After 20-25 years, it’s more or less used for a spam pit and less important things now. No sense walking away from it when there’s no finances or other dangerous things attached
At least you weren’t born in 1988.

Yes, Angelfire!! My first website was there. It was ✨ sparkly✨ and quite lovely. 😂 I only ever see people talk about Live Journal nowadays, which I think was after my time.
DaBestHackr@aol.com checking in. Warez for life
Warez is pronounced like “where’s” right? My friend said it like Juarez, the place in Mexico, and I can’t help but hear it like that in my head.
Yup. Always said where’s
Yes, “where’s”, as in cracked softwares.
I find it incredibly annoying that Google won’t let you merge or transfer purchases to a new account.
YES BITCH! I’m stuck using this ancient account I’d really rather not in order to access my purchases. Luckily most of the things I’ve bought are no longer available. However I did just buy premium for Boost for Lemmy… Fuck it. I’m buying it again.
Thank you for the reminder for me to switch over. I actually needed that.
I like how this was your reminder. I mean, you just made a thread about this very topic…
I was born with the ability to post memes, not think about them. Thinking hard.
wheres your profile banner from
It’s a screengrab from Star Trek: Lower Decks although it can be found in any of the newer episodes of the new Trek shows. They’re using it as an opening across all shows. A ship (changes depending on the show) flies around in space. It then zooms out and you realize the path the ship was taking makes the Starfleet Delta. Then the Star Trek text drops over the top. Pretty neato intro actually.
Here’s the link to the Strange New Worlds one. Lower Decks shows the ship from that show, the Cerritos. Discovery shows the USS Discovery and the newest season of Picard shows the USS Titan-A. There’s even a new retro version for the ‘very Short Treks’ theyve been putting up on youtube.
Here’s the full pic if you want it.
The retro/TAS version is pretty remarkable. I made a comparison between them, and they match amazingly well:
Edit: the animation maybe doesn’t work?
Animation works on my end. They do match real close. I am super impressed with the detail they did for all the intros. There’s even little easter eggs imbedded in some of them. Picard Season 3 is mostly the same but occasionally something small changes and you see another ship in the background or special effects added to the main logo. Lower Decks has added a nebula that looks like a giant Koala into their intro.
While it’s not quite the same, Google does allow you to stay signed into multiple accounts. Just click your profile photo in the upper-right and click “Add another account”. After signing into the other account, you can seamlessly switch between them. The same steps can also be used for any Google Android app.

EdgyEarly2000Song55
Nah it’s just coldplay.
IWantSomethingJustLikeThis2017!
Ohh man i hate that song
The instrumental version is
fantasticthere, though.Edit: I just listened to it again. Nah, I guess I was just in a mood when I first heard it.
My favourite song is “Yellow” and my surname is “Rain”… you can guess what my first email at age 10 was…
Okay I made that up, but I bet something like that has happened

I’m gonna use your password, but change one character so it’s mine.
Go for it!
I generated it in KeePass for this comment and actually interestingly it looks like Lemmy butchered/sanitized/modified it as well
Which character are you going to change?
More like 8 yr old lol
same email for 20+ years, if i was starting over, i would choose something shorter and easier to spell
I made that mistake with my first vanity domain. It sucked having to spell it out every time lol
I got pretty lucky that 1) my usernames have all been pretty tame if a bit boring and 2) I never published anything horrible under my IRL name
I publish all of my horrible stuff online under your real name just to fuck with you
Bank: and your email is “TigOlBiddies69 @ email com?”
Me: “Yes is there a problem?”
When I was in college I got an early invite to Gmail, and did the fistname.lastname address.
All my day jobs have also had the same format, as does my university faculty ID (I teach night classes).
It’s kinda handy that you just use my (unique) name and the organization to get in touch with me.
Though it’s super annoying on my phone’s autocomplete since the screen above the keyboard shows “firstname.lastname@…” 3 times and I don’t know which is which.
I do find that interesting all your jobs use the same name format. My jobs have all had different formats lol
One was first initial last name, one was last name first initial (same as my school), my current one is just first name which is cool because if there are any other people who come here later I will be the original one lol, etc
Also my second job had four people with the same name as me, but one of them was much older and died while I was still working there, then I left a year later so then they were down to two. lol
I still keep my Hotmail/Yahoo/etc., but I’ve gotten my name as a domain and use that for professional communication.
It has catch-all support, so whether you send an email to hi@name.com or “XxX_360noscopegamer_xXx@name.com”, I still receive it.
I do the same. And if someone abuses a particular alias I block it.
Wait, so you can just willy-nilly name emails for your domain for different online services and see who’s selling your data pretty easily then right?
I mean… who isn’t selling our data but still lol
My first Hotmail address was based off my football position and jersey number. During high school I changed positions and numbers along the way, making it obsolete like a year after creating it
Still useful for signing up to things I know are gonna spam me with bullshit though, the ad copy can join old MySpace reminders.
Ah, mister SafetySafety88 ?
When I was like 11 I made two emails, one with a dumb name and another more professional one that’s just my name. I didn’t want to send emails to adults with the dumb name one because I didn’t want to explain it.
11 year old me was way too serious.
My first was dingdong86@aol and then dudeguy2202@yahoo
Today I use something more professional, last name + my first and middle initials.
Same, I made a more professional email address that was easier to tell people over the phone. I didn’t think at the time that my middle initials are A & T.
Now the confusion is I say my email addres is “firstname at lastname @ gmail.com”
You guys are still using the same email?
Trying to get highscore on haveibeenpwned.com. 37 so far
I only got eleven, guess my password is alright?
I have 3 and I have used the same email and password for 23 years
What could you lose?
Everything
Just… get a new email? I use a separate email for every account now
The way indeed https://simplelogin.io
Had my hotmail since the 90s…
I still use my Hotmail account. I created it 9/12/2001. The shock must have been so great that I needed to make my first email account. Why yes, the handle is related to Godsmack’s second album.
