Hi @cwebber @fossandcrafts I recently listened to the Foss & Crafts episode 27 on Game Design and Social Systems. I thought you might enjoy this article by a BU professor about how Mario Kart can teach us to reduce world poverty - from the mechanic where in last place you get powerful items while in first place you just get banana peels, in order to keep everyone in the race.

@kev Question for you, what software do you use for your blog at kevq.uk/blog/ ? Is it wordpress, and do you have thoughts on wordpress vs write.as?

Upcoming Instagram changes warn users to accept activity tracking to "Help keep Instagram free of charge" 🙄 #deleteInstagram

All undergraduates of #Duke University are told to #quarantine due to #covid19 outbreak caused by recruitment parties.

Effective immediately, students must stay in place until at least Sunday March 21. More than 180 positive
#coronavirus cases have been reported. Suspension or dismissal will be the penalty.

Total
#virus cases in North #Carolina is 887,595 with 11,716 deaths

I love the #replyall podcast, but... FUCK the latest 171 episode.

Paraphrasing: "I hate that Twitter can decide who gets banned, I wish people made different social platforms where there is no central power like that".

Yes, I live in a fediverse bubble. But surely, with just a tiny bit of research, they could have found the fediverse, right? At least, Mastodon?

Now they leave it hanging as all other article: "Twitter sucks, but what can we do? No good alternatives"
