I recovered the data from one of the two HDDs from my PC I used around 2008-2012. On the upside, there's a shitload of screenshots of the old VK layout, including from pre-microblog era, which are hard to come by in decent quality — those are invaluable for #Smithereen development. On the downside, however, some of them are so cringy I have no words. Was I really like that 12 years ago?
