The “Semiosis” series. Just finished the second part, the third was published a few weeks ago.

I had an online friend back on ICQ who searched for another guy with my name. I said it’s not me but we got along so well, we stayed in touch while a while, I even added my “googleganger”. At some point, we just wasn’t online anymore. Guess he moved on to MSN or something and didn’t bother to take me with him.

According to that logic, you aren’t a squid either but maybe a duck or… a human??

It’s making ADP into ATP iirc, right?

So you stole it? How dare you! You wouldn’t kidnap a child!

Depends on your position on that. Special military operation to give Christmas back its rightful place in the year.

The war on Christmas…

Isn’t Al Gore vs Bush an even better example?

Sure, there are ways but I honestly don’t see the benefit now that streaming is fast. I want to watch a movie or series once and don’t need to own it, especially since I can restream it or download it from the streaming site

It was the goto streaming site back then. We all learned out lesson once it was down. I looked it up and it was online from 2008 to 2011, feels longer for me but I was torrenting alot before that. German law is strict on torrenting so streaming is the way to go here.

That’s a quite ablist sentiment once you think about it too long

Your analysis fits neatly into what the book Because Internet describes as different waves of “internet people”. First were geeks who went there before it was mainstream, second us millennials growing up as it is getting mainstream, alongside older folks forced to use it at work or voluntarily at home. Third wave are GenZ growing up when everything is easy already and, ironically, also even older folks now that it’s accessible for them.

Your child will thank you for this!

Boy, I remember how desperate all of Germany was when kino.to went down. It took at least a week until everyone found an alternative!

I honestly didn’t know what I was implying but I like your interpretation

Don’t remind me of that… but you are right thought, I did fall victim to one of the classic blunders
