I loved the original, had it on SNES. Came with the soundtrack that I still have.
Actually bought the XBox Bundle that included the original and sequel arcade games.
Need to find a way to play the original arcade game again.

Wayland started out as a compositor you put in on top of X. I don't know if they had planned it as a replacement then or not, but I remember taking the time to make KDE spin around in a cube around 2008 or 2009.
Maybe I am remembering wrong.
I need to work on custom themes for @npub1aak…qvat that I have had in mind including an Evangelion Magi based one.

Me neither. But that whole Protocol versus Server thing might be part of the issue. I remember when Wayland was an add on to X11 so.
Honestly, I am trying to learn C so I can try and contribute some at some point.
.... need to replace this HP with something that uses a straigh AMD stack though. Betting some of my problems are all Nviidia related.

Until my preferred Windows Manager stable supports Wayland its a dead end for me. Pretty sure thats the same for a lot of folk.
And of course there are the BSD's to consider. As far as I know Wayland is completely incompatible with them. So they have to have a path forward with either X11 or the Wayland developers need to put in the work.

I hate to say it, but you are right. No one I tried to even think of doing so did it. Same with Threads Federation. Couldn't get them to just flip a switch.
At least with X I could understand. Federation isn't an option, so you are trying to convince them to move completely to a different thing entirely. And with the Gatekeepers around here they might not enjoy it anyways.
But Threads and Bluesky have the option, it just requires a little bit of effort.

... I am not having fun on Social Media much anymore.
Meta platforms are good for the occasional image that is out there, Instagram for the Bikini Models, and little else.
I used to admin forums and such for small niche communities and frankly I want back to that.
#Mastodon was the first try for me into the Fediverse. I have liked running my own instance and controlling it as I desire.
The PixelFed instance I finally finished seems pretty nice as a site to focus on my van project and the photography I plan to engage in as I travel.
I still haven't gotten the NodeBB forums up, but they are next on the list. Even if I don't end up with a lot of people taking part.
Sites are still on my agenda as well.
I just don't care for anything else about the big guys these days. Deleted my old Reddit and recreated an account just to comment on Fediverse and Vanlife mostly.
This is just me Ranting.

I am working on rebuilding one of my communities. Originally it was a small fanfiction thing but as I have another fan related domain I decided to make this one a Dark Fiction site and community.
Thing is that Dark Fiction can get... Dark.
So while I am working on the ideas and which software to use for community, I need to figure out what is allowed for rules and discussion.
Obviously moderation would need to be far more lax than say Mastodon.art or anything from Europe. You can't start banning everyone who talks about dark topics if they follow that topic to its darker logical conclusion.
Obviously Harrassment, KYS statements, Actual Racism, and a few other things should be banned. But discussion of how a racists bigoted character might address something shouldn't be.
I live in the US so 1st Amendment is pretty open ended.
Figured I would put this out to discuss cause it is such a disconnect between what most people would generally expect from an instance due to the subject matter.

#DontBeADick
So, this guy blocked me so it won't go to him. This is for anyone who sees this later.
This guy was basically being a dick. He could have just blocked the account or went about his business. But he choose to try and shame me for sharing something I found on Facebook.
When I find interesting things like this on Facebook I basically copy and paste the information here, with a link for anyone who wants to go see the original post. This is because this isn't my original content and when I share it I believe it's important to link back to the creator.
I mark these with the tags #Facebook, #FacebookFinds, and #FacebookGroup.
Any one of those tags can be muted. Like the guy about could have.
He chose to be hateful though.
So while this is all going out into the Void, and won't be seen by the dick in question, if you do see this then take a moment to ask.
If you don't want to see these things you don't have to. They are tagged in a way so you can block them.
But you also have a choice about being a dick about it.

There is a 35mm film stock called Cyberpunk that shoots really grainy hazy photos in old film cameras. It's about $10 per roll. It comes in other processes but the 800T allows you to shoot indoors and at night pretty well (just make sure you got a nice and low Fstop). Enjoy.

Mastodon is not just Decentralized, but part of a much larger ecosystem. How many of those people who "left" Mastodon actually left Mastodon.social or one of the other big instances? How many decided an instance based on PixelFed or Peertube was a better fit and moved there?

Not to mention a conversion of older vehicles is gonna be cheaper than making everyone buy all these EVs that just keep sitting.

Has anyone thought of adding ActivityPub functionality to something like Libre.fm so we could built a music Fediverse branch?

Think so, I haven't tried anything more than starting it and examining the setup. Got to remove a chair lift.

Been trying to figure that out myself for a while, only instead I would be using an RSS feed tied to a webpage.
Part of the issue is you have to know how to write the bot. Most of them I have seen are built on Python.

So, Dad bought this van for me, putting me on the hook for $3500 back to him. It wasn't quiet what I wanted and didn't want to ourchase. But Dad has always been one to do something anyways.
It's how we ended up learning to Scuba dive in junior high.
So here is the exterior of the 1999 Chevrolet Express 1500 van. I am starting gathering information.

I honestly liked the Wing Commander film and the original Super Mario Brothers with Bob Hoskins, Jon Leguazmo, and Dennis Hopper...
... But I have always been odd.
I will finish anyone who speaks bad of the original Mortal Kombat.

So, since I now have a van to work on I will be focusing on what to do for my Vanlife blogging.
I figure just setting up a wordpress blog on Wanderers-Waypoint.com will be sufficient. I can add ActivityPub support for myself and build a community there with one of the forum plugins. That being said, if I do that then it becomes opt-in for federation. The plugin requires a user to toggle the process on.
So I am open to options as well.

In a lot of ways Discoverability on Fediverse is going to be like it was back in the early days. Just linking and talking about the cool sites and communities you found with friends.
Of course you also kinda need to build the cool stuff yourself half the time.

I only got to see this a couple of times at the Tilt arcade below the food court of North East Mall in Hurst, but this was an extraordinary concept at the time.

So, here's a question for all of you.
I want to start blogging about my move into #vanlife and vehicle camping and feel blogging will help.
I have three domains:
TinyopolisTX
TinyopolisUSA
Wanderers-Waypoint
I want to include federated communities into my setup.
Should I Stick with one domain and use the Subdomains to handle add-ons? Should I try and build a community on one and blog on the other?
Thoughts?

So, while I am disappointed in how today went, I am just gonna keep looking. I really wish I could afford a hightop van, something I could stand in. Though a Short Bus has a personality in itself I would love.
Also need to read more. Not so sure how I would do that.

You sure? I seem to do just fine when I'm at work and such, its just when I'm on my private time, when I can't seem to get myself to do anything at all I get these issues.

what does it mean when I go from one thing to another to another and never seem to make any progress?
