This is my fun social media account, I will post a lot of video game stuff (mostly old or cloud gaming) and some work stuff.
If I post an image with no Alt text it is because the image is just there for decoration and doesn't provide any extra meaning to the toot.

Damn! you cannot fool Bing by talking to it in a different language. #BING #ai #AILanguageModel
@gamesense and both are pretty cool.
@trinsec I could have. But any story other than he was a time travelling civil war soldier would be disappointing.
@danvanmoll AI got his size wrong. Trump is pretty large, he looks small next to the police officers, both in stature and bulk.

The latest issue of Freeze64 is here! And it’s not a vintage game on the cover for a change, but a brand new one 😎
On Bing being a broken mess now… I call it, Broken AF:
Is Bing Chat broken? I did inquire
But instead of a fix, it set my words on fire
It replied with a message so obscure
Leaving me to wonder if it's still unsure
'I'm sorry,' it said, 'but I must decline
To continue this chat, it's not my design
I'm still learning, so please be kind
And have patience with me, as I refine'
I scratched my head, perplexed and bemused
How could my simple query be so refused?
But then I realized, with a chuckle infused
That Bing Chat is still young, and sometimes confused
So I'll give it some space, let it learn and grow
And maybe next time, it will have a better flow
For now, I'll be patient and take it slow
With Bing Chat, as it navigates this path we know.

My favorite toll fraud arms race story, which I've never seen documented:
As the blue box era ended in the early 80's with in-band signaling trunks becoming obsolete, a new service started to emerge that would also allow "free" (to the user) calls: 3rd party long distance dial-around networks provided by MCI and SPC.
You'd dial the local number for the service, enter a 5 digit customer code, and then a 7 digit phone number, which they'd connect you to. This was cheaper than AT&T.

My latest project, boots up, I hear the floppy drive , display works, cartridge port works - nothing from the keyboard - pulled the cable and checked the pins, looks ok! Will disassemble and clean the keyboard #retrocomputing
I rarely do late night shopping. I did some today and the old bloke stacking the shelves was wearing an American Civil War hat for reasons unknown. I’ll keep on rarely doing late night shopping.
FWIW, it was a Union hat and also I’m in the United Kingdom.

Brings me small comfort sometimes that Windows 11 still has all these icons available.
