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 thought I should probably see why people like Windows so much. Check out my sweet new Windows machine! (1997 Compaq C140) #WindowsCE #RetroPortables #retrocomputing
@chaitanyavarsha I don't know, I'm divided on this. Part of me thinks not, and another part of me thinks people will actively defy the ban because people don't like being told what to do.

@gpowerf I have seen this happen before in different countries. For example, in Iran social networks like Facebook, Twitter, etc. have been blocked for many years. (As far as I know, Instagram is not blocked.) This does not appear to have stopped anyone from using it. Blocking things on the Internet is just not technically feasiable; you can try, but it's like trying to stop a river with your hands. They can perhaps remove TikTok from Google Play.
@ben this is exactly my point. You can make accessing a social network illegal, but that will never stop people from accessing it.
@chaitanyavarsha I know it was banned, but did people in their teens and 20s bypass the ban easily? Did they use VPNs? Did they set their app store location to a different country? Or did they even get a new device that wasn't at the mercy of their phone network? There are ways around it and young people will find a way.
I worked late tonight and could only get a few minutes of gaming in. I played #HaloInfinite and this was my best game, in a really far away server because ping was pretty poor. #gaming #gyroaiming
Is banning a hyper-popular and addictive social network even feasible? A ban on #Tiktok is akin to a ban on Star Wars for many people of a certain age. And people of this age are also amongst the most tech-savvy! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-65042762

Was able to capture a new gate code in my community using my Flipper Zero with its new external sub-mhz antenna. There are about 20 gates in my community and I have about 5 now.

Twitter announced removal of legacy verified accounts.
I’ve never seen a feature that had a worse reputation. #Mastodon is looking forward to April 1st.
I’ve actually been waiting for this to happen as I wanted to stick to my 2007 account as long as possible for nostalgic reasons - makes it easier to leave for good (finally).
@adamcsmith Parts of Scotland and one person from West Virginia did that to me.
Another article for Linked in, This is titled "Add variety to keep remote teams engaged"

@cridge17@universeodon.com I understand this meme well. Same problem.
@boelder ah, the inner workings of a Twitch streaming empire!
