Seriously. It's like the back office SS workers "just doing paperwork" on the people they slaughter. Congrats, you're just as bad as those pulling the trigger.

I think if I worked in the back offices of modern ICE, I'd quit vs "Just doing my job". Not a great excuse.

I run a "modern" BBS, Xibalba. Something I find is actually quite a few "callers" visiting the board are new blood. Younger generation that never lived through or touched a BBS but usually fall into one of two camps: 1 - "I'm tired of the modern corporate Internet", 2 - I just want to learn about history.

People still login to play games (I'm writing a new one!), and chat. Downloads here and there when you have hard to find history items, etc. Certainly nothing like it's heyday, but enough to keep me happy anyway :D

People use Telnet, but generally SSH for "modern" BBSes. Look into the following terminals, they're all great:

- IcyTerm - SyncTERM - TERMinator - NetRunner

All support SSH. The top 3 support audio, sixel, RIP, and others as well. Even support for Amiga and C64 fonts/etc.

Enjoy!

For those interested, FidoNet and "Alt nets" such as fsxNet are still going and active!

I've now worked with 3 teams that have moved from Python (2/3) and C++ (1/3) to (async) Rust. All successfully, all with less bugs, moving faster, etc.

And now we have AI.

You could end it with "Python is not a great language".

Now, is Python a SUCCESSFUL language? Very.

I don't quite understand the name. Sort of follows the "I wrote this in C++" convention of naming.

I'm still a fan of HJSON, and JSON5 looks quite nice, but this does as well. That's all I can really say. There are so many choices, but looks like you did really well on this one.

Yes.

The Supreme Court is bought and paid for by the group that wants to <s>ban</s> likely take over. So, regardless of what your thoughts on TikTok are, it's mostly all irrelevant.

Love every bit of this type of stuff that mostly only the younger generations are doing. Maybe someday, our society will move away from slaving away in terrible environments to realistically only raise up a handful of humans.
