Hey, fediverse (and bsd.network!)
I want to hear about your formative tech years!
What did you love in years past? What made you think "if we have something like *this* today, the future is certain to be amazing?"
@pamela i spent a lot of time reading user manuals so i could do silly things like customize the dos prompt. i was most fascinated by the internet though. we had an early voice/text chat program that i used to talk to other kids in, like, australia
@pamela i loved crawling search engine results and finding weird websites too. every site had "cool links" type pages and webrings were amazing for discoverability in the days before google
@wolfteeth the hand-curated pages of links were always fantastic! I actually really miss those :D
