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.

I upgraded my main laptop to #Fedora 38. One click in the Software Center, it downloaded everything in about 5 minutes, and the upgrade itself took around the same amount of time. Everything works after rebooting, except the Quick Settings Tweaker and Dark mode switcher extensions, which are not crucial, so I’d say it was pretty damn smooth! I’m always amazed at how simple our desktops have become these days…
Will upgrade the desktop today as well!
I have met many wealthy and successful people in my life, but some of the unhappiest people I have ever met are also among them.
I believe that this is because they are driven by greed. Greed is a powerful motivator, but it can also be a destructive force. I believe that finding joy and contentment in life requires more than just money and recognition. It requires a different kind of motivation than greed... contentment comes from within.

The next time you are about to speak, take a moment to think about the consequences of your words. Are you sure that what you are about to say is worth saying? Are you sure that it will not hurt or offend anyone? If you are not sure, it is better to remain silent.
Has anyone trained an #AILanguageModel to do Commodore 64 BASIC V2 and 6510 assembly?
If you have let me know :) You have a potential paid user here. #retrocomputing

My Tank mice have arrived, along with 2 USB-DB9 adaptors which support the Amiga, C64 & Atari ST (don't have any Atari's).
They are wireless but the receivers are stored inside each mouse

One of my hobbies is scale 4x4 vehicles. Here are photos of a couple of them.
There’s such a large demand for mid-size electric pickups in the mining sector that mining electric vehicle provider MEVCO is building EV Toyota HiLuxes because Toyota itself won’t do it. #WeirdCarMastodon #carsofmastodon
I'm pretty happy with the 50 FPS you can get out of Dirt 5 on Steam Deck. The lows happen at the very start of the race so really you get 50 pretty much throughout. #SteamDeck #gamingonlinux

I just packed up my #Intellivision and re-hooked up my #ColecoVision. (space issues) I couldn’t find my Atarimax flash cart, so I had to go on a dig. Here’s a shoebox full of old #atarivcs /#Atari2600, Intellivision, and Colecovision games. That’s not all. I have a lot more, but that’s what you get for now. #retrogaming

I ordered my Mini Fig Pi two days ago, and it arrived today! Of course, @ben_shockley
and I are both in the KC area, so your results may vary. 😁
These are 1:1 scale with actual LEO Minifigures, so they're obviously tiny, but surprisingly so when holding one. 🤏 🔍

There it is: Germany's second big public broadcaster is teasing, that it will start posting on #Mastodon tomorrow as @ZDF That account has 3200 follower, on #Twitter its 1,4 million.
I'm sure it will start to grow quickly and get a headstart on the other big public broadcaster #ARD, which has labeled its first account a test (@NDR).
Of course it would also be a headstart on the big public broadcasters, that are arguing with #Twitter.

Luna is neat, it is kinda like Game Pass in that you have a pool of games to play but unlike Game Pass cloud gaming actually works and performs well. The UI is simple and intuitive like Stadia was.
