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.

Any junior manager would have understood that people in a company have choices, and bullying is completely wrong.
But not that man-child.
Musk is no way one quarter as smart as he's made out to be.
@BrianLinuxing I'm very glad. Their sacrifice benefits the whole industry. I don't want other tech companies to think it is OK to treat employees like dirt simply because Elon Musk does it.
@manu become a photographer. I'm sure a lot of people want to see pictures of Elon at Twitter HQ looking gormlessly confident.

Twitter nonsense
So... if I'm following this correctly, a week ago Elon ended remote work and said everyone needs to come into the office.
Then he demands that by end of day today employees sign a "I'm hardcore" oath, which less than 50% signed.
And now... he's shut down all the offices that he demanded everyone come back to for a few days in order to officially fire everyone who didn't sign?

Y con este maravilloso logo y este anuncio me largo a la cama… por cierto, dicen las malas lenguas que el vw escarabajo está basado en este coche de Tatra, una maravilla aerodinámica de la época. Como el Bugatti 100P, casi se podrían considerar arte! (Del Bugatti dicen que es un avión Art Decó)

@cedric I always preferred Casio. No other reason than I was as better at programming Casio ones than TI ones simply because I learned to do it first.
@jwildeboer @libreoffice I’m divided on this one. On the one hand it does seem like a stretch, but on the other I’m curious to see if they come up with a super innovative and cool use of the Blockchain which makes us rethink what an office suit is capable of.
Essentially as a LibreOffice user I’m open minded.

I decided to delete my Twitter account, so rather than procrastinating, Just got on with it.

@shareefjackson totally agree. It's incredible what they manage to sell this console for.
@mguhlin @edutooters I run the standard Debian distro which is fine as I normally run a Debian/Ubuntu based distro on other devices. And you are right, Android apps can be very useful too.
Even for games, there's a lot of Android games you can enjoy on a Chromebook with a larger screen and a controller.
@mguhlin @edutooters I find the Linux container very useful. If you have a relatively powerful Intel based Chromebook and you are familiar with Linux then in my humble opinion a Chromebook is a phenomenal daily driver for most tasks.
Microsoft is cutting the price of the little Series S for Christmas. I don't know if this will be reflected in the UK. #gaming #xp https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/17/23462212/microsoft-xbox-series-s-price-cut-black-friday-deal

I am not sure what is wrong with the image shown but thankfully here we don't have to put up with nonsense such as this.

I've just made a quick-and-dirty FIFA World Cup Viewer for Atari 800XL with FujiNet's json parser. #Atari #FujiNet #OpenLigaDB #8bit

What gets me about this is how badly wrong people are consistently trying to use Birdsite.
It is a *micro* blogging platform.
Threads are useful for all sorts, but planning long-form text to a microblogging system shows a failure to understand the platform (or the web).
That Twitter is encouraging it is worse (if unsurprising).
Microblogging: Twitter, Mastodon
Blogging (or Macroblogging): Wordpress, or other full blogging platform
Somewhere in the middle: Tumblr

I've requested an archive of my three most important Twitter accounts. I have a feeling that if Twitter starts having issues, the **Request Archive** feature probably won't be a priority. 🤣
