@gpowerf @freemo If we've learned one thing about M*sk, it's that he knows how to keep his gob shut. :sarcmark:

I've fed the entire ZX Spectrum games library into a 1980s TV Times template and I swear on my life* that this is what AI has produced.

* = or something equally as worthless.

I've kind of posted an #introduction already since I joined.

In summary I make games for the #vic20 computer which is classed as #vintage or #retro now, using Turbo Rascal. In the future I'll likely make some Amstrad, #C64 and #atari games.

@nullifidian @xtaldave

This one has an excellent "how (not) to", but also has some etiquette pointers.

@xtaldave I have various etiquette questions. The FAQs and pointers all seem great on “how to”s, but not so much on the “you might consider”s.

@trinsec That’s definitely where I went wrong. I’m poised to cut up my Brit-Card if there are further cuppa-related incidents.

I just asked my communications and IT colleagues at #Stanford to consider hosting a #Mastodon server for our University community (as MIT has already done: mastodon.mit.edu).

Such institutional sponsorships (e.g., higher ed, academic associations, etc.) seem like a compelling & sustainable equilibrium for the #TwitterMigration. I also think organizations that do so would benefit in several ways without meaningful new risks.

Utterly failed to boil the kettle this morning, so now I’m making a failed cuppa in the microwave like some kind of savage.

@arclight To our cats it isn’t “murder”, it’s “takeaway”.

@gpowerf My missus has a Mario-world fixation. I am so bad at it it’s embarrassing.

@gpowerf “What do you mean by ‘I have friends’? Explain yourself!”

@davidallengreen @world @EmmaKennedy I’ve seen CW’d posts of more than a ‘phone screen in length, up to 4-5x as long, which currently renders as elongated whitespace which must be scrolled. While this is obviously a usability issue for the official app, it does currently make it problematic tending towards unusable. Shorter introductory posts would be, for the moment, appreciated by many I don’t doubt.
