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.

@ericwinnert indeed. It seemed like every rock star from the 70s and 80s bragged about having a lot of sex, for example look at this recently article: https://www.comicsands.com/gene-simmons-kiss-aging-sex-2665547592.html?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=infeed&utm_campaign=linkprogram

Lol. Lmao. How is this a real post from Unity?! About the original removal of their TOS GitHub.
"We removed it way before the pricing change was announced because the views were so low, not because we didn't want people to see it."
Sure, nothing to do with it being replaced and the protections for developers being removed. Which you pinky promise you won't do again.
@ThePlant really awesome t-shirt!
@AnnieRat1 I'm always tempted to respond like that but also scared that I may be burning a bridge that may be useful someday.

Unity nuked their Terms of Service on GitHub as 'views were so low' https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/09/unity-nuked-their-terms-of-service-on-github-as-views-were-so-low/

Saying 'probly' instead of 'probably' is sometimes frowned upon, but the word 'probably' itself was shortened from 'probablely' (two L's!) by the same process.
This process is called haplology. One of two consecutive similar syllables is deleted:
-le-ly
-ba-bly
More examples:
@gamingonlinux lol! The views were low? They are TOS not a TikTok video. I'm trying really hard to view them as a bunch of people who made a mistake, but they are trying really really really hard to be clowns.

Deleted 𝕏 app, again. Mind you, it's not about Elon Musk. It's always about the mentality of users there. I am at odds with most of them.
Unusual cozy energy surrounds the place where you are reading this post. I can't quite put a finger on it. It's like most users here are emotionally mature. That's my subjective observation.
@darth it's driven by the algorithm. Almost everyone on Twitter is engagement farming, posting things of no value but designed to get a reaction. This completely diminishes the value of the social network and makes everyone seem brain dead.

New Video: PCs of 8-bit: The NEC PC-8801MC
A whole lot of Z80 based machines were made but some of the most interesting models came from Japan, we look at one of NECs last https://youtu.be/tYRTETFKcpE
@trinsec I bought one for my wife, I never intended to get one for myself. I was happy with Ubuntu as a laptop daily driver. Eventually, I switched 😀 my desktop is Pop!_OS now, but laptop is a Chromebook.

One of the most surprising things about the #RussellBrand documentary and accusations is how much the culture has changed in the last 20 years. Specifically, British culture was very misogynistic, at the time we couldn't see it. But it's crystal clear today. #LadCulture was essentially everywhere and normalised.
@trinsec they are really pretty good. With Crostini they are super useful, and they boot up so so fast.
@darth I LOVE Metroidvania style games, but they take commitment. Try some of the Castlevania games for GBA, amazing games!
@darth I loved Halo and Halo 2 back in the day 😍 the new games have lost some lustre for sure. They've failed to keep up with the times but it's still fun to see where they've got to.
