  My son wanted to play old games. We connected our old Wii. Optical drive’s broken, and it didn’t keep its configuration, so no luck there. Then we tried the Wii U, with low expectations. It works beautifully, everything is there, can play Wii games too, and Wii U games look fantastic for their age (currently playing Paper Mario Color Splash). The GamePad was an awful idea, though. Will try to get a Wii U Pro controller if I can get one cheap. Surprised by it. 😎👍 #retrogaming #wiiu #nintendo

  Ok, native English speakers, clear this out for me: how do you pronounce “Forgejo”? Is it like “Forsh-joe”? Is it “Forge(like “forget”)-joe”? Is it “For-je-hoe”? Honestly, for non-native speakers it’s sometimes a guessing game, and since you probably never heard it from a native speaker there’s a high chance you completely mispronounce the word. 😅 #forgejo #englishpronunciations

  Hahaha! After talking about #pinball with @apzpins@some.apz.fi I went to YouTube and this popped into my timeline: https://youtu.be/Iaz2JaqVrVg?is=9FEAKCyISCQDMEHr In case somebody doesn’t know by now, pinball is a huge waste of money: they’re expensive and require a lot of maintenance. Clearly, people with pinball arcades must be really passionate about it. Or crazy. Or both. 😅

  @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu You have the means, and the correct platform (Mastodon). Now tell MEPs to leave X, where the discourse is controlled by an American oligarch, and address EU citizens exclusively on Mastodon, where they can’t be silenced or censored, and the EU has complete control. #leavex #EUMastodon

  @chatcontrol@mastodon.social It’s amazing how nobody would even dare opening a physical letter and read its contents, as it’s a right anybody can understand, but they are so quick to deny that right in the digital realm. So, can anybody open a letter now, Mr Minister? 🤔

  @whitequark@social.treehouse.systems I wonder if all this stupidity will end up raising the prices of the laptop renting contracts most IT companies have with OEMs… interesting times awaits us, if it does. 😝

  @hanno @TimPhSchaefers It’s very surprising to see that NIC .de doesn’t have a reserved second level domain for government sites (like the “.gov” or “.gob” you normally see, “.reg.de” maybe?). The German government buying private domains like a regular Joe is a really weak move. 😝

  It’s all fine and dandy until one of your cats decides to start vomiting at 4 in the morning. 🙀🥱

  I don’t give YouTube much information to use to target their ads (I don’t allow ad cookies or personalized ads), so it normally offers me generic ads, based on location. Motherfuckers are showing me ads for fur coats… 😭 #animalcruelty

  It never ceases to amaze me the extremes the internet can reach. On one side, you can see bigotry and hate, from very miserable people. On the other, you find the most wonderful people, doing extremely interesting and amazing projects. I’d love for it to be mostly of the latter. #internet #nicepeople

  And speaking of the Viet Cong (May the 4th!), I saw a video on a YouTube British channel talking about the Vietnamese North-South express railway high speed rail, and it had an overwhelming “How dare these farmers build this, when we can’t!” vibe to it. And it made me realize that the two biggest Capitalist countries (USA and the UK) are unable to build HSR, while two Communist countries (China and Vietnam) seem to have no problems. 🤷‍♂️ #highspeedrail #imperialistmentality #capitalism

  On this #maythe4th let me remember you that the USA is the Empire, and the rebels are the Viet Cong: https://screenrant.com/star-wars-george-lucas-vietnam-war-inspiration-explainer/ Now, get rid of Count Doofus (Darth Pedo), please 🙏 #starwars #imperialism #arewethebaddies
