The days where it took forever to get on the Internet and Lord help you if you got a phone call

Millennials used to be so online that we used to set messages on our texting apps just in case we happened to not be currently online and still wanted to be able to respond to a friend

I'm on a desktop right now!

Like the difference between someone who is spending way too much time online on their phone vs spending way too much time online on their desktop?

transsalamander.bsky.social•67 days ago

Yes I assume that's what's being compared lol

Just took me a minute to work out.

the altar that millennials grew up praying at

Looking at this sent my force ghost back 30 years, I hope I tell myself something useful (I won't).

Going to my in-laws’ place this weekend and they still have this dang thing.

asthepalacesburn.bsky.social•66 days ago

Those things are awesome they should bring them back.

If anyone is looking for one of these for their own reasons, they are almost always at estate sales in the Midwest.

I prayed so hard my spine is still curved

As a CompUSA tech in the late 90's, peoples need to "hide" their computers in desks that closed in some way was beyond infuriating. I'd have people by like 17" monitor/desktops and then want them setup in ~100 year old roll-top desks.

I still have this PC cabinet. These days it has my router, NAS, and about 15 obsolete laptops in and sits in a corner of my home office never being opened but it's still there.

mikayla.bsky.social•67 days ago

Sounds like it’s become a reliquary

kernowshark.bsky.social•67 days ago

I kind of wish my 2002 vintage Time desktop PC was mouldering in there still, to really complete the shrine effect. I spent so much time sat at the cabinet using that piece of junk. I first installed Linux on that thing.

kompanik.bsky.social•67 days ago

Are you 💯 perfect with Linux now?? I'd like you to share your experience with me please 🙏❤️ I'm pleading 🥺 please

I like to believe that by keeping up with weird memes of today, I get the best of both worlds.

I switch to desktop when the shit gets real. I need to be able to type faster. I can’t angry post on a phone, I need my loud keyboard to truly express my feelings.
