#usenet — Public Fediverse posts

Updated **usenet_reborn**: fixed minor bugs and bumped all crates/libs to the latest stable versions.

Next few days I'll add a missing feature: forward/cross-post an article from one newsgroup to another. For example, from **alt.2600** to **alt.2600.madrid** or **hispatatos.talk**.

Game 8 of our 100th episode spectacular special will focus on an overlooked, but often beloved entry: Omega!

Pioneering the idea of a large overworld with multiple cities and dungeons, Omega also adds elaborate guild systems, multiple victory conditions, and neat NPC interactions. Likely the inspiration for ADOM.

Newsgroups: hispagatos.talk alt.2600.madrid alt.2600.hope

He subtitulado la ponencia de @rek2 En ella habla la evolución del hacking, da un contexto historico de la etica hacker, las connotaciones negativas que tanto la han permeado y la importancia del software libre.

If I recall correctly, #Usenet also kinda had an #HOA problem. Of course, it also had a #spambot problem. And a lot of other problems common in the #commons.

#GoogleGroups is ending support for #Usenet to combat #spam
The upcoming changes will take effect from February 22, 2024, after which users can no longer post, subscribe, or view new Usenet content through #Google Groups.
However, historical Usenet content posted before this cutoff date will remain accessible for viewing and searching on the platform.

The first reply is so funny. "It has been FIVE years since the release of Windows 95, and that must have been long enough to find replacement apps for the ones you are using now."

Like buddy. OP said it was a standalone system. :blobfoxlaughsweat:​

I wonder how Maarten might reply if that same question were made today, in an era where people continue to use definitely ancient hardware and OSes for pleasure and sport. :blobfoxcomfycomputer:​

#retrocomputing #usenet #googlegroups

"Effective February 22, 2024, Google Groups will no longer support new Usenet content. Posting and subscribing will be disallowed, and new content from Usenet peers will not appear. Viewing and searching of historical data will still be supported as it is done today."

Google once again showing they cannot be trusted to maintain things long term lmao

The last more-or-less full work week of the year is about to start, and I know I’ll be working the week after that to meet the last deadlines I have in 2023.

12/11/2023: Teens Are Online ‘Almost Constantly,’ Usually on These Apps, PCMag

I got an advance look at this Pew Research Center study on teenage social-media use and found it enlightening–including the part where the teenagers in the study group said they were spending slightly less time on almost every social-media app compared to last year.

12/12/2023: Google Maps Location Data to Be Stored on Your Device, Not the Cloud, PCMag

Google surprised me with this announcement, in a good way. I needed other people–for example, Electronic Frontier Foundation general counsel Jennifer Lynch–to point out how this move could spell the end of “geofence warrants” asking for Google Maps records of everybody in a particular place at a particular time.

12/13/2023: 8th Grade Career Day, Thomas Jefferson Middle School

My last speaking gig of the year had me explaining the business I have chosen to three classes’ worth of eighth graders, with compensation in the form of free coffee and breakfast pastries.

(Patreon readers got a detailed recap of this event, including some of the smarter questions the students asked.)

12/15/2023: AT&T: Spam Texts Are Down By a Third, PCMag

After talking to one of AT&T’s executives about the drop in spam-text reports they’d seen, I wanted to see if the other two nationwide carriers or its regulators at the Federal Communications Commission had seen similar trends. Sadly, they had not.

12/16/2023: End of an Era: Google Groups to Drop Usenet Support, PCMag

The second bit of unexpected Google news this week took me all the way back to almost 30 years ago, when my online experience began with exploring Usenet on my dial-up AOL account.

Realizing after I posted this that it is now a Moral Imperative for me to add hyperlinking for all #IETF #RFC1738 URI schemes to #Mastodon, especially news and nntp. If they won’t accept my pull request this is worth a fork.
#FTP #Gopher #Usenet #NNTP #telnet #WAIS #Prospero (hell yeah, Prospero https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4157)

@ben0_o TBH the curating of my online #identity grew out of #harassment experiences I had back in the days of #BBS's, #chatrooms and #Usenet #newsgroups, and also concern while job hunting that there be as little controversy directly attached to my job application name as possible (any hobby will develop drama eventually).

I have no illusions that a little effort would link almost any of my presences but I found through trial and error the techniques that reduced the casual harassment.
