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.

@nixCraft specs aside I hope they can make then in sufficient numbers, because that's been the issue with the current models. 😔

Also, in the #RetroComputing world, I did spend about an hour yesterday on some #Psion documentation, specifically the first book of the SDK ("General Programming Manual").
The entire book is now in #AsciiDoc, and split into separate chapters (along with a separate file that `include`s all the chapters and the colophon). It's not perfect, but it's in a good enough state for me to put it online somewhere, probably with generated PDFs and EPUBs.

I think names are a doubled-edged sword—at once our best and our worst invention. Labels are handy, but mislabel something and WATCH OUT😁
(Especially when doing a DROP TABLE command in SQL)
@stevoooo well yes. They are probably waiting for it to get really really good before killing ChromeOS.
Seriously, they kind of seem committed to ChromeOS now. But Google will probably Google at some point.
@zep truly spectacular.

@retrosponge yeah, if you needed an affordable PC and you wanted yo do gaming it would be an obvious choice! If I was a student right now, it is what I'd get.

I love that not only do I have a great gaming device in the Steam Deck but also a full Linux desktop as well.
@ThePlant @gamingonlinux that’s like being contacted by a long lost friend and then they ask for money 😒

If you were previously disappointed with the search function on Mastodon, I highly recommend you try it again, as it has improved considerably.
We used to only be able to search for hashtags, but now it feels much more like normal textual search.
@jalefkowit I find myself both offended and in agreement.

One of my favorite #Linux features is that it shuts down when I command it to do so.
"Meta announces AI chatbots with 'personality'"
Too late, Bing chat has been combative, confrontational, and defensive all along. #AI

My number of ongoing tech projects have taken a bit of a nosedive lately while I save money for the Portland Retro Gaming Expo, I'm mostly just retrobriting stuff and changing old batteries for now.
Laurence Fox and Dan Wootton suspended by #GBNews.
Is this surprising? The channel bills itself as "home of free speech" and by "free speech" they mean cringy social media level crap. And who is willing to do that for a living? Edgelords like Laurence Fox and Dan Wooton.
So the "news" channel have to suspend them every 5 minutes? I'm happy with debate, I'm happy to listen to both sides of the isle. But these folk are assclowns! Yes, that's the word, assclowns.

@wiredfire I would edit it if my client wasn't lame 🫠
