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.

Do you guys think in the future much programming will be writing specs and pseudo code and having AI translate it into a programming language? A new layer above high level programming languages?
Random thought…

I've been playing on #codewars lately and it's fun
But most of the "top" solutions seem to be too clever to be readable
I prefer dumb code that everyone can read
It is no secret I'm a big #Chromebook fan and that I think #ChromeOS with #Crostini is a really great combo.
Anyway, with all of that out of the way, here are some #Chromebooks https://www.techradar.com/news/best-chromebook :) #linux #android #google

That means Linux gaming is actually lagging behind in respect to Linux desktop in general? Impressive

@gpowerf Not as fancy, but my Steam Deck is coming with me on my Netherlands trip tomorrow 🥰
14th time lucky I guess 🤷♂️ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-66384289
In two and a half days I'll be in the Philippines. I still need to decide if I will be gaming with a #SteamDeck or a #MiyooMini
Anyway, I'll be taking a couple of books too :D #gaming #travel
A big benefit of Mastodon is that it is less single-country-centric than most social media I've experienced.
Nothing against the United States in any way, but as someone who doesn't live there it's nice to be exposed to people and issues from all over the world in a more balanced way than what normally happens on sites like Twitter where it's mostly USA, USA, USA.

Regular reminder: if your site or app doesn’t work in Firefox, it’s broken.
I lived through the “this site requires and/or is best in IE” era, and I’d rather burn it all down than return to that.
Pro-tip: Firefox does most things better anyway. Give it a spin and enjoy a less-tracked web.
I've swapped playing chess puzzles for doing code katas over the last few days. I've not coded for work for years, but I've been learning a bit of Python and I've just made it to 5 kyū yellow belt on Code Wars.

So the bird app on my phone finally updated itself to something awful. Not sure what pushed me over the edge - was it the horrible "X" branding? Or maybe that it unilaterally decided that I wanted dark mode? Either way, it doesn't matter. Uninstalled it. This is a far nicer place to be.
