i don't understand people who pay for discord nitro other than to show off that you have money to waste on a company that runs a comparatively dogshit service with bugged as hell mobile ports and to create a caste divide with other people who aren't paying for it

does anyone have any remaining software/peripherals for the original Valiant Roamer LOGO turtles? Valiant themselves, being mostly direct suppliers to schools and not individuals, haven't been too helpful. we have one, but not the pen attachment, or the serial cable, and i'd like to put it to better use ​

imo @mavica_again could make a living just #writing about tech – #software and #hardware. i saw a series of Discord posts it made about Tec Toy (a South American toy & electronics company that basically bullied Sega and Nintendo into sweetheart deals in the 80s and 90s) and it was one million times more interesting than reading another white dude's blog post about maximizing productivity with Obsidian on the iPad or whatever. someone get it a #job posting more cool shit!

did you know: there are queer people online who can help you with or are interested in hearing about, your retro computers who aren't foone

foone turing is the linus tech tips of trans people (not a compliment)

anyway, god, i need this year coming to be better for me and mavica, we could really use good news, and lots of it, i'm trying to hold onto our new years kiss being a good luck charm for next year, we have to make it through this

i cannot stress enough how much I admire @mavica_again for its technical capabilities (not to mention its creative output, aesthetic choices, and ability to seed my brain with words that I can't stop saying aloud). You should follow it imo

number one reason why you should join https://forums.transbian.love : it upsets the trolls so much that it exists that we get defaced and i can fix it in less than 10 minutes with just my phone because i'm that much of a badass and you need a badass like me to run a good trans community

and if you've ever wished for a return to forums, i've hosted lesbiaboard since 2018

it is first and foremost a queer safe space, but anyone who's ok with that is free to join and come talk to us about video games, tech or just cute things and food

i want an internet without people below 18 in it

Anyone who's spent time in smaller online forums has met a mod like Musk. You can tell it's gonna be a disaster from the moment they take over. Using their mod powers to settle personal scores, making up new rules to justify them, apologizing and reversing course, taking polls, offering to step down and then not doing it...
