Online bulletin board inventor Randy Suess dies at 74
Randy Suess, the creator of the software for first online public bulletin board, died on December 10th at the age of 74. He and Ward Christensen built the Computer Bulletin Board System (CBBS) in 1978 to give users a central place to float ideas, post notices and otherwise coordinate without meeting in person.
Back in the old days I operated a BBS called Rough Writers. I used TriBBS and Wildcat on a computer running OS/2. The main features of Rough Writers were file downloads, a forum for discussion, and online games. Some of the BBS’s at the time began connecting to usenet and I did not have the resources for that. But yeah, those were cool days and contrary to what you might read, some of the software was very sophisticated and very often free or shareware. TriBBS was shareware and Wildcat was commercial.
You take the original AOL. It basically was a BBS on a lot grander scale that could connect people to the internet. Before I used AOL I used the GEnie Information Service that was owned by General Electric. It was more telnet concentric and less graphic than AOL.
…
Anyways. RIP Randy Suess. You brought entertainment to a lot of us.

So You Are Either Being Banned or Being Paid Millions of Dollars?
So you are either being banned or being paid millions of dollars? That thought is both funny and kind of sad.
Streamers DrLupo, TimTheTatman, and Lirik are some of Twitch’s biggest stars — and they have just officially signed exclusive deals with the platform. Ben “DrLupo” Lupo, Timothy “TimTheTatman” Betar, and Saqib “Lirik” Zahid have a combined 10.36 million followers on Twitch, and each regularly draws thousands of concurrent viewers.
I can not find a list of permanently banned Twitch Streamers, but I know they are out there.
For example, back in November of 2019:
Misfits Gaming’s Fortnite pro Cody “Clix” Conrod tweeted last that he received a seven-day suspension from Twitch after playing with “Zayn” on his stream.
Zayn is permanently banned from streaming on Twitch due to his evasion of a stream suspension for another offense. And a player can’t be on stream with someone else who’s banned from the platform, according to Twitch’s rules.
Obviously some of the bans are understandable. “No streamer. You should not drive while streaming a game, shaving, and playing with your dick. That is not allowed.” I just made that up. That would be funny though. And totally serious and deadly. Do not do that.
Okay, so back to the money …
The reason that Amazon’s twitch is locking down some streamers to exclusive deals and paying them big bucks is they do not want those streamers to jump ship to other platforms–“while not driving, game playing, not shaving, and not playing with their dicks.” They seriously hated losing Tyler “Ninja” Blevins and Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek.
Note, that as far as I know, there has been no confirmation of the exact amount that the players were paid to remain exclusive to twitch. Sources have suggested the contracts were for multi-million dollar deals.

Why Bloomberg is running for President?
Does the man who hates guns, hates sweets, hates poor people, and hates Southerners really want to be President? Well, he might, but he is not delusional. I doubt he really thinks he stands a chance in hell–or as I like to jokingly say, “a chance in New York City”–of becoming President.
Contrary to what you might hear ad nauseam on Fox News if you leave that channel on for noise, Michael Bloomberg was really not that good of a Mayor. His stop and frisk policy was by far more racist than Trump simply wanting to protect our border. It didn’t seem to bother him when the police shot innocent people at the Empire State building in 2012 and then at first seemed to try to blame it on the shooter. Or at least the first reports by the media did.
Michael Bloomberg is not a moderate who respects the US Constitution or the concepts of freedom. He is just as radical as many of the other Democrats running for President.
So does he really think he could win?
Well, anything is possible, but many suspect the main reason he is running for President is so that he can run political ads as a Presidential Candidate and not just as a PAC. He wants to have influence in the election and if it comes down to a brokered convention, he wants influence there as well.
This is opinion. If you have a different opinion, cool.
