Jesus, tell me that site is still up. I need to be reminded of when the Internet had good things.

You have an interesting definition of "good things" my friend. As far as I can tell, it is down, which is why I didn't put a content warning on it.

[–] pezhore@infosec.pub 7 points 1 week ago

Good as in "the worst that the Internet has to offer is an old man orgy".

It was a simpler time.

Registrant Street: REDACTED FOR PRIVACY
Registrant City: REDACTED FOR PRIVACY

Could we convince Trump to seize this company, then he can claim he achieved his goal, and we can all just pretend he was never talking about Canada the country?

I really don't want him remaking the video...

I didn't know they changed what they do! I used to go there for free Counter Strike hacks

[–] FourWaveforms@lemm.ee 13 points 1 week ago

I guess I'll just have to keep not being aware of what either of those things are

Instagram competitor? Isn't TikTok itself the competitor to Instagram that made the latter become another stupid shit that's all about short videos? Was notes old Instagram?

[–] Takashiro@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago
