Fedi via Teletext has to be one of the best ideas I've had in a while

Public

Public

@enfys What a blast from the past, teletext! So cool!

Public

Public

Public

@enfys Image descriptions and alt text on 888

@enfys my brain is both celebrating and refusing to accept it. That's awesome

Public

@enfys That's sooo fckn cool, I love it ❤️

Quiet public

@enfys you're a genius

@enfys

Swedish public service TV still supports teletext and I use it daily to catch up on the day's headlines, via the antenna on the roof.

Back in the 70's I bought a DIY kit to make a home terminal connected to a 300 baud acoustic modem for school. It used a teletext chip and simply hooked up to my TV. So cool.

@leffe @enfys
Also here in Italy, Teletext is still supported by our digital TVs!

@enfys You jnow German Teletext services were doing that with Twitter for years now. You tweet somtghing under a special hashtag and they'll curate it and put it onto a special "newsflash" page.

Public

@enfys Germany here. I want my Fedi's via fax machine!

@urbautz @enfys Du meintest @c3fax ?

@enfys

Quiet public

@enfys Tell more!!!

Public

@enfys I love this so much!

Public

@vosje62 Doe mij denken aan de tijd dat #BZK internet te beschikking stelde aan iedereen met #Teletekst. Wanneer is dat geweest? 1997, 1998? #dtv

Quiet public

@enfys so cool!!

Quiet public

@enfys teletext was so magical to me when i was a kid. that's so funny to think back on. i take the internet for granted now

Public

@enfys @TheBreadmonkey
It’s sure to catch on!

Public

@JoshuaACNewman @enfys @TheBreadmonkey The wave of the future!

Quiet public

@enfys WHOA!! So cool. Looks similar to how it looks on Lynx.

Public
Public

@enfys OH MY GOD?

Public

@enfys

BBC Micro Mode 7 probably was the best feature for use today 😉

Public

@simonzerafa the original plan was to give it a go through serial on my bbc micro but this ended up being slightly easier 😅

Public

@enfys

I used Mode 7 almost exclusively. Freed up so much RAM 😌

Quiet public

@simonzerafa @enfys Ah, I was just about to ask "Does this work on a BBC Micro?"

Quiet public

@kelpana @simonzerafa @enfys definitely... you just need the Acorn ANE01 teletext "cheese wedge" 😅

Public

@enfys watching this space

Quiet public

@enfys

How? :neofox_surprised:

Public

@enfys ... but ... how?! 🤔

p.s.: nice hack! 👍 📺

Quiet public

@enfys, alt text's wrong – says 2 Aug, not 8 Feb.

Quiet public

@lp0_on_fire this was taken before i set the date format correctly to dd/mm/yy from mm/dd/yy

Quiet public

@enfys @lp0_on_fire bow before the superior YY/MM/DD, peasants.

Quiet public

@MxVerda, no. There's a Y2K-type problem there.

Quiet public

@lp0_on_fire YYYY/MM/DD you goddamn dweeb

Public

@enfys that is amazing

Public
@enfys all of the yes
Public

@enfys WHAAAAAAAAHAHA

Public

@enfys Amazing. With football league tables available and now potentially Mastodon too, the future is looking brighter by the day.

Public

@enfys want that

Quiet public

@enfys

I worked in insurance during the late 80s, buying fax machines (for ££££s). Our brokers were concerned at the loss of certainty; the handshake at both ends, as it were.

Quiet public

@enfys But...but how?

Public

@enfys I feel young again!!!

Quiet public

@enfys

CEEFAX FOREVER!

Public

@enfys A match made in heaven. Man, I loved Teletext.

Public

@enfys yes! Gods I miss teletext. >~<

Public
@enfys Nice! How did you interface it?
