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.

Here's another tutorial I made, about 1-bit animation, I still wanna make a game in this style.

Reading the exchange between #Musk and #EricFrohnhoefer it shows the modern man-child syndrome is more prevalent than one would expect.
Anyone half sensible would have said "Eric, I recognize you are the domain expert here, can we plan a way to improve things? I'd like you to lead those changes."
Instead the man-child said “He’s fired”
Thus confirming there are no limits to Musk’s monumental foolishness at #Twitter.

@rvawonk We need to start thinking about digital preservation infrastructure as a first-order part of civil society resilience measures. I like the work of groups like Mnemonic, as an example.

I use the #Twitter Android app and the performance is not particularly bad or notable in that way.
Still, we all owe #EricFrohnhoefer a debt of gratitude.
He knows his tech and is prepared to defend it in the face of #Musk's swagger and ignorance.
Good luck @EricFrohnhoefer

@aallan he's a friend of mine, and a fine engineer. 😢

Whew. Almost done. I copied/saved 136 of my old #Amiga disks so far.
Only a few had read errors. Most of them I could fix by just reading the same track over and over again until there was no error. So far I had only 5 disks with really unrecoverable errors. I am impressed.
I'll request another archive with the remainder that's still on Twitter. Perhaps the archiving software is buggy and it will take a few tries for it to get the lot.
Nothing quite like a good clean. I've just deleted 42322 tweets. The archive Twitter created was not complete though.

Why Gnome GNU Desktop are you trying to be Windows 11😩
My Distro just updated to Gnome 43.1 and now you cannot Drop & Drag from Archive Manager to File Manager, or even Copy & Paste, been a problem with Wayland for 4+ Years but now thanks to GTK4 it effects X11 (x-server), Now i have to mess around just to unpack files/folders, which means 4x times the work😖

@profbriancox welcome to 🦣 ! Thought you’d like - if you run this toot of code on a BBC Micro in 3 hours you get an impression of the Southern Ring Nebula as seen by JWST… it would probably take 6 hrs on an Acorn Electron though 🤓https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@p_malin/109337802759513674

I did a little thread on Twitter about traffic. Elon claimed Twitter was a big source of traffic, the reality is that it's tiny.
About 4% clicked it, and only a small percent of our actual followers ever even saw the Tweet.

RT @CaseyNewton
Update: company sources tell me that yesterday Twitter eliminated ~4,400 of its ~5,500 contract employees, with cuts expected to have significant impact to content moderation and the core infrastructure services that keep the site up and running.
People inside are stunned.

For Sale in the UK
A slightly uncommon pong-style console from Takara. It has a bit of a unique design and is tough to get in the UK due to the included gun - which is also the reason why I can only sell it to people in the UK. It's untested, but I have no reason to believe it won't work £100+p&p #ForSale

Such an iconic #Usborne80s type-in book. Enhanced for the #Commodorer64.

On one of my infrequent trips back to the other platform I saw two posts that were disappointing. One was slightly more disappointing than the other, someone tried to join Mastodon, got a server not accepting new joins message, stopped trying and went back to make fun of it. The other is more understandably bad, the server they joined up with has been down for 3 days. We really need to do something to address stuff like this. It’s not easy, but it’s a major roadblock to adoption
