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.

One more Elon post.
Rolling Stone has a rather scathing opinion piece published today that speculates Twitter will go poof very soon. They detail many of Elon's bonehead moves, as well as his personal decent into madness, racism, bigotry, and conspiracy theories.

If anyone asks why my posts now come with Swedish translations.

@Basmitharts @Mark A Suzuki SJ and it would be involved in many high-speed pursuits, it would catch up with modern cars (even EVs) and nobody would ever mention it's weird that this is happening.

@tom_warren Is this what modern #UX looks like? Kinda feels like #Linux has influenced #MacOS which has influenced #Linux which is now influencing #Windows11.
I'm not on #Windows11 yet but what little I've seen reminds me a lot of the #GNOME environment as I've seen in #Ubuntu from time to time.
Uber has sent me an advert asking me to go camping via Uber.
1) This is weird! Who goes camping in a taxi?
2) How does Uber know I like camping so much?

Back to Mastodon after the previous server I was on shutdown. I am studying natural language processing currently at the University of Bonn in Germany. I've been adding all sorts of academics on Mastodon from https://github.com/nathanlesage/academics-on-mastodon and am interested to expand my academic circles, especially as our work has been heading in more interdisciplinary directions. #UniBonn #NLP #AI #McMaster
I don’t know what possessed me, but I bought this cheesy thing! Anyway, now my truck’s gear shifter is wearing a hoody!!! #WeirdCarMastodon

Just completed another Mastodon migration, this time from the https://c64.chat instance, which is very sadly going to disappear on December 1st.
Since my previous account is going away, I guess an #introduction is in order.
I live in Rome, Italy (I'm from Naples, though), I'm in my early fifties, and in the last year and a half I started to finally understand more stuff about the #Commodore64 , mainly thanks to the #XCBASIC cross compiler (if you're curious: https://xc-basic.net/ ).
I still have to learn plenty more, but in the meantime I had the audacity to put a couple of little #C64 games on https://jjflash.itch.io
I'm quite sad that c64.chat is going to shut down, I also hope to feel at home here just like I did there :)

this is quite possibly the funniest preview of a news story Mastodon has ever generated
Two very affordable #Acer #ChromebookPlus laptops :)
I'm a big fan of my older Acer 714 Core i3 :) These are very similar laptops. #chromeos

Google used to give you #Stadia free for a while when you bought a #Chromebook. Now you'll get #Photoshop. #ChromeOS https://www.msn.com/en-ae/news/other/chromebook-plus-buyers-will-get-a-free-trial-of-the-new-web-based-photoshop/ar-AA1hBZhE
I am in favour of banning the sale of cigarettes, but not the personal cultivation and consumption of tobacco.
At a personal level, I really dislike cigarette smoke and I don't trust the tobacco industry one bit. I believe that cigarettes are a deadly product that has been marketed in a deceptive and predatory way over the years. I also believe that the tobacco industry has done a great deal of harm to public health, both through its products and its lobbying efforts.
However, I am generally not in favour of banning things. I believe that people should have the freedom to make their own choices, even if those choices are harmful to themselves. I also believe that prohibition often has unintended consequences, such as creating black markets and increasing crime.
For these reasons, I believe that the best way to reduce smoking rates is to make it more difficult for people to buy cigarettes. Banning the sale of cigarettes would make it much harder for young people to start smoking, and it would also make it more difficult for people who are trying to quit.
I recognize that there are some people who have a genuine appreciation for tobacco and its culture.For this reason, I believe that it is important to allow people to grow and consume their own tobacco, even if cigarettes are banned. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-67010681
