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.

@gpowerf I like it here. Anyone comes at me with anything but kindness and politeness and they're gone.

Karl Jobst dunking on Billy Mitchell will never not be funny.

I liked the #Exoprimal weekend challenge ( #SavageGauntlet ) and I’ve played through it a few times. It’s a small (and tough) event. I hope there’s more and more new content for this game, it’s become my multiplayer game of choice. #gaming #capcom
I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this game doesn’t go away too quickly 😄

I've been doing the same thing. And luckily, I haven't had to do it a lot here.
I never really did this with Twitter.
I've taken this mentality over to Threads too now and my feed there is miles better than it used to be. Muting accounts obviously engagement farming has been so nice.

I *want* to stop Twitter entirely but people are still tweeting at me and tagging me in work tweets. And the other day the White House science people emailed to say that they tweeted my article anout their art/sci climate assessment thing so there I go again, retweeting it. Who are we even tweeting for? Everyone else who is trapped there for work? Certainly the shouty new blue ticks won’t like my article about climate art. (I posted it the other day. Can’t be bothered to find the link)

Thunderbird 115 is now available on Flathub!
It’s really the best Thunderbird has ever been, IMO, and it’s also the best method to install it for a lot of people (it’s an official Flatpak).
One of the things that I’ve done with Mastodon that’s different to how I’ve used other social media is muting and blocking at the first sign of attitude, rudeness, or general negativity in my timeline or notifications.
I’m treating my timeline like a nice garden and pruning weeds as soon as I see them.
I highly recommend it his approach.

Let's all go cray for PicoCray.
Derek Woodroffe made this impressive #RaspberryPi Pico cluster and you can read his version of events in the brand new issue of @HackSpacemag:

I keep hearing that #Mastodon is not likely to replace #Twitter. To that I say: so what?
I've been contributing to the #Linux desktop for the last 15 years not because it's likely to replace #Windows, but because providing people with free desktop is the right thing to do.
I use and support Mastodon not because it's likely to replace Twitter, but because it's a social network done right.

Is using ROMs or ISOs of games no longer sold on systems no longer supported an act of preservation or an act of piracy?

We've all seen the old Wild West signs reading "Leave your gun at the bar", I'm starting to think that gyms should become phone-free zones "Leave your phone at reception". There are too many people filming or looking at social media on machines now. Gyms have become truly obnoxious places.

I quit #Twitter a month ago and want to transition away from #Spotify & own music again instead. Yet some of my favourite tracks seem difficult if not impossible to find elsewhere. Is there I trick I am missing? Any tips welcome. Prime example #BurningSunshine by #Francys EP.
