    Golden Point 1.x

    Unfortunately not worth your attention. The author is an idiot in the medical sense of the word. :(

    Golden Point is Fido point package

    In addition, it has low technical compatibility with Fido systems.

    Have nice nights.

    The video is pretty bad too. He spends over a minute just on the main screen, before he starts to reveal the other menu functions.

    But, I learned about activating translation subtitles in YT. That's pretty cool.

    The idiocy of the situation is that a program is created for accessing the network, in which you can _only_ read and write, as well as instructions for it for those who cannot read. ;)
    Moreover, the need for instructions for those who can still read is completely denied.

    But, I learned about activating translation subtitles in YT. That's
    pretty cool.

    Yes. It is very comfortable.

    Have nice nights.

    I'm not sure if this can be compared seriously at all. We don't
    equate sweet and green, do we?

    I had a Boss that said something similar. "That's comparing apples to Buicks."

    I have never positioned the Telegram BBS as something promising
    and revolutionary.
    Initially, several lines of code were made not even for myself,
    but at the request of one of Fido's sysops exclusively for his
    personal use. Then I became interested and I made a more developed version for myself, and only after August became interested in
    this, I began to develop it and put the code in order.
    Now I became interested in making a full-fledged tosser out of
    this. Perhaps I will add something else to this, and perhaps I
    will abandon it if over time it ceases to be of interest to
    someone else.

    Obviously, there are people that will wonder why this?
    That's something that I have never quite understood about Fidonet. There is an underlying hesitancy to adopt new technology. Like accepting new somehow invalidates the old.

    It doesn't. Nor does it mean that you have to use it. It's only a tool to allow people to access a wonderful communication platform in a new way.

    Stas seems to like developing this, and August sees potential in it, both as a way to keep up with echo messages, and a way perhaps for people to discover or rediscover Fidonet and what it offers.

    I'd say convenient. But the end result is comfort too. ;)
