Hey there! I’m a #portland based dad, runner, guitar-learner, dog-haver, and computer engineer (ex Intel, currently at another big place and focused on #emulation on #fpga and #verilog for software dev and validation - but probably not the fun kind of emulation you’re thinking of).

Formerly @montag2k at another site.

#metafilter user - always looking for friends from there too.

Threads Update

Update on the current state of Hachyderm's federation with Threads.

I have a spreadsheet full of #Steam #game keys (all legit!) and I'm giving away.

I'm *not* doing this to get new followers. You DON'T need to follow me to get a key. This is about generosity when the world could really use some.

The only thing I ask is you follow the Wheaton rule: "Don't be a dick".

19/12/24: In what turned out to be a poorly timed decision, I bought a bundle of games and added them to the list today. Happy holidays.

To avoid keyfarmers and resellers, I have some guidelines, though.

1. No new accounts. Sorry. You've got to have been here on Mastodon & obviously human; ie. no keyfarmers (If I don't know you, I'm checking profiles).

2. One game per person; please pick your top three preferred games, in case your first preference is already gone. First in, first served, I go through PMs in the order that they're received - see below.

3. *Private Mention* me with the game number *AND* name, in order of preference. (Web: Profile > Three Dots > Privately Mention...), your app may vary.

I cannot reiterate this enough. You *must* -->PM<-- your request (consider this the "Brown M&Ms" clause).

4. "When can I ask for another key?" Minimum of 2 months between requests.

Key sources:

Colour coded legend on the spreadsheet. My thanks to the following generous folks who've donated extra keys:

@McCovican
@tojosan
@hypolite
@desiree
@artbol
@elfi
@beric
@Krikket
@WearsHats
@triadne
@dona

@apicici
@n3wjack

Game listed multiple times = multiple keys.

FAQ:
Q: "Can I donate keys?"
A: No (see above).

If you don't mind boosting this post; this is my small way of trying to make the world & Mastodon a nicer place to be.

I will try to explode you with my brain if you wave me on when you have the right of way.
Well played, Slack 🌴

Via @andybaio - a post by @glennf about Yahoo! Pipes, which was a magnificent beast and so, so, so far ahead of its time.

Pipe Dreams: The life and times of Yahoo Pipes

In 2007, a small team at Yahoo! briefly changed how we program the internet. This is their story.

So regarding Threads integration: is anybody able to actually follow @0xjessel? I can see him in the user search but follow requests go to pending. It’s not clear if that’s because my instance has pre-defederated, if he’s got requests turned on, or maybe if the ActivityPub implementation isn’t quite working yet.

Still, it’s interesting that you can see them!

That thought came to mind when I was helping with public viewing of Halley in 1986 at the Royal Observatory Edinburgh.

One old man came to see it & was somewhat disappointed by how faint it was.

He said “I remember it being so much brighter when I last saw it in 1910” (which it was).

Imagine I see it again in 2061 & show it to a young kid, who may then see it again in 2134.

Halley & I will then have connected people over 224 years, a vast reach of time in the modern world.

Mind-blowing.
