@deltatux it might make for a fun betting game. Is Musk lying again or not? It’s a super stupid idea, and it will be hugely unpopular. He’s also a huge liar, but also prone to implementing super stupid ideas.

@OtherRetroMatt it’s weirdly fun watching Twitter die. It’s not often that we see something as large and seemingly death proof be killed by a man’s arrogance.

@gpowerf I blocked every promoted tweet I ever saw and was up to 14,000 blocked accounts.

The moron has just shot the dying corpse of Twitter repeatedly in the head

@Chromino I don’t think it violates the App Store rules like some are claiming. I interpret the rule as the platform having the ability to remove users, not the users having the ability to block each other.

Lol! I’m sure ’s impulsive decision to remove the block feature from the website formerly known as is down to scripts that auto-block blue checks 😂

I’ve run one for a while, made the place better.

On a whim, I dug out the old IBM Thinkpad T40.

It actually fires up and boots (windows xp). Don’t talk to the home wifi, as wifi standards have moved on somewhat.

Seems I had a dual boot confit on this, so now trying to boot ubuntu 7.

@krafty it depends what you are used to 😄 roads are bigger here than in the UK where I normally drive, and I drive a pickup there so I’m used to larger cars and tiny roads.

@darth don’t worry, you aren’t missing anything. I have a Series S and it performs super well for the cost, but PC Game Pass does everything the Xbox does anyway.

You know what? I actually really enjoy driving in the Philippines. I’ve driven plenty over the last week or so in both a Fortuner (love that SUV!!!!) and a little Hyundai Accent (sorry don’t love that so much) and it’s pretty chill and relaxed despite what people tell you. I’ve driven here before but this time around I put did way more Kms and I love it.

Seeing as I just shared this with someone considering buying from Japan for the first time, here’s my little guide based on my experience with buying retro stuff using proxy services re-enthused.com/information/bu

@richardtroupe I miss the days when things worked without having to have a subscription to something… wanna play against a friend? Grab the second controller, no online anything.

@jonn_blanchard indeed. They are. They’ve shows us time and time again that piracy is actually the best game preservation effort we have right now. But it doesn’t need to be this way, we need official video game archives just like we have film archives or art museums.

Gaming /Apocalyptic 

@gpowerf yep, the pirates might be our saviours

@darth they can indeed. As long as people continue using Windows and paying for Game Pass they probably don’t care.
