shitpost: I'm old enough to want to buy a lawn, a mower, and get excited about lawncare. I have had enough internet for the day.

I think I got in to computers at a special time in the history of the things. First was PCs with games brought home from the local computer store. 12MB of ram was hot shit. Modems were opening a wide world of other computers via the BBS. Having a neighbor with university unix credentials to connect to the internet with lynx and then tcptrumpet / winsock.
Never again will computers be as awesome as that time in history. I am glad to have experienced the knockdown wall texture flat grey webpages with under construction barricades. I am glad to have been a part of geocities. I was so excited to buy something on ebay with a postal money order.
Witnessing the decay of the internet to it's current state... I can logoff now (forever) and not feel like I'm missing out on anything groundbreaking. I don't think there will be any new innovation in my lifetime that won't be #enshitification of once beloved products.
Pour one out for the internet.
