ICQ will stop working on June 26. It’s encouraging users to migrate to a messaging app from Russia-based VK, its parent company.

I stopped using ICQ in the very early 00s. I didn’t know anything of it still remained.

      It’s amazing how retards love to blame themselves being retarded on others.

      The comment was specifically formed so that you wouldn’t have to know the context except that USSR was breaking up in the 90s.

      The meaning was that just like with the Web, it seemed that something good and new has happened and is stronger than something old and evil, and there won’t be a payback later. Just like with the Web it seemed that it’s open and global and can’t be corrupted. (There in my example - it seemed that freedom of nations is now a principle to respect.)
