Announced Today: The @internetarchive is now emulating handheld toys and games, building on the work of the @mamedev_org team. These are not "remakes" but emulations of the original circuits. Announcement is here: http://blog.archive.org/2018/03/18/some-very-entertaining-plastic-emulated-at-the-archive/ spread the word widely.

i'm breaking out of my follow-only complaint thread for this.
i would like to just say the difference here:
cws shown by link previews by default:
- inappropriate pictures or text shown with no option to not see them
- ignoring of explicit cw option set by poster
cw'ed content hidden:
- you have to click a link
- and then you have to click the 'show' button
- that's it
RT @kano_stuff@twitter.com: Hey folks, the Aline demo is now available on @itchio@twitter.com !
It's a weird interactive fiction, influenced by games like Yume Nikki and NieR.
Please share, it means a lot to me !

Grieving over websites that were important to me but disappeared without a complete backup (but if you have one, it'll make my week)
- The old zinelibrary.info which had perhaps a thousand zines, organized by topic, each one listed with a summary, a print-and-staple PDF, & an online reading PDF. I saved a few punk feminist zines from it that completely revolutionized how I think about relationships, my body, and my life plans. There are other online zine libraries now, but not the same one, and none of the same magnitude and navigability. I wish I'd saved more of it.
- The nonbinary.org wiki that was taken down in late 2016. I was just about to personally archive my most recent additions to it-- I had researched and written dozens of very long articles-- when I found it had been taken down. Archive.org didn't catch my newest edits.
- A handful of others' personal sites I admired, where the poetry got archived, but not the art, and the author's ghosted.
hi. to get this on the feddy timeline, the latest masto changed it so that cws are explicitly ignored in link previews you send to people on telegram, discord, etc.
so. just letting you know.
