Edit: Holy crap, it’s so satisfying hearing all the clanking as the text comes through, and I didn’t even code this! I was confused about 13:20 when he says there’s no equal sign; there’s definitely one in most versions of Baudot code, but apparently not US-TTY. Maybe he could make BELL another escape for more characters? I don’t know what modern use it has.
Here’s the Wikipedia on the Model 15.
Is ending up with a dumb terminal without seeking one out a thing that can still happen? Unless you’re trapped in an electronic components warehouse and have to build your own, haha.
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen one outside of a historical context. I guess the military might still use them for prod.
It’s more about reaching a tipping point where adding a new user to something else (fingers crossed for Fediverse) makes it a palatable alternative for more than one redditor. The network effect is a thing, so it exists, and if enough people get kicked off of an app they like it’s not impossible to hit.
Honestly, I’ll probably keep using it. I like the scale of the community and the resulting coverage of subject matter, and without something major pushing people away that’s going to be on Reddit.
Have any other social media sites backed down? IIRC Tumblr, Digg and of course Twitter just went straight off the cliff.
Hmm, somebody should make a Lemmy instance that just has a copy of Reddit in it. Probably somewhere hard to sue.
