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.

Hey #retrobubble. I'm want to connect my #c64 to the world. So far I've got an #ultimate1541ii+, however I didn't do more than connecting to it via telnet. I'm thinking of getting a #wic64 - is there any better way?

Journalist request:
Do you use any kind of generative AI tool regularly, either to communicate with others, or to make plans, in your work or personal life? If so, I would like to talk to you.
Note: openAI’s various tools, or Bard, or Bing chat, or whatever other tool, even if it’s integrated into something else, all qualify.
Thanks in advance!

Got an email for someone requesting a license for Acorn 4, because that’s the last release that would work on Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
I absolutely just sent them one, and I'm extremely jealous because they get to use a great OS and they aren't even going to keep it connected to the internet. ÜberZen.
@ccgus living the dream!

They are mostly not wrong but we have built a society where this attitude is seen as being "unproductive" and a problem to fix.

@DazzlingDamo Nobody dies regretting that they didn't stay in the office later, that their house wasn't large enough, or that they didn't upgrade their car every 2 years without fail. However, plenty of people do die regretting that they didn't see their kids grow up, or that they didn't tell their spouse they loved them when they needed, etc... This is a sensible swap for younger people.
@vooksdotnet oh wow! I love the transparent look :) I miss when this was commonplace.
Whenever I read about or hear about a conspiracy theory and the supposed enemy is "they" I can't help but roll my eyes.
A bit of politics-inspired competition is about to speed up technological development. Space tech, chips, cars, etc... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-66753675

@peter It's a shame, traditional HTML Gmail is very nice and super fast, but I can understand Google's perspective on this one, if most users are on the new one and the new one has been out for over a decade I can see why they want to stop maintaining the legacy HTML email.
