you don’t miss the 90s, you miss being younger and having a more bearable cost of living and an Internet which wasn’t largely advertising and a political and ecological situation which wasn’t so obviously sliding downhill and space which wasn’t the domain of multibillionaires and media and Photoshop which you actually owned and

@Leucrotta Oh man internet advertising was EVERYWHERE in the 90's, all animated and jumping around and popups all over the place, huge and colourful and wild and often annoying and garish and I remember there being WAY more of it.
But it was all for random stuff that you may or may not care about! It didn't bloody track you so it could show you a hairdryer you just bought!
I remember spyware, and having anti-spyware software, and people being worried about spyware. Now spying is default. :(
