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.

Usually only uncover this to give it a stroke 😄, but as I haven't fired it up in a while I thought I'd have a quick outdoor play before the crap weather sets in. Keyboard cleaning brush is perfect for the grooves!

The UK is going to ban 'XL bully' dog breeds. But the problem with those dogs isn't with the breed itself; it's with people who get them purely as a status symbol. The kind of person who gets a status dog isn't the kind of person who will train their dog properly. If they can't get an XL bully, they'll get a different "well 'ard" dog, such as a rottweiler, German shepherd or doberman - and then we'll see an increase in attacks from those breeds.
@ephemeromorph exactly this. This ban won't work.

@seanogrady it would be nice if we knew exactly what genetic markers make these dogs aggressive. That way, we would have an accurate definition of bad genetics.
@carnage4life scary times for the tech sector indeed.

I can’t get over the rapid shift in power dynamics where various blue collar workers are going on strike snd earning 20% to 40% wage increases while tech workers are being laid off by email and threatened with losing their jobs if they don’t take their Zoom calls from the office.

@seanogrady my point is that it's very easy to move onto another similar breed. I'm scared of chow chows having been attacked by a couple as a kid. Chow chows are legal here and banned in various places, including parts of the United States, so dangerous breeds still exist here. I still think the core problem is owners who want a dog simply because it is vicious. https://chowchowgalaxy.com/why-are-chow-chows-banned/

Did the guy on the left use this weirdly short rapier in a duel against the dead (?) guy in white and red? No visibile wound, though. #StThomas was a short-lived Prussian colony, located in the Carribean, in the late 17th and early 18th century. Don't worry if you haven't heard of it before. After all, now that you know about this game, it is your opportunity to learn, isn't it?
@seanogrady sadly, the article is behind a wall. But I'm inclined to agree that in general, bans like these are not ideal. From what I can see, the issue is largely the owners and not the animals.
We've all come across someone who owns a Ford Escort, or Corvette that's super common and claims is "rare" or a "classic" or "collectible" etc... your 8 year old Lenovo can be just as glorious.
I think we should start taking pride in older hardware. Don't say you have an "old phone", instead, say, "I own a rare classic phone."

@LouisIngenthron I'm half serious, I'm well aware that migrating won't be an easy task.
