>I fell down the internet history rabbit hole again
Well we are coming up the 30th anniversary of when the internet was generally available to the public instead of universities and researchers. Basically the Windows 95 release date is also the release date of the internet for normies. I myself got the internet on September 1 1999 with "Freeserve" (The BBC recently did a podcast about them).
Reminder that Internet Explorer was the Google Chrome of its day, and despite Firefox's efforts it was actually KDE that set the stage for "Web 2.0" standards.
AI may be wrecking the web right now, but there are still homo sapiens writing effort posts on /g/ to keep the spirt of '95 alive.
