@weirdtreething well i know Shit about hacking on firmware and so many more things
different people, different timelines. that’s okay

@foone Press ESC twice to continue...
Also, if your're old enough for the BBS thing, you probably also need to schedule a colonoscopy.
@Stormgren @foone Interestingly enough, I just read about mailboxes in Taiwan, still active today with more than a million users....

It's simple: if you know what a BBS is and manage to connect to it, you're clearly over 18.

@foone the people that remember what a BBS is are dying of old age.

@littlefox@gotosocial-dev.svc.0x0a.network @foone@digipres.club it’s okay
this is just why i don’t tell people how old I am. i should just adopt some fake truth, it’s not like you could tell that i wasn’t born in 1992 given the amount of stupid trivia i amassed ,_,
@domi @foone @littlefox "I was using windows 95 when I was 12" puts you even earlier than 1992!

@foone you can also ask them to go and register a CompuServe account using a special link.

@foone Ahh, yes. Pepperidge farms remembers giving his mom a heart attack with the bill for a two hour phone call to a now-infamous german BBS in 1987. Also remembers tracking down a captain crunch whistle after the savage & reflectively probably well deserved beating he endured over said bill.
