xterm is great, but I should probably use a Tektronix 4010-series emulator that supports antialiasing...

...or actual hardware

Be aware: mastodon.lol is shutting down.

If you're on that instance, migrate your account RIGHT NOW!

A reminder that running a website that allows others to speak is incredibly difficult and tends to involve being on the receiving end of all sorts of unfortunate abuse.

This obviously sucks for @nathan , but it is a useful lesson for others as well.

I am still pleasently surprised that this... just works!
I plug my steamdeck into the same cable I use for my work laptop, and my gaming laptop, and boom, instant multi display work/gaming station!

What a brave new world we live in

This is objectively very funny.

Twitter is falling apart. I currently can’t follow anyone or post anything. In the midst of this, Musk had a meeting to find out why his engagement is plummeting.

An engineer looked into the code, found no issues, and speculated it’s because he’s less popular.

Musk fired him on the spot. 👶🏼

whoever named them missiles wasn't very optimistic

Absurd #RetroComputing #emulation possibility: the Game Boy Advance is totally powerful enough to emulate a CP/M compatible system and run WordStar in a performant but utterly unusable way.

All of these hot takes about how Mastodon is too hard to use for mass adoption are missing the point entirely. We are not some tech startup trying to "disrupt" the social media ecosystem. We don't have VCs breathing down our necks pushing for continuous growth at all costs. We're just regular people out here building communities.

If people don't like Mastodon and decide to go back to Twitter, that's fine. They are not commodities to be exploited. If people like Mastodon and decide to stay, that's great! They are going to be more invested in the community because they are actually deriving real value from it.

If there's one thing the global capitalist system cannot fathom is that value can exist that is not fungible with monetary value. There are plenty of ways to create value for people that do not involve buying and selling. In fact the whole notion that value = monetary value is a relatively recent innovation in human history.

I'm not saying that capitalism doesn't have its benefits, but our minds have become so warped by its zero-sum game vision of the world that it's easy to believe that generating profits is the only thing that matters. We may have to play that game to justify our existence on this planet, but there's a whole world of value to be found outside of it. Just because we're forced to play the game doesn't mean the game is all there is.

@gpowerf I'm playing with the settings from this Reddit thread and it's working great: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/10vkrg3/comment/j7op5lo/

@gpowerf There are a few stutters in places but it definitely looks playable on the SteamDeck. Thanks for posting that.
