Haha, so true. I really really miss the "old" interwebz. Imagine the content of back-then with the hardware of today. The dream of yesteryear would come true. A blazingly fast net. Just html with a bit of JS (when really needed). Not 10 frameworks (each used for one function), dozens of mb of graphics, a gazillion of cookies and tracker-scripts and... Jeez.

Today i need so much stuff to fight the other stuff, it's stuffmageddon.

Oh and if you're also European you can also fight (for free!) the silly cookie-war.

4chan back before the Nazi takeover was like the wild west. My favorite part was "Lithursday," when we would share images with embedded PDFs of copyrighted content, including rare books, anarchist materials, and military manuals. I often wonder if those unusually large .jpgs are still floating around the internet waiting to be unlocked. I also saw legitimate acts of activism and terrorism unfolding live, without the interpretation and propaganda of the state.

Oh man, I remember that. I'm sure I still have an Anarchist 's Cookbook floating around from one of those
