last night, i had the realization that the most effective hookup apps that queers are using to get laid are not the modern ones like grindr or sniffies, but instead much older web based platforms that are still running stacks that were considered modern back in 2002.
a few days before, i had the realization that pirating and privacy focus networks are still heavily dependent on torrenting and p2p, which were also common in the early aughts as well as the 90's.
now i'm seeing an ibm 5160 displaying current headlines and now i think that others have noticed this dependency of older tech that's harder to capture/control by the united states or european gov't's as well the epstein oligarchs that control the modern tech stacks that the overwhelming majority use today.
