  Neat to see more tools like this out there.

  Great for any retromachines that can’t / won’t run the modern web (and things like Lynx and EWW) and accessibility purposes.

  I’ll have to take a look at how it’s parsing the pages. Brow.sh is usually my goto for these use cases, but that’s using a whole Firefox to do the rendering.

  Hopefully things like PineTime, Bangle.js, and the return of Pebble can shake up the market. There’s always neat DIY hacks like the SensorWatch too that can still make the space fun even if the major players get enshittified.

  You really should encourage your contacts to use more secure channels than Twitter dms, especially for illicit behavior.

  If you are a major contributor in a niche community, you can publicize your move with info of how to keep following you and syndicate links to your content on your desired platform for a set time then leave. On your desired platform let followers from Xitter know how to follow you (email, rss, bridgy, etc) if they don’t want to join your desired platform.

  If you are mostly a content consumer or have FOMO, use a bridge not an account. DM all the friends you want to keep of where to find you then leave. Bird.makeup is a great Xitter bridge for the fedi.

  In either case, there isn’t a reason to keep am account there.

  Anyone make/find a non-google export yet?

  Game engines and servers are great candidates for developers to collaborate their ideas into FOSS projects, but the model is harder to sustain for completed works.

  While internet games can have subscription models where you pay them for doing game master type activities, moderation, and access to a hosted game server, static games are more like art where you run into issues getting food and housing when you make your work output available for free. Crowdfunding / patreoning creators (in the larger sense of the word, not necessarily the app) can be a way for that to work, and we need to support more creators trying that model if we want to see more of it.

  We really need to push for more right to repair laws and things not produced by the copyright holder (say for 5 years) should lose all copyright protections.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How would they know it’s emulated and not video captured from a real device? Are they only targeting when emulators are mentioned / shown in the window?

  More reasons to switch to owning your content and hosting on your own platform or a PeerTube instance instead of only hosting on YouTube / Twitch - you can actually fight the takedown notice in court instead of having to accept that YouTube doesn’t. This seems like a winnable fair use case if you can prove you own the game legally and are using your own rom dump.

  Well that’s a bummer but not surprising.

  I wonder what a federated education marketplace could look like.

  Some sort of (possibly locked) video hosting, maybe even Peertube, course discovery more like bookwyrm with lemmy style discussion forums? It’d be cool to have testing/assignment material like Blackboard built in too.

  FB Marketplace killed Craigslist at least in my area (US). Nextdoor somewhat is a counter but that has its own problems.

  I prefer scaled to active sort for that reason.

  It’d be great if popular show casts like BBT would do more PSAs.
