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.

Game 74: Guardians (1991), by Loriciel.
What do Guardians do? Well, they place blocks coming from the "reservoir" on the upper "plane" to form "cohesions" so that the "Triffids" from the lower "plane" cannot escape and destroy your blocks (and score). You also have a limited amount of "time."
A bit like Tetris or Match-N games, but French.

Tesla’s new version 11.4 of its "Full Self-Driving Beta" software, in which a Tesla can choose not to stop or even slow down while driving past pedestrians crossing the road, is an admitted improvement over version 11.3, in which the Tesla would speed up while flashing the message “Assassination Coordinates locked.”

If you launch a game without text and UI scaling - why do you hate my eyes?

What could Google have been thinking when it started selling dot-zip top-level domain names. This is such a terrible idea that you have to wonder whether something beyond stupid is involved..
In any case, you should NEVER, EVER click on a URL that ends in .zip.

I strike a fierce pose for the camera, then another, and another.
“Can you just stand still?” the x-ray tech sighs.

I haven’t used #Windows as a daily driver in more than 5 years, so when I look at it, it’s with the eyes of someone who is not used to its weird, or, frankly, bad, design. I’ve worked in UX for 10 years, and some decisions Windows made are really sub-par.
And still, the bad user experience of Windows has a negative impact on #Linux desktops. Here is why!

No need to worry. My suggestion is to begin with a straightforward and user-friendly Linux distribution. Once you become comfortable with the command-line interface and other functions, you can switch to a more advanced distribution. Personally, I utilize the Ubuntu LTS desktop as my primary operating system for completing my tasks. As I am occupied with work, I don't have much time to experiment with the latest technologies. However, your experience may differ.

I thought this series is a really good explanation on why Egyptions are mad about the #Netflix Cleopatra documentary.
Part 1:

The count is:
China: 3
India: 1
Japan: 1
China wins this I guess :)
Finally, the Wuling Hongguang Mini EV because these would be great in busy cities. Ideal second car for local trips.
Is it safe? No, however, don't view this as a "car" this is an ideal alternative to a bike or scooter. On 20 to 30 MPH roads these would be perfect. #weirdCarMastodon
OK, this isn't rare in much of the world. But this one specific version is! The BT-50 Storm available in Australia. #weirdCarMastodon
Hongqi H9! Hongqi yeah, and I did say "affordable". Well not all Hongqis are like the well known L5 that's priced at $800k!
Some are more affordable than that and this is one of them :)
This smaller model is either 5,137 mm or 5,337 mm so it is still huge despite not being the bigger L5 :) #WeirdCarMastodon
Really today I want this more than any Cadillac! This is so cool.
Now for the GWM Tank 300, this beast is not only affordable but also has lockable front and rear diffs. #WeirdCarMastodon
5 vehicles not sold here that I would love to have someday. None of these is insanely expensive, they are just average (even affordable) that I really like.
First of all the Mahindra Pik Up Dawn Special Edition. #WeirdCarMastodon #thread

Diet sodas are not actually good for your diet, WHO guidance suggests
Artificial sweeteners don't help control weight, and that's where the problems start.
