Remember: if you get Wikipedia "pls give us money" begging, give to the Internet Archive instead.

The internet archive is perpetually underfunded, whereas Wikipedia has enough cash on hand to continue operating at twice its capacity for about 3 decades.

Editors strongly opposed the wording of the recent beg banner:

So #Linux gamers, do you even care about whether a game lists "Linux support" in general terms anymore?

Or do you just scroll down on Steam, find the #SteamDeck green check, and that tells you if it works on Proton, and- well there you go that's all you need, whether you're gonna game on the Deck specifically or not

Today I could test the famous #Analogue Pocket retro console, which emulates the #Gameboy and Gameboy Advance with a #FPGA. It is known for its accuracy and the ability of its gorgeous display to render pictures very close to the original consoles.

Let see if its reputation is well deserved. A thread in two posts.

First the Gameboys. In black and white, the fidelity is beyong expectations! Less so against the color display unfortunately.

Quick little tip: You don't need to use link shorteners on Mastodon.

All links on Mastodon count for 23 characters towards your limit, no matter how many characters they really are.

However, you need to include https:// at the beginning of links to make them clickable.

After many years of wearing ~$200 DTC glasses, I thought, "I'm a real adult now! I should support a local business."

So I went to the neighborhood optical shop and the very German optician measured my DTC glasses, and said, very evenly, "These are not good quality."

Okay sure, I thought. So I gamely allowed myself to be upsold to the 2nd-highest quality lenses. I thought they might be twice the price, but–no, when all was said and done, they were nearly 5x more expensive than my old glasses.
