Why did the AIs arrange for Angie to have an interface implant installed to communicate with the outside world when Wintermute could already do it (make phone calls, appear on TV screens) in Neuromancer?

>>106798901
I think the post Wintermute/Neuromancer merged AIs were somewhat insane. They pretended to be Voodoo Gods and they communicated much more cryptic than Wintermute. I also suspect that they wanted to be able to act in the world and have a backup plan to get out of the matrix if required.

>>106797917
Is it OK to put this in init.el instead of ~/.gnus.el ?

But then in Mona Lisa overdrive they wanted her to transfer her conscience to the Aleph and die, severing their connection to meatspace.

>>106799855
Do you think she was the only one? Maybe she just served that particular purpose.

Or they AIs are just insane

>>106799869
I think she was the only one, since bioware was only secretly developed in Maas.

We´re changing that.

Jannies, please delete this thread. I don't want any of the pricks who inhabit this shit hole to have an inkling of what Usenet is.

>>106800383
they wouldn't use something like usenet

>>106800383
sir i already am getting my rippings from usenet!

Exactly - they are either here, plebbit or FB

What makes you think they all went away?

>>106800955
have you checked usenet any time in the past 10-15 years? the vast majority of newsgroups are completely abandoned other than stray spambots and test messages

usenet? isnt that the shit you have to pay 20 dollars a month? fuck that, im already paying for internet, im not paying again to use the internet

>>106801485
text-only newsgroups are free via eternal september or probably even your ISP if you ask them nicely. people pay for "usenet" to get access to binary groups (i.e. pay2pirate warez)

>>106799738
Yeah. If you start adding a couple different posting styles though, it'll get pretty big pretty quick

>usenet shills
>another monthly bill
>feeble security
this isn't a compelling reason to go back and I remember the newsgroups before the web

I used to lurk in comp.lang.asm.x86 back in the day. It's empty now, but there used to be a guy named Terje Mathisen who was like a God in assembly programming, and he would effortpost regularly.

>>106797917
In addition to this config, I had to add the following line to my ~/.authinfo.gpg after I registered at eternal-september.org.

# usenet
machine news.eternal-september.org login username force yes password supersecret

Replace username and supersecret with your own username and password.

I don't know about you guys, but I've opted to give gnus its own emacs instance, because it's written such that network requests block the UI thread. If I'm doing work in emacs, I can't let gnus interfere with my flow, so process isolation to the rescue.

>>106802499
the comp. sections seem to be the only part of usenet that still gets actual activity

>Free to use eternal-september.org account

It's so much fun

The reason Usenet was good was because the entire internet was good, it was basically only smart employed people

What do you mean by that?

>Eternal September
September used to mean new university students who didn't know the unspoken rules of Usenet. When the internet became commercialized and let anyone in, the September became eternal.

>>106804311
Is it moderated in any way? If someone were to say 6 million didn't really die, what would happen to that post?

>>106796747
bump

>>106805235
Depends on the group, some are moderated, some aren't. In the latter case you will likely get put into people's killfile, and they won't see anything you post anymore.

>>106805252
>Depends on the group, some are moderated
How can you tell the difference?

>>106800383
Everyone who's been on the internet for more than five minutes knows what Usenet is, it's not a super secret clubhouse and you're not special for knowing about it

I just informed India of the existence of usenet

>>106805922
I'm not worried.
The things that motivate pajeet do not exist there.

There are many newsgroups with 0 posts, and gnus will not let me enter them. Is there a way to post in an empty newsgroup?

>>106796747
>eternal-september.org
>The number of concurrent connections to the server is limited to 4
Well, that kind of sucks. I guess that's not such a big deal for Usenet, but it will make things harder if you expect some sort of resurgence.

using chivanet.org for it also gives AIM access, an email address, and your own site

alt.buddha.short.fat.guy has some posts that are entertaining to read

>>106796747
>Unfiltered. Unmoderated. Uncensored
Oh, so it's going to be full of pedo posting
Nah, fuck off with this shit

>>106807957
there's actually none to be found, pedos aren't particularly interested in text-only

>>106807940
also alt.dss.hack and aioe.news.helpdesk

>>106807969
They'll send eachother cp and make ascii cp and ruin it for everyone
It always happens. Feds do it to

>>106808003
just don't subscribe to newsgroups they're in then

>>106801494
AAll usenet used to be free* (included by your ISP) until the stupid bullshit where they claimed it was rife with CP as an excuse to shut it down. My Internet didn't get cheaper though, despite providing less service.
Yes I'm still salty ~15-20 years later (idk when it was exactly '06 or '07 or something). I used usenet all the time.

>>106808376
All you have to do is only spout the moderation's ideology and say nothing that implies you don't share xir's sentiment, or something that they "feel" is one of those many things. That's fantastic rules when you exist in an echo-chamber but not for anyone else

I remember that name. He might have been a good assembly programmer but got pompous in fields outside his expertise. Seems many computer types feel oddly confident in any field after one minute of Google searching.
