A bit back I asked if anyone had used a FirstClass BBS back in the day. Now I've got another question: anyone out there who's used a FirstClass system *on the internet*? I know they moved into corporate groupware for internal networks, but how many people used the internet version of FirstClass for non-corporate forums?

Oh noโ€ฆThe Artemis crew was asked to "prepare for a VIP event" later today, and to get out a prepared, numbered, document. And I'm thinkingโ€ฆplease, no. Not with Him. Back with Apollo, it was an honor to talk to the POTUS from the moon - today it feels more like - oh noes, please, not that guy. This lunar mission is, so far, refreshingly lighthearted and non-stupid - despite Outlook, Nutella, the loo, and all. Don't involve him. Let this "event" please be someone else.

The big question in software development given the rise of AI coding tools is what do you do when execution is free? But it turns out itโ€™s free as in puppy not free as in beer.

10x the code means 10x bugs and 10x the security holes. Prioritization is also harder when you can now literally do it all.

Bridgy Fed Service Update:

Between 4/5 10am PT -> 4/6 2 pm PT, Bridgy Fed had an operational issue that unfortunately dropped ~10% of actions it was supposed to bridge from the Fediverse to the Atmosphere.

The issue has now been fixed and new posts should bridge as expected. We're currently backfilling deletes and disable requests as a high priority.

We apologize for any inconvenience, and please let us know if you encounter issues with new posts.

Thank you!

The gold was the last of the French reserves held in New York. It was replaced with the equivalent amount bought in Europe and held in Paris.
