's more information out there than there ever was. Just get better filters.

Nothing I hate more than faggot zoomers telling me that the past I lived through when they were in diapers was better.

So your company that employs you doesn't use the internet at all? They must make money entirely "IRL" amirite?

How low is your IQ that you don't understand that the lines between the internet and IRL are completely blurred these days?

For god's sake, the president practically sets policty via twitter.
