I'm glad that you like it but sorry for taking you to the dark side :-)

You are completely right, in the early 2000 and before, sites where built to share, help and learn. The word "enshitification" describes perfectly the current landscape. Luckily there are some oasis, like the fediverse and other places, where we can still feel Internet as it should be.

"The ones trying to revive the 2000s internet spirit/experience"

That was one of the reasons why I recently move from Twitter/X, Instagram... to the fediverse. And honestly I didn't pay attention to Medium as I don't write so often. I will take a look at dev.to and proably I will move my (three) Medium articles here. Thank you so much!

I joined Medium before dev.to... that's the reason. But I have to ask, why dev.to? To be honest I don't care one place or the other.

Good luck to the people that thinks that a ~~wordjoiner~~ LLM will replace real human intelligence. 🍿

This sounds like socialism is good for capitalists

Was It shareware? Didn't know it!

I'm still enjoying It with OpenTTD https://www.openttd.org/

My first distro was a Slackware that came on a CD of a magazine in the late 90s. Amazing how Linux quickly evolved and was available for people.

 

I didn't see this coming and I think it's funny, so I decided to post it here.
