This is my fun social media account, I will post a lot of video game stuff (mostly old or cloud gaming) and some work stuff.
If I post an image with no Alt text it is because the image is just there for decoration and doesn't provide any extra meaning to the toot.

Norway wants Facebook behavioural advertising banned across Europe.
Norway has told the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) it believes a countrywide ban on Meta harvesting user data to serve up advertising on Facebook and Instagram should be made permanent and extended across Europe.

I understand and sympathize with the Manhattan Borough president trying to get public agencies to invest in building a following in places other than X, but advocating for it to happen on Threads without even acknowledging that this just puts them at the whims of a *different* private company seems shortsighted at best.
Does he simply not know the fediverse exists, I wonder?
@mimsical Normies, for lack of a better word, don't understand the importance of federation and being able yo run their own servers independent of anyone else.

I wanted to see if ChatGPT could put me out of the job, so I asked it to write a funny fake fact. To my surprise, it literally just plagiarized one of my own facts. Nearly word for word. I'd say my position remains safe for now.
At the rink again, skating and watching my son practise hockey. Barrier hockey.

So I am starting a #FLOSS HAM community.. Think apache for Ham radio. The idea is to address the state of open source software and standards in HAM radio.
Anyone, particularly open-source devs have any interest in talking to me about this, even if its just to make sure their ideas are considered as I launch... but people who want to help more directly are welcome too.

In fact, it's a portable console! 😇

@vingtroiseize that perspective makes the Saturn look even bigger than it is!
#Mitsubishi is one of those car brands which is pretty much the walking dead. It’s basically surviving in Europe by selling Renaults, now dead in China, surviving with just a handful of Outlander sales in North America, and only doing well in South East Asia and Oceania with pickup sales but not dominating any market and generally coming after Toyota,Nissan, Ford, and Isuzu.I don’t see how they could last a couple of decades more! And controlling Nissan isn’t much better. https://www.autofun.ph/news/sluggish-sales-and-the-rise-of-local-brands-mitsubishi-motors-to-end-vehicle-production-in-china-73947

OK. But the cool thing about ChromeOS is that it has built-in Android and Linux containers, and that it is tightly integrated with Android and the rest of the Google stuff.
Microsoft is prepping a web-focused version of Windows designed to challenge Chrome OS's dominance in the educational sector. #microsoft #windows12...

I bought an Embody Chair not very long after they came out, went to look at buying another one and nearly choked on the price. WTH?

First look at the Magnavox all transistor radio I picked up earlier today , mercury battery type is no longer manufactured. It’s a nuisance but not the end. I’ll hook up 4.5v DC using clips to test it and will most likely kludge a battery pack of 3x AAA to get close enough.
Nice to see the instructions inside.
