Another year is coming to a close and so the team behind Wine, the Windows compatibility layer, are readying up for another major stable release with version 8.0.
Our newest game bundle features turn-based and real-time tactics and strategy games including Gears Tactics and Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus. Pay what you want & support charity!
Love turn-based games? Well, now is your chance to stock up on a few and wishlist what might look to be some great upcoming games for you in the #TurnBasedFest on Steam.
Flock of Dogs from dev Max Clark is a thoroughly odd and unique top-down, action and adventure game about dogs flying around that live on a whale. It released in Early Access on Steam recently, with a little mini-park you can mess about in for free.
So it seems if I want things to federate properly to Mastodon, I need to not have separate title and content, how about if I just put in content with no title, does that work?
Foro soberanía tecnológica, comunidades tecnológicas de México con Redes AC, Tierra Común Cooperative, Stefanía Acevedo, Sursiendo. Presenta Ulises Mejías.
Other me here checking out a Friendica instance. I kinda like it, I like that it is PHP based, I like that it is less branded, I like that I can write longer posts, and I like that it supports multiple protocols in addition to ActivityPub.

Jenny Odell, author of How to Do Nothing, is coming out with a new book called Saving Time. "Our daily experience, dominated by the corporate clock, is destroying us. It wasn't built for people, it was built for profit." bookshop.org/a/2966/9780593242…
Of course, Kottke is an internet institution. If by some chance you're not familiar or didn't see the transition to this new platform, you should be following here on Mastodon.

BallisticNG is honestly one of the best fast-paced anti-gravity racers around that's inspired by Wipeout, and they just had the 1.3 release out with plenty of new content.
The Mother of All Demos is a name given retrospectively to Douglas Engelbart's December 9, 1968, demonstration of experimental computer technologies that are now commonplace.
The live demonstration featured the introduction of the computer mouse, video conferencing, teleconferencing, hypertext, word processing, hypermedia, object addressing and dynamic file linking, bootstrapping, and a collaborative real-time editor.
I'm a bit late to post about it this year, but it's the anniversary of the #MotherOfAllDemos today!
This demonstration is _still_ mindblowing to me.

The 90-minute presentation demonstrated for the first time many of the fundamental elements of modern personal computing: windows, hypertext, graphics, efficient navigation and command input, video conferencing, the computer mouse, word processing, dynamic file linking, revision control, and a collaborative real-time editor. Engelbart's presentation was the first to publicly demonstrate all of these elements in a single system. The demonstration was highly influential and spawned similar projects at Xerox PARC in the early 1970s. The underlying concepts and technologies influenced both the Apple Macintosh and Microsoft Windows graphical user interface operating systems in the 1980s and 1990s.

Typical Seth Abramson
Rather than ask friends to ask @Gargron or his admin, he just goes off in public. It was probably a mistake, just as mine was. He blocks all his many critics. Heaven forbid someone should block him back.

Not a bad analysis of media manipulation. My only note would be he is over harsh on Wikipedia. Sometimes the information waters are muddied on that service, but they have plenty of systems in place to correct misinformation and dysinformation. They are still a reasonable first stop for finding useful resources. Just like any encyclopedia. youtu.be/U26-D-7Ey2w
