@gpowerf yep, the pirates might be our saviours

As Microsoft turns off its 360 stores remember that no matter what platform you’re on, you don’t own digital products - you’re just renting them. If you can’t download an installer then you’re beholden to the service. And even if you do have some kind of physical install media, how many games have released recently that have required day one patches to be playable? They’ll disappear too

To those who are not that familiar with oAuth, it's an authentication standard that defines the process of logging into a 3rd party client or app (like a Mastodon app).

So basically, most platforms like Facebook and Twitter require developers to sign up, wait for approval and rate limit their access

The magic of Mastodon is they use blind registration so you don't need approval and are subject to the same limits as all other clients, so you can allow users to login instantly. ✨

I'm now the proud owner of a Commodore Amiga A500! It's absolutely filthy and feels disgusting to the touch, but a good project to have.

I haven't tried to power it on yet, but as far as I can tell everything is there, what it needs more than anything is a really good clean.

There is a little damage in spots on the casing, especially the top left, but it's part of its story. If anything, it makes me want to restore it even more the poor thing.

@nixCraft But was ChatGPT a condescending dick about it? Either way, I can see why the StackOverflow community is against it - who would use SO if ChatGPT was just as wrong and not nearly as rude? #RiseOfTheArrogantRoboticAsswadFromRedwoodCity
