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 am sorry to report that the last two publications recognizable as computer magazines in the classic sense have abandoned print. (You probably didn’t notice unless you were a subscriber.) I was moved to write a eulogy for the whole era. https://www.technologizer.com/2023/04/15/the-end-of-computer-magazines-in-america/

John Mastodon’s rocket wouldn’t have exploded. Just sayin’.

Breaking News: Elon Musk has asked NASA for technical assistance following SpaceX's failed launch attempt. NASA immediately responded with a poop emoji.
After moving on from Stadia to both an Xbox Series S and a Steam Deck I have to say that if I could only have a Steam Deck or an Xbox I’d choose the Steam Deck. It’s just more practical despite the super obvious lack of power compared to the Xbox. #gaming

Pope Francis lost his Blue Check status today because the Catholic Church wouldn’t pay $8/month to Twitter.
I guess the Pope sees Twitter Blue as a needless indulgence.

Successfully ported the #C64 #KERNAL and #BASIC to my small #ASM6502 #assembler.
Was able to produce exact replicas of the original ROMs. Nice to see the own built ROMs booting 😀
I lost all my progress. I had won every trophy… but does it matter? No! 😄
Yay!!! The Crew 2 is supported by GFN now! I can play the game I played the most on Stadia again 😄 via GFN on an Xbox… but it’s all good. #cloudgaming #GFN

ChatGPT's party trick would be a lot less impressive if the modern web wasn't such a hard to navigate mess.
For some reason, I'm trying to come up with humorous nicknames for Steven Seagal, so far:
* Sensei Gravy Seal
* Sensei Lazy Peel
* Master Lazy Boy
* Mister Recliner Fighter
* Sensei Waddle Kick
* Sensei Cradle Snatch
* Sensei Flappy Wings
* Master Floppy Limb
* Sensei Cookie Lover
I hope nobody finds this offensive, but Steven Seagal is such a horrible man that he deserves to be a target of some of these names.

Turning an Atari 2600 into a computer...
I just came across this interesting bit of computing history.
Back in 1982, there was a peripheral that turned an Atari 2600 into an (incredibly simple, ZX-Spectrum level) home computer, including a keyboard, BASIC, and cadette support.
But the addon is/was incredibly rare, and there's very little information about it online.
So it's interesting to see there's now a video up on YouTube profiling this device (known as a Spectravideo CompuMate) and how it works...

But seriously, focusing 100% on Mastodon is an intrinsically bad idea.
For one thing, if everyone depends on one thing, we become a monoculture—which becomes a vector for re-centralization.
You need diverse server software, front-ends, and clients to develop a healthy Fediverse ecosystem.
Diversity is good!

Just got a comment from a fellow chastising me for talking about the Fediverse beyond Mastodon.
He thinks we’re dropping the ball on Twitter migration by not focusing 100% on Mastodon.
However, 30% of the Fediverse doesn’t run on Mastodon.
Some server software, like Friendica, was on the Fediverse 6 years before Mastodon was created.
Sorry we’re not shutting things down just because Twitter migrants recently showed up.
