Computer History Museum 🇸🇮Do you know where the term "spam" comes from? 🧐 It all started with SPAM, the canned meat! 🍖 Thanks to a 1970 Monty Python sketch where diners were overwhelmed by chanting "SPAM," 🎶 the term became linked to unwanted emails. 📧 Now, the iconic SPAM can is even a meme for digital clutter! 🤖<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/computermuseum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#computermuseum</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/computerhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#computerhistory</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/slovenia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#slovenia</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ljubljana" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ljubljana</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/softwareheritage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#softwareheritage</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/digitalheritage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#digitalheritage</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nostalgia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nostalgia</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/70s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#70s</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/spam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spam</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/spamcan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spamcan</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/vintagecomputer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vintagecomputer</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/internethistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#internethistory</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/informatica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#informatica</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/montypython" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#montypython</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/oldinternet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oldinternet</a>

Ten26 years ago I discovered ICQ and I used it for about five years after that. I met some amazing people on it and some not so amazing people, but overall I had a really good time with it. I'm not really sad about this as I hadn't used it in over twenty years because better things have come along since then. Now if IRC ever dies (don't think it ever will)...then I might be sad!<a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/25/24164579/icq-shut-down-june" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/25/24164579/icq-shut-down-june</a><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/internet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#internet</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/icq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#icq</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/oldinternet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oldinternet</a>

Chef's Kiss//Dodge BricksThis just occurred to me :> From what I gathered, "old internet" is just anywhere that hasn't been walled off, monetized, or billboarded to death.Does that sound accurate?? <a href="https://weirder.earth/tags/internet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#internet</a> <a href="https://weirder.earth/tags/OldInternet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OldInternet</a>
