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 watch at least 20 times more YouTube than Netflix. I’m not watching any Netflix TV series at the moment and I perhaps watch a movie once every week or two. If it weren’t for the rest of the family watching more than me I’d cancel my subscription, it’s super poor value for me.
OK! I didn't know free skates existed, and now I want something else to exist.
I imagine an ice hockey boot with a blade mounted sideways. Now you have all the feel of skating or surfing on ice! #skating

Found something interesting in the ewaste bin today. Excited and scared to learn another vintage computing platform. #sgiindy
@Computeforloot nice :) I'm currently using Pop!_OS, Ubuntu, and Debian (if you allow me to count Crostini in ChromeOS).
@Computeforloot I've been with Debian and derivatives for over 20 years :)
Slackware wasn't the first Linux distro, but it's the oldest still alive and kicking.
I never used Slackware, but a good friend of mine did many a moon ago :) This was a memorable time in my life, and I still remember his desktop. #linux https://www.theregister.com/2023/07/20/slackware_turns_30/?td=rt-3a

AI models can ‘learn’ from “content that was itself AI-generated, resulting in a gradual decline in output coherence and quality. With numerous LLMs now available both to professionals and the wider public, the risk of AI cannibalism is becoming increasingly prevalent”

@trinsec I like hot weather, but I don’t fancy 50C 😂
BAdly targeted advert "Beat the heat", here I am wearing a hooding in summer because it is too cold.
@trinsec I will :) I might be biased though, I'm ready to like it :D
But I will try and give you an impartial view.
I’ll be watching the Barbie movie tomorrow with the family 😄
@mstrmustache @mikemathia I'm liking it a lot so far :)
@mikemathia I've been playing Exoprimal, I'm sure I'd shoot one! ;)

Always on the Horizon, UK must wait for megabucks EU science deal - Rishi Sunak fails to secure place in €95.5B program before Parliament packs up for holida... - https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2023/07/20/uk_horizon_membership/
The article reports that Google is experimenting with cutting off some of its staff PCs from the internet to reduce the risk of cyberattacks.
I wonder if this will start to become the norm across the industry. At least for a proportion of workers.
