🪨 Visual Basic on the PC w/Windows 3.1 🛠️
Apple wasn't the only company to have a popular, easy to use, visual programming tool, only to yank it from their diehard fans and replace it with nothing. I see what all of the fuss was about with Visual Basic with the help of a "teach yourself" book, get pedantic about Microsoft's use of Helvetica, and *briefly* muse about slop factories. Arnold, from Diff'rent Strokes, guest stars!
Um livro vira "AI Companion": o texto inteiro empacotado pra subir num modelo.
Não sou contra. Uso IA, seria hipócrita não usar. Mas existe diferença entre usar a ferramenta e servir a própria obra como ração pra ela. Uma é trabalho. A outra é outra coisa. Ainda não decidi que nome dar.

What if teletext had never gone away? I kept the chunky coloured pages and page numbers, and wired the back of it to live UK feeds, rewritten every 90 minutes by an AI.
A personal project, firmly non-commercial: it only borrows the headlines and hands them back, with thanks to the feeds behind it. I am not claiming anything new, there are other recreations out there far more capable than mine.
