I can see why #Google is getting anxious about #ChatGPT. Google can find me a page that has the solution, but ChatGPT can give me the solution right away, which might be more useful for a variety of use cases.

For example, I just asked it to give me configuration settings to connect to #DALnet and other #IRC servers using Weechat as an authenticated user. It gave me a configuration specific to Weechat and IRC servers. Google searches only lead me to documentation pages, not the solution.

Old is gold
still in love with old technologies,
IRC messaging old servers service,

servers
#dalnet #ICQ #undernet

clients
#irccloud

@ian Damn right. Though I hope they don't start having votes on it :)

We went through decades of this with #IRC, when #Eris forked off the main universe, to create #EFNet, then the major forks of #Undernet, #Dalnet and #IRCNet - I suppose the big difference here is that different servers can allow different functionality within the same galaxy.

We just need to bring back #SixDegrees and the only change we need to make on it, is to make sure that the only post editor is #TECO

#BringBackTECO

Downloaded #mIRC to check if #DALnet #IRC servers are still up. Apparently, the #Manila channel is still "alive". I miss my IRC friends. 😔

@SheDrivesMobility linkedin ist wie frueher im #IRC, wenn du vom #efnet ins #dalnet wechseln "musstest" und ploetzlich alles kras bunt und bold face.

nothing will replace this bird app bc it was built before there were any expectations on what it was supposed to be. before metrics or investors. when it was just some dorks farting out code for funsies. see you losers on #mIRC #DALnet
