Apparently Usenet is still a thing…
I don’t know why that is somehow surprising to me, but I guess I’ve always thought of it it as one of those technologies that happened “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.”
I’ve read that it’s mostly used for file sharing now though, which is honestly a bit disappointing.
