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.

Does anyone know of any relationship between Bill Gates / Microsoft with Ronald Reagan? Did Microsoft have any meaningful contact with congress or executive during Reagan years? Anything helps here. #ushistory #historyofinformatics #historyofcomputing #histodons

"The fediverse isn't profitable"
Actually, the fediverse is a great place for artists and creators to find support for work they are passionate about and pour their soul into. It's just not profitable for multi-million dollar corporations that want to fill the pockets of already far too wealthy execs.

I wonder if people made comments like this when Bermuda rigged boats came out.
These boat bros from Bermuda just made their boats look like quesadillas. 🤔

@gpowerf A lot of smaller content creators don't get that many sponsors. Plus even big name creators made sponsored content for shady companies like online therapy that collects and sells your data or gambling sites. Furthermore, AdBlock is piracy in my opinion. It's no different than torrenting a movie. I get that people are concerned about their privacy but what they're doing is essentially stealing from these content creators. If they are so concerned they can stop using the platform.
There’s no company that I dislike dealing with in terms of their online presence more than FedEx. My local ice rink comes close in terms of user unfriendliness and bugs, but FedEx wins.
#YouTube is testing a three strikes and you are out rule against users who use ad blockers. This bug by design or misfeature goes directly against how many users use the Web. I understand that YouTube has to make money from free tier users, but ad blocking is a simple security feature to many. There’s got to be another way, the way YouTubers make money with sponsors is good, now YouTube have to figure out something similar. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/technology/youtube-tests-restricting-ad-blocker-users-to-3-video-views/

-"Don't pirate!"
-"Sure, I will sign up for your stupid subscription, whatever"
-"Oh and by the way, you need to disable all adblocks and privacy features in your web browser so we can track you and make money off of your data"
...
No Crunchyroll, you're not getting my money.

I started it up the next morning and it worked perfectly for a while, then after handling the board it started flaking out. So Inhave hope for the board being repairable, but finding the trace that’s intermittent will be tough, I bet.
