I bought this burgundy Nintendo DSi XL about 15 years ago. Still one of my favourite devices. The colour, the feel of the controls, the screens, the shape - everything about it makes it a joy to play!

I like this picture of the handheld console collection. I need to update it as the collection has grown since this was taken.

A friend just asked me if I bought a Steam Machine. I replied, "I can't think of a single rational reason why buying one would make sense". For some reason he took that as a no!

As people never know, I've checked and can confirm this is a real Truth Social post. (Screenshot directly from the website.)

@evercade.co.uk and @mossmouth.bsky.social - how about a UFO50 cartridge for Evercade? Who's with me?!

I have two hours left to make the decision! I know I will regret it if it expires and I don't purchase. And I know purchasing it is silly given the various boxes I already have.

Steam Machine checkout with only two hours remaining.

No, because it is real. I just checked myself.

You could have very easily fact checked this yourself. The post is real. Here is a screenshot of it I just took.

It is there now. This is very easy to verify. I’ve literally just gone on to his posts and taken a screenshot.

Indeed they have and it’s fantastic! Looks so crisp running at 60fps. Great work @evercade.co.uk !

@evercade.co.uk I’m absolutely loving the Super Pocket Rare Edition! I showed a colleague and he was sold at “60fps Banjo” - he’s getting one tomorrow! Questions: who actually developed the port and Conkers Bad Fur Day when?!

@bsky.app PDS migration complete! No more AWS. This post coming live from my @raspberrypi.com 3 Model B.

This weekend's project: migrating my @bsky.app PDS from AWS to a @raspberrypi.com. Another small step in my imperfect, but ongoing, attempt to send less and less of my money to US oligarchs.

This is real. I have just verified it on Truth Social (as much as it pains me to go on that site). Included are the shitty adverts that Trump's own posts are served up between like a shit sandwich.

People say @zackpolanski.bsky.social is too extreme on taxing wealth. According to YouGov, 75% of people in the UK support a wealth tax of 2% on assets over 10m. This is not a radical position. It's wildly popular. yougov.com/en-gb/daily-...

The excellent Fiio Snowsky Echo Mini can also be used as a USB DAC. Turns out the @steampowered.com Steam Deck supports it out of the box (thanks to Linux under the hood). So now I can use my IEMs with the 4.4mm jacks.

Anyone know why I can’t post videos? Only the camera icon is present. @bsky.app any ideas?

Compare this to the pathetic @dailymail.co.uk in the UK who have clearly looked at all the facts and concluded that Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is trying to "pin blame on ICE" and labelled his words as an "extraordinary outburst".

Hey @tobyfox.undertale.com , one of my kids has been learning how to use @blender.org and set themselves the challenge of recreating Berdly in 3D! We hope you like it.

I've begun my journey in removing as much USA tech from my life as possible (prioritising those things where I'm sending them money.) Long way to go but the journey has begun.

I'm sorry but how the fuck is it actually legal for YouTube to contain ads like this which declare in tiny print "Uses AI avatars and voiceovers"? What is wrong with society that we just shrug our shoulders and say this is fine?

As an experiment, I created a brand new TikTok account and put my date of birth as 1st January 2011, making me 14. The 4th video I was shown was Iryna Zarutska being stabbed. As an adult I found this shocking and disturbing. Why the hell are we allowing TikTok to show things like this to children?

Imagine a mysterious person, Al, turns up in your child's messaging app without consent. You don't know anything about them. You don't know them or their parents. You don't know any of their morals, or how they might influence your child. You can't remove them from the app. #MetaAI

Meta AI appears in the WhatsApp Chat section. It is stating "Currently there's no option to remove me from WhatsApp".

Here's the problem with the whole "I will say incorrect things, but people are free to correct me—that's the beauty of freespeech" shtick that they're running with: Misinformation travels faster than the truth. A lie gets 22 million views whilst the correction struggles to get 5 single views.

Thankfully not on Bluesky though, as it has no trackers! Please keep it that way.
