I remember stitching multipart uuencoded files together by hand, lol. Then when OS/2 2.0 came out, IBM fully embraced the Internet of the time and had the best Usenet client that would gasp do all of that automatically and display the image or save the binary file you were after. WebEx was also the best web browser until Netscape took over.
The knots you guys insist on twisting yourselves into is comical.
Preach! My first experience with Usenet was rexx scripts on a mainframe using tn3270. Same with all of the ftp sites. Remember fingering id software?
Also, you can post to nntp via email.
usenet and irc were ‘the fediverse’ before it became trendy.
*aas run amok.
I don’t obsess over it. Charge at 20% remove when full. Phone will last over a day still. It’s 4 years old now.
