Let’s give PRO/VENIX a barely adequate, pre-C89 TCP/IP stack (featuring Slirp-CK)
Only a few weeks ago, I linked to Cameron Kaiser’s excellent deep dive into the DEC Professional 380 running PRO/VENIX, and now we have a follow-up. Fortunately, today we have AI we have many more excellent and comprehensive documents on the subject, and more importantly, we’ve recently brought back up an oddball platform that doesn’t have networking either: our DEC Profess … ⌘ Read more

@prologic@twtxt.net Since you have to check and double check everything it spits out (without providing sources), I don’t find any of this helpful. It’s like someone’s in the room with you and that person is saying random stuff that might or might not be correct. At best, it might spark some new idea in your head and then you follow that idea the traditional way.

Information published on the internet (or anywhere, for that matter) was never guaranteed to be correct. But at least you had a “frame of reference”: “Ah, I read this information about Linux on a blog that usually posts about Windows, so this one single Linux post might not necessarily be correct.” That is completely lost with LLMs. It’s literally all mushed together. 🤷

AI isn’t a shortcut for thinking. In her guide for skeptics, Hilary Gridley reframes AI as a collaborator—not a replacement. Use it like spellcheck for your thoughts. Don’t fear it—iterate with it.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev maybe create a separate, completely distinct feed for DM? That way, clients do not need to do anything, only those wanted to “talk in private” follow themselves, using their very special dm-only.txt feeds. 😂

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I think it happens if you don’t follow them. Replies used to be broken if so, but not sure if @prologic@twtxt.net ever fixed that. I used not to follow him, so that he would see the broken mentions, and feel shame (he didn’t, he is shameless! LOL), but ever since the re-creation of my account I just decided to follow, so I don’t know if the issue is fixed or not.

I know mentioning @xuu@txt.sour.isdoesnm.p.psf.lt was broken too. Maybe still is? We’ll see.

10 Scientists Convicted of Serious Crimes
“Follow the science” and “trust the science” have become mantras of late. Science is, after all, typically regarded as being unbiased, producing reliable knowledge based on empirical methods that are independent of sociopolitical and economic influences, falsifiable, and replicable. The problem is that science’s accuracy and reliability depend on the ethics of the scientists who […]

@prologic@twtxt.net In all seriousness: Don’t worry, I’m not going to host some Fediverse thingy at the moment, probably never will. 😅

But I do use it quite a lot. Although, I don’t really use it as a social network (as in: following people). I follow some tags like #retrocomputing, which fills my timeline with interesting content. If there was a traditional web forum or mailing list or even a usenet group that covered this topic, I’d use that instead. But that’s all (mostly) dead by now. ☹️
