God is still in charge, Baal Gates will not succeed in enslaving us. His days are numbered.
This campaign actually helped geek make Open Source go mainstream.

I miss bulletin boards.
Yeah, nostalgic
Take a dose of this, which you inspired me to look for Fren..

If I setup one will you join?
Also its been almost 2 decades since I last heard this word!
Probably, I'd have to dig out an old 56k v.90 modem from somewhere though, unless you build and internet based bbs, not sure what those actually are though - sounds like a web site to me ;)
There are still active BBSs that use telnet or ssh, the experience is the same as the old modem days just without the beautiful dial tones and without latency.
How many here are too young to have even heard a modem sound? I work with young software developers who can’t even fathom not having a laptop and Internet connection while getting their degree. I just missed punch cards but got to do CS 1 with 11” floppies!
My friend blew my motherfucking mind when he told me you could remove the speaker for the modem. I never realized that noise didn't come from your normal desktop speakers but from a tiny one in the case. After doing a search it turns out you could have just disabled it through the windows settings lmao. Man we were so smart but soooo dumb.
I was planning on installing a BBS clone that would be over internet - no modems. I dont even have a land line lol
If you start one up I’ll help you. I have no experience running a BBS, I caught the tail end of them as a youngster but have networking and software skills. Let me know. We could make a GA BBS! Truth Social Lite Edition BBS
Let me think about it. Making it exactly like a BBS might not be optimal because it was meant for bulk downloading updates over modem, then spend a day replying to all of them offline and the uploading them back over the modem.
Perhaps a software tha has the same look and feel but more suitable for online operation.
Perennial top uploader, checking in. 💪😎
Assimilated into the black cube
If the microsoft produced even a semi-reasonable software that didnt crash every minute, it might have worked. So all those terrible MS engineers who couldnt code for shit are the heroes (?)
Been probably a decade since I've had the BSOD, surprisingly. ....
I had one just 2 weeks ago!
What os?
Inb4 10 year old OS.
Racist.
What?
Pumpkin pie haircutted, homunculous/ manlet, man-boob having, shit-stain, fly-blown haggis of a cunt post hysterectomy.
He's still trying to do that. The Borg imagery is quite apt. After all, what do you think is the endgame for all that vaccine and biotech research he's funding? What are you going to do when you can't escape his computers because they have literally become a part of you?
Cube Looks like the All Spark from Transformers🤨
My original windows 3.1 machine went up in all sparks
Lol a streamer I used to watch randomly booted up a 3.1 machine to play classic windows games and I forget what else. It was from before my time so it was neat to see.
Pretty sure it’s a Star Trek reference
No worries, faggots. Stacy Abrams will save us from the Borg.
