Upcoming #ChromeOS screen capture feature will make remote instruction even easier tchlp.com/3Wjahrj

@gpowerf All this stupid stuff Elon Musk is doing:
1. Selling verified accounts
2. Taking money for political ads
3. Eliminating ethics policies & filters
4. Unbanning Trump, etc.
5. Cutting 75% of Twitter employment
6. Stiffing partners for services rendered
7. Forcing users to use the official client
...this is all penny ante shit. Petty cash. None of this'll generate $1B & screams desperation. It's so dumb that I think it's more likely performative drama to 'show banks he's trying'.

@kurtsh I read the same article and I am inclined to think that Elon is desperate as you say. Loan payments are coming up and Twitter isn't generating anywhere near enough cash to pay for itself. Bankruptcy is looking very likely.

My dream video game controller would include the following features:

* Offset sticks
* Gyro
* Touchpad
* Fully remappable:
- All buttons are remappable.
- Gyro can be remapped to any analogue input including the mouse.
* Vibration fully adjustable: strength as well as on/off.
* 4 back buttons that click.
* Multiformat.
* Wired and wireless.

@ronald sadly it lacks gyro and back buttons (sorry forgot those!). The XIM Nexus and Bigbig Won Armor X Pro come closer, although they have a lot of other superfluous stuff like turbo and scripts which are not strictly needed and will attract people who simply want to cheat at games.

3 years ago I got this. The adaptor using with the Hyperkin Hyper Blaster HD lightgun for modern TVs. It basically updates the Duck Hunt code to accommodate the added delay introduced by the TV.

@Ryanteck a lot of interesting stuff there already. I’m a huge fan of the Atari 2600, so I’d opt for that.

Isn’t it incredible that two years ago you’d struggle to run this game well on anything other than high end PCs or Stadia and today it is running great on a handheld.

Brands are already on Mastodon.

Specifically, brands that are targeting the "tech community".

They're in listening mode right now to "avoid any bad players or chances of upsetting a Mastodon community".

I honestly can't believe this is true. Are they seriously suggesting that more than 50% of people are just automatons, just reactive action without any thought or deliberation? Or that they just live each day mentally empty until required to interact??

@Eignablanco it might explain why some AI language models seem more human than some humans.

@kurtsh our paid for applications are dead, people who worked on these are out of a job, and the little companies that created these apps will go down. Elon doing a lot of great work there.

Just logged into Twitter for the 1st time in a while. Curious if the API shutdown killed Talon, my paid, ad-free, timeline pure Twitter client for more than a decade.

Yup. It's dead. Fuck you, Elon.
