Also Strongbad
I went full-on bacon eating back in 2012 because who cared. A year later I’m fat and slow. Fuck those Mayans.
JB was bad and most guys hated him but most guys also ran around with the same haircut at the time.
JB copied them.
Where’s Spongebob caveman?
When epic meal time was the biggest YouTube channel.
I miss demotivational posters.
There’s a comm for it. Just not a lot of content
So you remember Strong Bad?
I mostly remember Trogdor to be honest.
no, but i remember Strong Sad.
Bacon will forever remain epic, even if it is slowly killing me.
I think it’s a reference to epic meal time
Ohhh, right. Man, I’m a terrible Millennial.
God I forgot about the whole bacon thing.
Everyone proved how indestructible the Nokias were by destroying them for views.
Ever wonder why we’re here?
One of life’s great mysteries isn’t it? Why are we here?
Web 2.0.

As a web dev, I feel awkward reminiscing about the thin period of web history when IE was a solidly built, standards-compliant browser.
It was like the IE team saw their history was causing them to lose all market share, and committed to fixing misdeeds since they held an underdog position. But for most, it was too little too late.
For several years, I tested in IE, not Chrome, because it was most strictly standards-compliant, and I could be sure that if it worked there, it would work in other browsers. (Now, if you use Edge, it’s just a repaint of Chrome)
IE11 was good. I will die on this hill with you.
I miss presto and the old opera browser
I loved Opera for a good couple of years. Came back to it around 2007 and I was shocked at what it became.
I rather enjoyed 2002-2003 opera. It had tabs and mouse gestures.
It was really hard to use ie at the time. I worked at lockheed making a javascript repair sim, and it took 3 minutes to load in IE vs 10 secobds in chrome
I didn’t start dev until after the chrome hegemony but I assume ie was only compliant because MS was the one writing the standards. Much like how chrome is essentially the defacto standard now.
At this point in time, Chrome was jumping bounds ahead of the others with standards, and most websites were specifically written for webkit, even beginning to disregard Firefox. Worse, Chrome was often going back and forth on how a certain new standard should implement, leading to, for instance, CSS files declaring 7 or 8 different ways of doing a linear-gradient.
Your sentiment on Microsoft isn’t unique, which is part of why the web consortium wasn’t actually keen on listening to them most of the time. Them having monetary/OS influence didn’t actually lead to a lot on the W3C - they went ahead of them for most ActiveX work.
IE also never woulda pioneered shit like WebUSB
