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.

@freemo you'd have to actually swap letter positioning. Doable... but your typing speed will seriously suffer 😀

Interesting fact of the day: Current technology can recover your typed keys with 96% accurately from only a sound recording of you typing.
@freemo now you got me thinking. There’s a challenge here to be met. There’s got to be a way to create a keyboard that randomises the sound it emits artificially. Surely there’s a market for a high security keyboard.
@darnell@one.darnell.one @BBCRD @darnell@darnell.day I’m hopeful that institutions and individuals will eventually see that the freedom afforded to them by joining the Fediverse with their own servers is unrivalled. 🤞 maybe the BBC has realised this and is willing to play the long game.
Twitter as we knew it is dead, it’s pretty much a cesspit now. There has to be a point soon where simply being there damages an institution’s image.

Great story!
I think there's another reason for BBC keeping a Mastodon presence while leaving Threads. It's the institutional aspect.
Setting up its own instance is a serious project to build BBC infrastructure. This means BBC on Mastodon is backed by a team and dedicated funding.
Meanwhile I'd guess the BBC Threads account was just thrown at the existing BBC social media team.
This links to why I think Fediverse has most potential, because the projects here are more serious.
@darwinwoodka @BBCRadio4 it would be interesting to see if couples who eat protein rich diets have mostly boys. It’s anecdotal, but we had our son when my wife and I went to the gym daily and ate a lot of protein, we had our daughter after when we didn’t work out as much or eat as much protein.

Every year more boys than girls are born, but sometimes the ratio gets even more out of whack. It's been called 'the returning soldier effect'. What causes it? Professor Hannah Fry investigates, on BBC Sounds.

#Meta will not be pleased that @BBCRD has abandoned #Threads while still maintaining their self hosted #Mastodon account.
👉🏾 #BBC Gives Up On Threads (By #Instagram), Sticks With Mastodon https://darnell.day/bbc-gives-up-on-threads-by-instagram-sticks-with-mastodon (via @darnell@darnell.day)
Too Long; Did Not Read:
👉🏾 Many brands are abandoning Threads (including #NFL)
👉🏾 Meta’s geo news ban of #Canada 🇨🇦 could have spooked BBC
👉🏾 Lack of public Threads API makes it difficult to automate posting news
👉🏾 BBC just prefers Mastodon
@freemo you do know that this is bound to make people so paranoid that they will swap micro switches on their keyboard around every couple of days? 😄
@SinclairSpeccy take care. Your health is too priority.

Oiled and equipped with a main board from an original Game Boy. It fits almost perfectly along with the (non-original) power switch and battery contacts. Now I need some spare time for the top half. 1/2

Cell phones have revolutionized hearing strangers lie in public
@georgetakei Wow! It's an accusation, so innocent until proven guilty and all that.
But it's certainly a shocking accusation.

Good little truck doing good little truck stuff.
@Basmitharts thankfully basic HiLuxes, D-Maxes, and Tritons still exist 😀 the little (OK, not so little in 2023) Japanese truck ain't dead.

@gamingonlinux Hogwarts Legacy is still up there :) cool. And I'm surprised to see people playing Starfield on Deck, or Cyberpunk. Cool stuff.
@the_white_wolf OK yes, good point. I do tend to forget about AAA titles as I mostly play older games or indie games.
