Hello NASA! This sounds great.

Could you please add image descriptions when you attach photographs to posts on Mastodon? You have a photograph in this post, but visually impaired Mastodonians who use screen readers have no idea what it is. Worse, when there's no image description the screen reader will read out the file name: 77490243d61ed470. Can you imagine how annoying that is? When describing images, imagine you're explaining what's in the photograph to a dear friend on the phone.



50 years ago today, @nasa’s #Apollo17 countdown clock started in preparation for the launch of the last crewed mission to the Moon. Let’s kick off our final #Apollo50th celebration with a #TriviaTuesday poll! ⬇️

I'm convinced that the Saturn rockets should have kept flying long after the Apollo program ended. They were absolutely amazing and we're only now regaining the capability they had.

Death Stranding Director's Cut has an annoying bug that can reboot your Steam Deck gamingonlinux.com/2022/12/deat…
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

it is not the only one, I had a similar bug with Assassin's Creed II yesterday. In the middle of my play, the steam deck rebooted with no reason...

MineClone2 version 0.81.0 (free Minecraft-like) for Minetest out now gamingonlinux.com/2022/12/mine… #FreeGame #OpenSource #Linux
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Minetest is one of those things that I always feel like deserves more attention, it's not Minecraft, but it is so much more flexible and with how moddable it is has a lot more potential imo

(I say this as an ex Minecraft addict)



Google now actually processing refunds of Google Store orders of Stadia Hardware.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

I never bought into the stadia stuff but I got a stadia controller for free with my YouTube premium, now use it to play games on Linux. Not a half bad controller imo.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

I got a refund for my free game a couple of weeks ago (got a $40 coupon somehow, I don’t remember anymore)
Was quite funny to see a $0.00 refund email, I guess there where no minimum limits put on the script doing the refunds 😅

"lbs" is a weird unit abbreviation, not just because it's nothing like "pounds" but also, you pluralize it, unlike basically every other unit abbreviation.
