Nostaliga really kicked in here - seeing things like this for the first time, and feeling the unfurling of the future and a thousand new ideas in front of you, one so new and beyond all of your sci-fi expectations, and yet so real.

I feel so incredibly fortunate to have been old enough to see and understand the start of all of this, and later, to be a part of all of it.

I appreciate hard-hitting, important news like this: https://imgur.com/a/Yh0rZ12
I’m with you. As soon as that page loaded I had warm flashbacks to my first days exploring the early web with Netscape. Incredibly magical time.
I don’t think I had any feelings of nostalgia related to this at all, even though it must have been about when I started using the web. I guess I was still too young to get really attched to it.
When I looked at it before it had a Netscape-gray background; now it's white (updated? different browser? experiment?) and so doesn't capture that same feeling at all
