Nerd. I like video games of nearly any vintage. Same with computers.

Ah, #IconFactory. I'm so glad they're still around after all these decades. I remember downloading that Ghost in the Shell icon set from a MacAddict CD back in the 90's.

A high percentage of @neilhimself's posts on the other place are quote posts. Can any legitimate criticisms of those be made? One reason he may not post as often on Mastodon as I'd like is because this method isn't allowed here. Here's one example of him using it to expose racism against himself on the other place. Had he been unable to quote post he couldn't provide evidence, so I couldn't complain to Elon Musk. Musk has had days to punish this antisemite but has yet to do anything. #QuotePosts
Reality denial is amazing

I’ve been posting a lot of #retrocomputing and #bbs stuff, probably nostalgia brought on by mastodon and winter. But my family and I are also busy making #tamales - this is a Chile poblano (Anaheim pepper) roasted and ready to turn into rajas for the cheese #tamales

A few mods to the GBS8200. First removing and then bridging the variable resistors because the GBS Control can handle colour correction so we want the unregulated signal to go through, then we’re adding an SI5351 board for variable video clock. Annoyingly, the ESP module isn’t responding to wifi so I can’t see if the clock board is working. The GBSControl software is definitely running and working though #retrocomputing
Good morning Mastodon! I just gently put my #birdsite account to sleep, deleting all posts and likes I could. I also unfollowed everybody I was following. I didn't find a way to remove followers in bulk without blocking them (any ideas?). I'm still going to try to delete more over the next couple of days but the scripts available seem to be struggling a bit. I'm not going to delete the account completely (yet) to prevent misuse of my username. Feels good. :)

Six reasons Mastodon won't survive

The hot new thing in social media has some big problems.

@thenullray @mac84tv I'll start lighting the incense.

A little while back @mac84tv and I made a video designed to assist retro-computing enthusiasts looking to get started on collecting classic #Apple #Macintosh computers.

The video covers all mainstream machines from the original Mac 128K all the way to the dawn of the iMac. It gives viewers advice on what to look out for, which models give the best bang for the buck, and what modern options exist to help with ease of use.

Check it out, AND PLEASE BOOST?

I often am asked by people fleeing anti-trans states, "where should I move to?"

I created the anti-trans legislative risk map to help answer that question.

I am releasing my first post-election legislative risk map today. Subscribe to support my work.

The Post-Election Anti-Trans Legislative Risk Map

These are the states to watch in the 2022-2023 legislative cycle for anti-trans laws.
