For those of you who think that your community needs a presence on Reddit or Discord and that nobody would go anywhere else, reminder that Dwarf Fortress still hosts their discussions mostly on their own forums and they are pretty active.

The fact that White Noise, a movie from last year showing a similar train derailment in East Palestine, and that there have been multiple derailments since, makes me think that this is all planned.

okay so hear me out...what if...we trained AI to determine whether objects in 3D games are colliding, based on image analysis instead of the underlying data, and then we did that instead of actually doing physics :retard:

This steak was cooked in a microwave. I told you it could be done.

Today, 46 Years ago the first #bbs goes online.

On February 16th 1977 in Chicago (IL,USA) Ward
Christensen and Randy Suess are about to finishing the last steps before switching the #CBBS #online.

The CBBS was the first Computerized #bulletin #board #system and would not only mark the Milestone for the Onlineage. It also allowed to invent and grow subcultures like the #demoscene. If your computer had a modem attached to it you could explore the world though it, since you're no longer physical bound to a location to do so.

In the upcoming years of #bbsing the #ansi char set would spark a whole #ArtScene that is still
present and activ today. The #ANSIart Scene. Even the exchange of text messages and files would break out of the local BBS. Tom Jennings created the #fidonet which was no less than a network that spans the world and allows the communication beyond all borders.

Never, and I mean NEVER purchase something from DK Oldies. EVER.
I have heard nothing but negativity about them, so much so that there are MULTIPLE tiktok accounts shitting on them.
They claim "tested and cleaned" but some of their shit just outright doesnt work at all. They also charge almost DOUBLE average price online.
Their service is so shit that they have received a few death threats.
Check out this account to see more of this stuff

Don't play online games if they don't have private servers players actually control with no spying.
