@georgia@netzsphaere.xyz i started getting online at like 8, family early adopters, we just called it "going online"
@Arcana@akko.disqordia.space @georgia@netzsphaere.xyz this is also believable and acceptable, only saw jacking in in the matrix, we did call it a phone jack.
@Arcana@akko.disqordia.space @georgia@netzsphaere.xyz ya i rarely said surfing the web except ironically
@georgia@netzsphaere.xyz ah yes, limp bizkit advertising seganet in us would have been post matrix
@Arcana@akko.disqordia.space @georgia@netzsphaere.xyz it was a boomer term though, like my mom used it seriously and she was a regular internet user
@Arcana@akko.disqordia.space @georgia@netzsphaere.xyz ya feels silly lol, but i do remember my brother getting a dreamcast, but he wasnt a limp bizkit fan and it was post or right around 9/11
@georgia@netzsphaere.xyz @Arcana@akko.disqordia.space you got the lesson in real time corporate media creates history, its all a lie if you think about it now, we cant be sure of any slang or idea that we claimed was widespread.
@georgia@netzsphaere.xyz @Arcana@akko.disqordia.space i will add, that the hope is, what we are doing now will stop this.
@bitterblossom@cannibal.cafe @georgia@netzsphaere.xyz @Arcana@akko.disqordia.space ye, we didnt really use it irl, but yes matrix, and maybe johnny mnemonic used it(unsure i think he said it when the dolphin was hacking his brain, been years). Dont disagree with that.
@bitterblossom@cannibal.cafe @georgia@netzsphaere.xyz @Arcana@akko.disqordia.space also think in terms of books, it was used in william gibson and niel stephonson work
@georgia@netzsphaere.xyz @Arcana@akko.disqordia.space @bitterblossom@cannibal.cafe wouldnt be surprised if whedon was a william gibson fan, maybe cool people that were adult age were actually saying it idk, computer nerds were rare at that time to witness in a small town. I was a small child.
@georgia@netzsphaere.xyz @Arcana@akko.disqordia.space @bitterblossom@cannibal.cafe my parents, even my dad who was a programmer, didnt say it, i can say that much.
@Arcana@akko.disqordia.space @georgia@netzsphaere.xyz dude i love that movie, i have watched it like 200 times, Its terrible but so great.
@Arcana@akko.disqordia.space @georgia@netzsphaere.xyz ya he zero cool does say jacking in now that i think about it
@Arcana@akko.disqordia.space @georgia@netzsphaere.xyz oh my dad like manages servers and host random services as a hobby to this day, but he doesnt work in computing, so a lot of missing culture now.
@Arcana@akko.disqordia.space @georgia@netzsphaere.xyz setting my password to GOD now
@georgia@netzsphaere.xyz @Arcana@akko.disqordia.space @bitterblossom@cannibal.cafe i mean, maybe you are right idk, like i said i was a small child. Maybe my dad simply didnt use silly hacker slang around me.
@eidolon@clubcyberia.co @georgia@netzsphaere.xyz im drinking right now, i just guessed on memory, so yes it would be post matrix.
