Rose-colored glasses, dude.

The internet was full of never-ending pop-ups that opened 2 more windows every time you closed one 25-30 years ago, and the viruses they carried fucked your computer to the point you had to do a clean Windows install. Spam.filters didn't work and you'd get 500 unfiltered spam messages a day, and since you were on 28-56k using a POP3 system it took an hour to download them before you could sort through them.

Shit's bad now, but it was way, way worse back then.

I use Linux. That's YOUR choice.

I talk about the prevalence of online ads 30 years ago when Linux was first getting a GUI and wasn't supported by any major hardware companies, and you respond with this bullshit?

Fuck right off with that argument.

You didn't just move the goalpost you changed fields, leagues, and sports.

Almost like I saw the issue and resolved it with knowledge rather than being a victim. If you want to continue to be an asshole about it, you can fuck off with being too stupid to see that shit is different when you can see through the BS ahead of time.
