I wonder if many of the new members of the Fediverse, for whom this might be their first conscious experience of #FOSS, will a) compare the polish on various Fediverse apps unfavourably to those they used to use for Twitter, & then b) think of that old story about the pigs marvelling at how well the farmer fed and looked after them... Noting that, c) Twitter probably had 1000-10000 times more $ invested in it than the Fediverse, by folks expecting massive returns.

Anyway, as you hear about fuckups on moderation and poor decisions by a handful of volunteer mods on servers that have grown by hundreds of thousands of users in a week, keep that in mind.

Released in Europe in 1999, the Dreamcast was for SEGA their last foray into building their own console platform. It was certainly a valiant attempt and one that still has a place in many retro enthusiast’s heart.

Classic games included Virtua Tennis, Shenmue and Sonic Adventure.

Another nice feature is VGA support, resulting in a fairly large selection of games supporting 480p – a progressive scan format.

I also love the memory storage for saved games, the VMU.

15mm is most definitely my favourite scale to paint just for me. Fun little Master Chief 3d print for my OPR UNSC army.

I rarely play games on my phone. Anyone got any good tips? I've got an Android.

I've previously enjoyed games like Solitairica, Phrased Out, Gloomgrave and The Room (although the controls were awkward).

The neat Folder Color tool now supports #Ubuntu 22.10 and GNOME 43 - https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2022/11/folder-color-ubuntu-22-10-gnome-43-support

@gpowerf First thing that came to my mind. I also got some hardware for cheap, like two CD-i's and a Hori Gamecube Pad.
