@realhackhistory@chaos.social Clearly I think I have the memory of Lord Nikon, but I ramble like Cereal Killer, but actually, I'm just a Joey.

Formerly of Guam, now in Hawaii. Very aware of being on land illegally annexed by the US Government from a Sovereign Kingdom.
I am just trying to grow/change and leave the world better than I found it.
Salty Cybernaut: I helped write a book (well, let's be honest, paraphrase one) on how to use the Internet. Finger, IRC, FIBS (First Internet Backgammon Server), FTP, and other things that only Linux users even remember. I did witness a man freaking WHISTLE with just his mouth into a phone and crash a BBS system. I learned IBM System 34 OCL before I learned LOGO on an Apple IIe. I might have suggested to a friend who was friends with a singer of a band that Delphi was a good way to access the Internet. I am that guy who maintained a usenet FAQ. Sorry, I'd edit it, but the ISP I was using folded before I could transfer control to a new email address.

Along with, FTLOG do not plug your phone into any usb ports on my network desktops, laptops, docking stations, or monitors.

@Bishopjoey wow, I haven't heard this since 1995. Time to locate my old cd's and rip some new content for "the phone". Thanks for the memory!

But, sushi rolls and kimbap are wrapped with dried, oiled, salted seaweed, not anything grain based at all. Which is probably why I like them better.

@mattblaze@federate.social I got to hear that song every weekend on FM Radio. Why? Because it was long enough for the DJ to queue up, and drive from the station to get Fast Food and get back in time. #TrueStory

@chesheer paid for WinRAR. Worked great. Big part of my early usenet life. PAR files gave me a good RAID 5 working knowledge when I was, well, alt.binaries. younameit. Likely still have my receipt.
I have access to AI tools, am directly encouraged to use it, but I just saw in the episode of The Pitt where the AI ambient listening charting app miss hears the drug name leading to a conversation about proof reading. The problem is spell check, grammer check, even reading it won't solve the problem if the provider doing the medication reconcilitation wasnt really paying close attention and just rubber stamps the auto charting. I have been working with medical providers for 30 years, some of them, I know, will phone it in. Others are very good and will use the tool sensibly.
I used AI to ask a work related issue and it did a reasonable job reading public websites for content, but the bulk of the whole answer was a single reddit post, by which I mean directly quoted/lifted. I also have watched someone give a briefing where the language was more complicated/flowery than how they normally speak. So when asked to paraphrase, simplify, explain the basic point -- they just stammered out their grammerly written slop rereading their slide, clearly not even comprehending their "own work". Reminds me I need to hunt down that app and remove it from the network. Unauthorized software installs, GRRR.
Time to play infosec whac-a-mole again.🔨🔨🔨
