How do you guys remember the early days of the internet? What do you miss about it? - eviltoast

Wanted to ask you about this article, how do you remember the early days of the internet (I was sadly too young at that time). Do you wish it back? And do you think it can ever be like that again? I would be very interested

    @bstix Yea, searching is basically slow, and unsearchable.

    However, a proper setup tutorial has the virtue of being complete. People will typically forget to write ‘import random’ in their python docs, or ‘systemctl restart transmission’, because they think it’s obvious.

    With video tutorials, you get the whole thing, and you can literally see where you’re deviating from the script.

    Of course that’s possible with written text, but I seldom find it.
