      I don’t miss having to insert a new CD for a few hours of free dialup. Waiting 5 minutes for a picture of tits to load. Fighting with my sister because she picked up the phone when I was in the middle of a fap session in the family computer room with the door wedged shut

        I didn’t miss that.

        But I do miss the content, structure and vastness of the old internet.

        Now it has been turned into a strip mall dominated by Facebook, Google, etc. and enshittenification.

    So we loose this guy but not removed or ‘you’re fired’ guy. If there hasn’t been any sign indicating the absence of a god, I don’t know what else you would need.

    Meanwhile I’ll keep searching for"did removed choke on a pretzel today?" On my favorite search engine that doesn’t start with G.

    You never really think there’s people behind these things.

    Back in the (late) 90s, for $10 or so, Elwood would record a customized “you’ve got mail!” message for you. I had him create one for my (now) wife, using her real first name, as well as her nickname. “Elizabeth, you’ve got mail!”

    Oh shit

    I set “You’ve got mail” as my default notification sound as a joke less than a week ago. (E: not quite, more like 10 days ago)

    RIP, your voice was heard by millions.
