I remember back in the day there was a virus where a random cat would show up on the screen and slowly chase your mouse cursor. Once it did, it would crash your computer. I think I got it from a random .exe from a site called happypuppy or something like that.
Hah, Happypuppy. That was cool site for a while.
should be easy to write like a forum skin UI for lemmy, no?
(thinking like https://old.lemmy.world or https://a.lemmy.world but made to look like a forum)
technically yes, copied interface the like of vbulletin, xenforo, phpbb and such
by someone that much more proficient in creating them, of course
I used to run a forum for my friends. On my own hardware for a while too. I too miss forums. I may look into doing it all over again, just cuz!
Take me back
still many out there. attachments are less dangerous
It was 2006 or 2007 when I sent a girl from my class a funny pdf.exe on ICQ, which simply restarted her computer when she started it. I didn't know that she would lose a whole day's work that way, but eh what are you gonna do if programs don't have autosafe.
Also, anyone remember "dialers"? Fun times.
