We’ve drastically simplified and made tech accessible to everyone with a smartphone, you no longer need computer skills to get on the internet to shop or participate in social activities. Kids use apps’ platforms for the things we had to build and host ourselves 20y ago.
Yeah same I also use Arch (btw) and even though I’ve never had the pleasure of experiencing the Internet renaissance, the community feels something like that with all its nerdiness and geekiness.

I wish I was alive back then where you guys had to build everything yourself. Go on irc and stuff. Sounds cool
I’ve recently switched to Linux (I use arch btw) and it feels like I’m living the early days of the ever expanding internet again.
Probably helps that I had to join IRC again for support, instead of Discord.
