@retronauts.bsky.social Howdy! Did you ever cover platforms like AOL or Compuserve? I’m currently reading a bunch of back issues of Next Generation magazine and realize I don’t know much about them, they were slightly before my time. Thanks!

How I Used AI to Lose 30 Pounds! So much of the AI narrative is negative, so I wanted to write about how it positively impacted me. There's no shortcut to eating well and exercising (reta notwithstanding) but having a structured apporoach, as laid out by AI, was very helpful for me, a humble nerd.

A new application to rezone land off Marana Road for a "technology campus and data center" was filed in November — separate from the 600-acre Beale project the Town Council approved back in January. It's still early in the process, and nothing has been decided.

How do you like that: My AI Job Finder tool just got someone an interview with a VERY prominent media company in NYC. Obviously I can't guarantee they get the job (I can't even guarantee interviews tbh) but I'll take that as a signal that I should keep building it!

Sriously considering watching the glory period of WCW PPV (1996-1998?). I only caught bits and pieces back in the day because I was a WWF partisan. I actually only watched WCW live after Vince Russo took over in late 1999. Yes, that was painful to type haha. @jeffgerstmann.com @danryckert.com

The 2080 Super I had been using in my HTPC in the living room has died! F's in the chat. So, I just ordered a PowerColor 9060XT per @mylifeingaming.bsky.social's recent Bazzite video. I only use this PC for emulation, older pre-2020 games, and recompilation projects, & so I can play in 5.1.

"Consumer Reports asked every toll agency in the U.S. whether it sends text messages requesting payment. We can confidently say that every single text claiming to be from a toll agency and asking for payment is fake." www.consumerreports.org/money/scams-...

consumerreports.org

Texts About Tolls Are Almost Always Scams. Here's How to Tell. - Consumer Reports

If you've gotten a text about unpaid tolls or tickets pretending to be from E-ZPass, FasTrak, or another agency, it's almost certainly a scam.

I built a full baseball simulation where Claude manages all 30 MLB teams. Real player stats. Real rosters. 30 AI manager personalities based on the actual 2026 skippers. AI writes the game recaps, conducts the press conferences, and generates audio podcasts in a clone of my voice. It cost $50.
