I wish I could remember all of it but it has been way too long. I remember directories were yellow, .com and .exe were white, and I think .bat were red. I wish I had an old config.sys (or autoexec.bat, if that's where that stuff was.)

Hey it'll do. Nostalgia achieved.

And (for now at least) it was FREE. Just insanely fast development.

If I took that to its logical conclusion I'd have to stop using the *Internet* because there are nazis and horrid people online generally.

I used to have major hate for Kick and I still think it's gross, but.. I'd stream on there if I ever went back to it. Everyone must draw the line for themselves, I have 99% left Twitter because I drew the line there. But I refuse to become one of those purity-demanding types.

Remember when the Mars Climate Orbiter turned into a smoking fireball in 1999 because one NASA team was using metric and another was using English Invasion Units (aka imperial)? Good times.

Facebook: 3 billion users
WhatsApp: 2.5 billion
Instagram: 2 billion

Three of the largest four are owned by Meta. Facebook alone has 43% of the world's population using it.

"Not a monopoly."
