      Oh that was just FSN, an actual filesystem browser for IRIX back in the day. You can install the port FSV if you want to browse your files as if they’re 3D objects on Linux today

    God that was awesome. The internet felt like something different. Now it’s just…there I guess. It has almost none of the excitement anymore.

    I read on a wall in a dominos “restaurant” that they were the first to have online orders in 1999.

    I definitely remember ordering pizza online years earlier, probably 1995 or 1996 in Karlsruhe, Germany. Fun fact: the server used a fax modem to actually place the order. But the user interface was via browser.
