– I started doing that in 2014, collecting everything I ever wrote online in the history of my online writing
I got online in 1989 so there is a lot
probably more lost than made it because of services that went away
my first encounter with this future was in 2002
Google acquired the entirety of usenet, and made it easy to search
that is, Altavista which was a search engine but it was awkward to use and it had collected usenet posts
but Google included everything
and it was exciting and scary at the same time
it was like unprivating private facebook groups and all youre likes and views exposed
I got over it and accepted the future but I was definitely startled for a while + nervous at the what ifs
