I have just changed the ToC for #QOTO.. We replaced the phrase "free speech" With the more appropriate principle of "Academic Freedom". We also changed some subtle wording to be more explicit.

In practice our rules have not changed in any meaningful way. I may make some more tweaks soon.

Full Throttle released 1995 for MS-DOS & Mac OS and 2017 received a HD remaster.

I remember upgrading my 486 PC 4MB RAM to 8MB for £80 just so I could meet the requirements of this game. Yes, that's megabytes!

The superb full motion video and action sequences allowed for up close and personal cut-scenes while also featuring a unique interactive system for talking to characters and using objects. Even featured Mark Hamill as Adrian Ripburger.

Migrating to Mastodon: power and social media dynamics in the great #TwitterMigration https://ift.tt/yF0KVJZ #ntt

Is Mastodon private and secure? My colleague Bill Buddington does some explaining:

Self explanatory statements below. I have a theory on this.
Please boost if you take part

Whilst our little instances are too small to appear on the JoinMastodon page, we still adhere to the covenant that those sites do, including giving 3 months' notice of the instance closing so our users have time to migrate

That's it, the Twitter account is gone. I couldn't keep a clear conscience and stay there, even with it not being my main account. I'm sure there are plenty of people who can ignore Musk's actions but the way he's treated people who worked for him and the kind of people he's replatforming - I can't.

Almost 180k new users joined #mastodon yesterday, a new record. This third #twitterMigration wave happened after Musk's Twitter 2.0 ultimatum to #Twitter workers. Each wave is stronger than the previous one. Here is my updated plot showing the three consecutive waves.

7,185,878 accounts

Much like cars over the decades, watches have generally become larger and chunkier too.

#Casio’s first Databank Calculator watch, the DBC 600 released in 1985 and Casio’s (to date) last Databank Calculator watch, the DBC-32D, released in 2004.

Thanks to Elon’s obsession with retaining employees who contributed the most lines of code, I keep getting reminded of a classic Hindi play from 1881, Bharatendu Harishchandra’s Andher Nagari.

Andher Nagari (darkness / ignorance city) is ruled by Chaupat Raja (literally, useless king), who ordered that vegetables and sweets would both cost a taka a ser (or a penny a pound) in his kingdom.

A fat monk sees this and decides to stay in the city, stuffing himself with expensive sweets sold at a penny a pound, though his guru warns him to move on, it is dangerous to stay in a place ruled by such a king.

The final act is that when a wall collapses and kills someone’s ass, the king orders the house owner to hang. He blames the builder who built the wall. The builder blames the bricklayer, who blames the guy that poured too much water into the cement. When the water guy is brought in for hanging, he says he was distracted by the police chief who was marching his men down the road. So the police chief is sentenced to hang.

Problem is he’s skinny and thanks to the king all the ropes are tied in the same standard noose size, too large for the man’s neck. So the king orders them to hang the first fat man they see, and that is the fat monk, who is rudely shaken out of his sleep after a big lunch.

As the monk is about to hang, his guru arrives and begs the king to hang him instead, because, he claims, whoever hangs in the city on that day would be reborn as its next king.

The king believes the guru and .. sentences himself to death.

@gpowerf Love that little PC Engine you have there! I've just got hold of a tiny Retroflag/RetroPi SNES, its definitely the cutest gaming device Ive ever owned (and it knows it!)
