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.

“Not only has funding dried up for cash-burning start-ups over the last year, but now, fraud is also in the air, as investors scrutinize start-up claims more closely and a tech downturn reveals who has been taking the industry’s “fake it till you make it” ethos too far.” 🔥 https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/15/business/silicon-valley-fraud.html
@darth I’m simply wishing for a Luna competitor here 😄
@Cuddy2977 I don’t understand protest that are obstructive and destructive like this. They are two players who spent a long time preparing for a competition, they don’t deserve this obstruction. I don’t even know what the protest is about but they can sod off like you said.

A Nigerian living in the UK has "discovered" a new lake and named it Iyi Ojemba.
Mazi Uba Acho, a native of Igbo Naton in W Africa, highlighted the absurdity of the colonialist mindset that sought to claim discovery of places already known to locals. He cited Mungo Park's claim to the River Niger in Nigeria and David Livingstone's claim to the Zambezi River, Zambia, and Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.

I’m not sure that BBC pay-walking BBC content behind Brit Box is really acceptable.
I’m paying for a tv license that finds their output, so surely it should all be available up front to paying license holders?
It light be legal, I assume, but it’s certainly not ethical.

Colored droplets in corn syrup seemingly blended together can be returned to their original state by reversing the direction of mixing, a form of laminar flow called "Stokes flow".

You don't need to use link shorteners on Mastodon!
All links on Mastodon count as 23 characters towards your post limit, no matter how long the links actually are.
Link shortener services like bit.ly, t.co etc track users who click on their links, so Mastodon removed any practical need to use them. If you still use link shorteners on Mastodon, it will be obvious to everyone that you are just doing it for tracking purposes.

@nixCraft this is what anti-emulation people mean by “I prefer real hardware!” Oooooh… OK.
