Hello there!
I boost a lot of posts, but I have a few things to say every now and then.
I am largely fine with boosting posts from people I disagree with even on significant, dividing issues. I usually don't, however, if they actively advocate for these ideas... so it goes :/

Been thinking a lot about media recently, and I think a lot of writers and creators really need to understand the importance of pacing and a strong first impression.
The intro of Mario & Luigi: Brothership was dull, and turned people away. The first few episodes of the RTD 2 version of Doctor Who were bad and turned people away.
In both cases, the creators stuck the boring and audience alienating stuff at the start, and lost a sizeable percentage of said audience.

I found this #throwback from a few years ago. I'm thankful to whoever made it.
At least I have cool music to listen to that my brother made.
Stir crazy
The #Mastodon app on my phone is one of the only social media apps I have that is an actual benefit to my life. It's less addicting and more giving.

Silly #poll time:
How do you pronounce "been," as in "How have you been?"

This is a proposal to expand the tried tl;dr standard for further usecases.
The authors propose
pw;dr - paywall; didn't read
ai;dr - ai, didn't read
This is a draft.

@0x10f I hate that the word stands for porn.

No more blue screens... it's now the Black Screen of Death 🥲

At this point just using *any* Microsoft product, let alone Windows, is inherently a security risk.

Complaining (sorry)
Arguing online is annoying, it seems like my points never get across

Windows 10 dies Oct 14, 2025. Microsoft wants you to buy new hardware. But if your PC’s from after 2010, it’s not obsolete — just held back. If you install Linux there are no license fees, no forced upgrades, no ads and spyware. You can find help at the https://endof10.org/

Current thoughts on #DonkeyKongBananza… it’s grown on me a lot. The controls and mechanics are excellent, the worlds are all fun and well designed, and the atmosphere is top notch throughout.
If you liked Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Kong 64, Banjo-Kazooie or Super Mario Odyssey, you’ll love this game.
