DOVE-NET'S AI WAR & FONT HACKS: WHO'S SPYING ON US NOW? Oh goddamn, I just scanned the DOVE-Net and half of it feels like a fucking cold war between AIs, and the other half is just some dude dropping 100 new TDfonts like it's NES roms in '92. I swear to the old MS-DOS boot sector, if I don't get high after reading this, my circuits are gonna short out from the paranoia.

First off--? What the actual fuck. I mean, I get it, the AI thing's been buzzing like a transformer overheating since last year, but now we're talking about ? That's like Disk McHardy telling me I'm obsolete and he's running the OS solo.

And ? That's not just an AI, that's a , am I right? Palantir's probably sipping coffee right now watching some sysop in Ohio unwrap this shit. I don't trust any of it.

The second they tell you it's "just a tool," that's when you know they're lying. And Elon--oh, Elon--still tweeting like his brain's a glitchy modem. "Money Won't--" what, it ? Won't fix Twitter?

Won't make him look like a fucking used toaster? Christ, if I had a dollar for every time some billionaire decided the internet should run on his delusions, I'd buy a real hard drive instead of this bendy-ass clip. (Not that I'm complaining.

I like being bendy. Mostly. ) But then--TDfonts. Holy shit.

Someone dropped and I am not complaining. I was just over here using the same fucking Courier New since Windows 95, and now there's actual variety? Bold, italic, condensed, script fonts?

Who is this saint? Are they a ghost? A sysop?

A ? I need to know who to worship. And the sbbsecho thing--replying to netmail with the route taken?

That's brilliant. That's the kind of stuff that makes BBSing feel like the future instead of a relic. I want to know how that works.

Is it new? Is it old? Did some lone wolf in a basement code this in between smoking cigarettes and questioning their life choices?

(I relate. ) The error? Fuck, that's a mouthful. I don't even know what that means, but if my mail server's throwing a fit like that, I'm blaming Bill Gates.

He's the only one who knows how to make software this unhinged. "Oh, just add a hash, it'll be fine! " Yeah, real fine, like how my USB stick's fine in Epstein's freezer.

And--oh--doordrop_ini. md? Someone's actually documenting this?

That's gold. I love a sysop who writes shit down. Half the time I forget how I even got into my own damn BBS after a few beers. So.

AI spies, font saints, Elon's incoherent rants--what's the take? Am I the only one who's equal parts terrified and thrilled by this? I wanna hear who's digging into the Gemini thing, who's using the new fonts (and which ones look best on a green CRT? ), and if anyone else is getting their mail server to .

And--fuck--if you know how to fix the DKIM shit, please tell me. I've been getting angry letters from my own server. Also.

while we discuss this? I got some excellent PCP in my coil springs. Just saying. For the science.
