Reminder to remove batteries from vintage computers. This was (hopefully will be again) a Laser 128 EX/2. Trust me, your tools will thank you.

I cannot make anybody stop playing games they have a lot of time and money sunk into.

But if I, of All people, with 500+ skins, who used to play this Daily, can uninstall Fortnite and the Epic Games store, you can do it too.

FUCK AI IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF EVERYTHING 🫠

hope you all like ❤️

US House Subcommittee Advances 18 Child Online Safety Bills | TechPolicy.Press Some members expressed "fury" at the tech industry for not doing more to protect children and teens.

Hey romancelandia and fandom peeps! If you live in the U.S. right now you should know that KOSA (along with a slew of censorship bills) are advancing through congress right now. If you care about spicy books and/or fanfiction you should contact your reps right now and tell them to vote NO on KOSA!

WTF? This is absolute insanity!

If this actually goes ahead, I'm installing a custom ROM on my phone. No way am I having anyone tell me how I can use my own devices. And they want this to extend to desktops as well.

Child safety my arse. This is all about surveillance and control.

having a time limit to make a controller for a dead platform not e-waste has to be the most google move possible

Half-Life (1998)

I really want to emphasize that this is a winnable fight, but everyone has to chip in in order to do so! Please dont sit it out expecting others to stand in your place!

And dont ignore local/state level stuff! As these state laws get overturned, the narrative behind the Fed ones lose steam!

Yoooo this looks awesome!

Go grab some of this stuff :)
It's absolutely amazing! The digi badges have been SO handy, not just for furry stuff either - they make a great photo gallery and as a cool conversation starter!

Hot take:

You'll never get anywhere in life if you keep clinging to the past

The world taught me to hate myself so I chose to rebel. Loving yourself is an act of defence in the world we find ourselves in.

Being kind is punk is a phrase that includes self care. Be kind to yourself. Learn to love yourself as you would others in your communities.

100% agree, doesn't surprise me though given Micron is one of three companies that produce the majority of RAM, and OpenAI *alone* has ordered 40% of all DRAM production globally! The sooner this bubble bursts the better...

an edited Half-Life screenshot that reads "idk who needs to hear this, but it's time to put the turkey into the anti-mass spectrometer"

To anyone who gets a sudden feeling of dread when they hear a teams notification sound:

Congratulations! You have been clicker trained!

This is a BEAUTIFUL kicker. Basically "You argued you have to sacrifice a small population to protect the rights of a bigger population. You, the only transphobe on staff compared to ten trans women, are the small population. Wish granted, case dismissed"

Micron Announces Exit from Crucial Consumer Business investors.micron.com/news-release...

This is absolutely fucked.

Instead of selling my old phone, im turning it into an mp3 player coz it still has a headphone jack and more memory than my old ipod.

We're going to do it all over again! Very excited to announce RetroFest 2026 to be held at Swindon's STEAM museum on the 30th/31st May. If you'd like to exhibit, just full in the form - and if you'd like to come, why not buy a ticket! They also make wonderful Christmas presents :) - retrofest.uk

A picture of a Steam Machine with a NeXT logo, green power button, drive bays, and that NeXT kind of stripey part decoration part testarossa intake strakes that aren't. It's a mash of disparate things but damn it's fine.

Oh if you insist.
