I gotta hand it to Evercade. Not just for reigniting my love of retro gaming, but of games in general. When I got the OG handheld in 2022 I had mostly fallen off video games as a hobby, maybe played a couple per year on Switch. But now I'm back into games both as a hobby and a community.

Oh, good. It wasn't up there when I checked a couple times this morning.
I keep seeing this shared around, but I haven't been able to find any independent verification or confirmation from MRFF. We all know these people are Christian Nationalists and have stepped up to this line several times, but this sets off misinformation warning bells for me until I see confirmation
I think we're closer than we've ever been to the open social web bootstrapping all of its own community spaces. But we aren't there yet, and I think that's a neat milestone worth building towards.
Talking to other groups and communities with different needs than us is definitely important, don't get me wrong. But we should also be honest with ourselves about where our own use-cases go unserved or underserved rather than pretending we're done there.
Reflecting on yesterday's #fediforum, which I'll blog about this weekend. A common claim was "we've built everything _we_ need, now we need to talk to others and build for them." If that's true, why was the event hosted on a closed platform? And used two different closed platforms for note-taking?
There are ways to tackle these harms that don't cede more power and data to big platforms or make life harder for smaller platforms like bluesky. Ways that can respect the privacy and rights to free expression of people of all ages. Please reconsider your support of this law and others like it.
Hey there, constituent here that strongly believes corporate social media platforms do tremendous harm to society. Age verification laws like SB 976 improperly violate the 1A rights of minors, adults, and service providers as well as encouraging platforms to gather more data on people.
Ian got me into Evercade as well a couple years ago. And now I have all the carts and spend all day on their Discord. Be careful, it's dangerous haha
Huge thanks to @fediforum.org and @masnick.com for organizing and facilitating today's un-workshop on Growing the Open Social Web. And everyone I met there that I'm gonna spend some time trying to track down and follow. It was a ton of fun, but now I have too much interesting stuff to think about!
...and hope the DX is a little better by then. Heck maybe it already is, it's been a couple years since I looked into it.
The short answer is: I'm not betting on one over the other. I'm building on AT right now because of the DX and because AT fits my specific use-case better. When I want to build something that fits AP better, I'll use that instead...
I think Browt is the cutest, but I'd feel like I'm cheating on Rowlet. So I'm gonna have to go for Pombon when the time comes.
Though I'm a white dude who is almost 40, so I both have a predisposition to Beastie Boys and mostly listen to music I know from high school, so that's probably part of it. Fr tho, I remember in high school going to the midnight release with my dad at Newbury Comics.
