this gem was put forward in all seriousness when the data didn’t support the claims in the report: “it’s not in the numbers, but we have a pretty good sense that this is true”

I love and donate to SomaFM.
I have been hooked on the ‘DroneZone’, but there are lots of other channels on SomaFM that I should explore.

yool_ooloo@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What was your earliest experiences with the Internet like? English2·5 months agoAOL - ISP. Not sure order of operations here… I was also on Mozilla/Netscape (1991/92-?)
Bulletin Board Channels: There was at least one gay one in San Diego (ca. 1992-1995). We would chat and post online, then once a month, meet at a gay bar with name tags with our handles.
IRC - fun chat site (at least into 1997 for me)
LISTSERV - this was less useful for me. signing up for ‘reading lists’ or ‘subscriptions’ to ‘butterflies’ ‘sourdough’, etc. (I honestly do not recall the groups I signed on to) when no one really seemed to be there (1992-94?) though I didn’t move with the hip crowd

yool_ooloo@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is a U.S. health insurance's "concierge program"?English10·6 months agoI thought a ‘concierge program’ was similar to OneMedical.
