This is a "gaming account". I separate my "real life" and my "gaming life" even though they mix sometimes...ie. when the topic is #Neurodiversity or "#NextGenNeurodiversity".

I'm in shields up mode, still. It's nice here! I like it! Turns out the fediverse is constantly under attack by trolls and Reply Guys.

I don't like DumbTube but the video is not CC so I can't do anything about it!

Most Popular Gaming Consoles: Data from 1985 to 2025

Luckily for me this project is open source and it supports ActivityPub so you can play chess right now on the fediverse!

Pretty cool huh?

https://github.com/stephank/castling.club

If you want a feature you can submit an issue at github.com/stephank/castling.club/issues

The first issue opened was in 2019 and the last one was in 2024.

Now if you're a lichess fan, why not play a game on the fediverse, then import it into a study?

I'll do that 🙂

People don't like people who complain because those who complain bring misery to their friends etc. whom they share the complaints with...

That's why I'm not gonna complain right now...

Instead I'm just gonna say what my complaint was gonna be about.

It was gonna be about that some program didn't have some feature...even though I'm not even sure the program is open source...so modifying it if it wasn't would be highly impractical and also illegal.

@king I challenge @schuppenvogel!

alternativeto@mas.to are the ones behind the site Alternative To .net where you can find alternatives to apps.

I love that on Duck Duck Go I only need to type this

!a2

and it takes me to the site. Saves a lot of time!

@shoppingtonz that could be fun! I truly am a terrible player but I'm down for a fedi tournament. Anyone else #chess

Hadn't noticed 0 A.D. (@play0ad) got an update a couple of months ago. It's the last one labelled as "Alpha".

https://play0ad.com/new-release-0-a-d-alpha-27-agni/

They also completed their move from Subversion to Git last year, development is happening on their own @gitea instance: https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/

0 A.D.: Empires Ascendant

0 A.D. is a free, open-source, historical Real Time Strategy (RTS) game currently under development by Wildfire Games, a global group of volunteer game developers.

Does Mastodon work on the Tor .onion network?

ie. is there a Mastodon server which only exists as an .onion but that isn't using the regular domain system? (and that is connected to ie. mastodon.social or anything else that mastodon.social is connected to)

@dlr I see you have 2 featured hashtags:

(#)privacy and (#)design

but you have posted 0 posts so far with any of those hashtags.

Maybe you were just testing out how Mastodon works?

Read my ALT and see the text I wrote on an etherpad at https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/notes/timeslider#2871 minus the large space left between my text and the other stuff randoms wrote on the etherpad.

I mean, I could edit...yeah...

Edit:

You can get the link from the ALT text.
