Time traveler from 2023 goes back to 1978 and meets the developers of Space invaders
traveler: "Hi, I played a clone of your game, but it will be released in 45 years"
developers: "Omg! Is this game so popular in the future it will survive almost half of a decade"
traveler: "Well, it survived, but not because it was good. In the clone you control a but, which shoots poo on flying toilets and you can cover behind toilet paper."
developer: "What is wrong with you people?"

Alright, our instance's motion to defederate from Meta failed to pass. What's next?
Previously, I've shared a draft Federation Charter (codeberg.org/fenndev/federatio…), and now I've been made aware of another draft "Positive Fediverse Pact" (cryptpad.fr/pad/#/2/pad/edit/5…). It seems like there's a positive general sentiment towards the idea, so with that in mind...
Anyone willing to get into the nitty-gritty of it with me and flesh one out?

Cartridges game launcher adds support for Legendary for Epic Games and Flatpaks
Remember Cartridges? The simple launcher that aims to be a sort-of all in one solution, to bring together games from all of your sources. Well, it just had a nice upgrade.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
Be nice to have libretro support but I kind of like having to manually create a launcher for retroarch for each game as means your more likely to play them.
Think my next step is trying to work out a way to hide the itch / steam window that opens in the background.

In case you missed it, all links on Mastodon count as 23 characters towards your limit, no matter how many characters the link really is.
So, you don't need to use link shorteners on Mastodon as they won't actually affect the link's length.
Mastodon does this because it's better for everyone's privacy to avoid link shortener services, it means people can see what they're clicking on, and the link won't stop working if the shortener service shuts down.
