I think importing #US #Prudishness is always bad, so thanks #BanEater for taking a deep dive into that #TV #Censorship device that @TechConnectify looked into...

• People swearing in media in #Germany is normal ffs!

Censoring #Queer, #Lesbian and #Sex is just bad.

• And as shit as it sounds I'm glad we didn't get #NTSC #ClosedCaption but #Teletext instead in #PAL-Land!

Repeat after me: "THROWING TECHNOLOGY AFTER SOCIAL ISSUES IS NOT A SOLUTION!"

Also Prudish folks are the real language facists as they want to force their bs. upon others.

• Sorry but your reactionary world view doesn't represent reality!

Mistodon: RIP to #BlackSabbath frontman #OzzyOsbourne, who just went to that great metal gig in the sky. #Teletext portrait by Horsenburger, originally shared in the spooky MIST1017 artpack collection released 8 years ago.

Mistodon: this double-wide, double-tall #teletext portrait was a study by @atonalosprey, included in the new, unthemed MIST0625 artpack collection.

MUTA SOLO is an ongoing series of solo exhibitions by artists working in Teletext. The artworks are broadcasted on the Museum of Teletext Art, MUTA pages

2012 Do you go where I go?

Mistodon: a longtime fan of HAL 9000, @pixelblip has been quite excited at the popular emergence of #AI helper agents and copilots, for better or for worse. What we see here is a #teletext portrait of "GePeet", his attempt at human-illustrating #GPT's description of its own appearance. This screen was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

I actually miss Teletext... It was like the world wide web before we had it.

THIS is how we got our news at any time we wanted.

It's fabulous you can actually get this working again with new content!

Ich habe gerade etwas im #Teletext nachgeschaut. Weil das schneller ging.

#teletext celebrates 45 years in the Netherlands (and elsewhere).

#gopher and #gemini fans etc. rejoice and unite.

Need to seek out one of these days if there is a text-first #mastodon client (only display images on demand, not by default). Would probably make the flow much more dense, less noisy.
