Well, *I’m* still working on #Stargate, at least…

All I want is a dry tech manual. A boring, well indexed manual that defines every function. Not a chatbot. Not a training. Not a million "articles" that I have to search through. Not a "community forum".

My rice cooker came with one. I want one for every piece of software I have to interact with.

Go get yourself a technical writer if necessary.

I. Want. An. Instructional. Manual.

Someone was inspired by my Shareware Heroes book to archive their collection of mail-order 5.25" shareware floppies, circa 1990-94, most of which came from a catalogue called Reasonable Solutions. There's a great mix of stuff in here. https://archive.org/details/525disk

I added a redirect, since I can't know how long it's going to be out there. Now no one ever has to know about my embarrassing error (or probably some kind of OCR glitch?). Except all of you.

I use Claude a bit, so I'm likely more familiar with how Claude "thinks"/"talks" than most Bluesky AI abolitionists, and I gotta say the leap that Dawkins makes here is the equivalent of a child thinking that television shows are put on by tiny people living inside the screen.

After I made the latest version of my Stargate CG models a few years ago, I wanted to also post a guide with my research notes, to help people who were working on their own projects.

If I can help just one person resist the siren call of looking up pictures of the SG-1 stargate when making the Atlantis version (or vice-versa), it'll have all been worth it. Seriously, don't do it, the Atlantis version may look the same at first glance, but was totally new.

Apparently, the Artemis II has 260 Mbps internet via lasers, I guess technology has improved a little bit since the last time we were visiting the moon.
Believe it or not, there's already a mechanism in place for the federal government to seize and appropriate the assets of billionaires and redistribute them for the public good. SCOTUS accidentally created it with one of its worst decisions of the 21st century, Kelo v. New London.
