Silent Beauties @silentbeauties.bsky.social · Nov 22
As new people have arrived, here's an introduction:
Silent Beauties is an account on silent films, with some history, travelling and dad's jokes.
Although I never talk about politics, the progressist values are fully respected. No prejudice, racism, homophobia, etc here.
Nice to meet you all!

No, I haven't. Did you like it? I'm so fixated in Hollywood Golden Age that sometimes I forget about filns after this time frame #cinemon

At least the robots wouldn't hopefully have the means to start wars. It means they might even be better than us #cinemon

Yes. The advent of Ai, bots, scams, etc is really sad. Hopefully it will improve at some point.

And it was amazing how people could chat for hours and hours without resting #cinemon

Yes and it was a way of chatting with privacy. People only shared what they wanted to and it was not something too image-centered #cinemon

I would use such a thing nowadays. It's nice to have something to be away from cellphone screens #cinemon

Mediating is new to me. I haven't heard of it. Was it a predecessor of Skype? #cinemon

Relief! For a second the car came to my mind. Good to know it was the inventor #cinemon

I miss a forum or a chatting program like that nowadays, with that vibe #cinemon

I made lots of great friends in ICQ. Too bad I ended up loosing contact with them with time. Something relatively old I still do on line is blogging. I love it too #cinemon

I started late with gaming. The first one was Atari and then Sonic over one decade later. I arrived late #cinemon

I come from the future to say that in a while people will carry computers in the own pockets and they will even make calls #cinemon

That could be even a nice decoration object to keep at home. I'd definitely use it this way. Vintage stuff at home give a nice touch to decoration #cinemon

Those huge computer screens were a sensation back to the 1990s #cinemon

Then, those dial up (telephone-based) internet connections. Sorry for mentioning this traumatic thing. The horror, the drama #cinemon

It's better talking to them than beating them up (Yes, some people did slap the computers when they were defective) #cinemon

Those old, bulky PCs remind me of how good it is the current-day laptops. Much more practical #cinemon

Something from the 1990s that I don't miss: floppy disks. Long life to USB flash drives #cinemon
