#usenet — Public Fediverse posts

Episode 100 continues with the big 4 first games like Rogue! If only there was some tortured genre name for these types of games…

Lots of fun correspondence from both Mastodon and emails, including a (slightly edited for time) great voicemail message!

Come for the LotR chiptunes, stay for the maximum entropy!

I found this reply that I made in 1984 to Dennis Ritchie in the net.followup newsgroup. I was at the time lobbying Sun to add 8-bit character set support to the firmware, but they wanted to hold out for a 16-bit system, like the as yet unnamed Unicode. There was eventually an interim solution but my memory of that is a bit foggy.

@hispagatos I have added the info to #usenet in the groups: alt.2600, alt.2600.hope, alt.2600.hackers, es.comp.hackers, hispagatos.talk if anyone would like to comment, so the data stays there forever in one of the original hacker platforms that is having a comeback by #tinkers, #hackers and people fed up with bloated "http" were conversations again are very technical without the capitalist advertising murals and data stealers and trackers of the web. #HackerCulture #hispagatos #TheHackerEthics
