I just discovered https://phanpy.social/ , and this is the most excited I've been about a Mastodon web client since that one that looked like Google+. And this time I'm actually excited about useful things, specifically:
- thread support that often displays the thread inline on my timeline and always comes with a very prominent indicator that I'm seeing something from a thread
- an optional "boosts carousel" that separates boosts into their own timeline-goes-sideways chunks every so often

oh sure, when generations of ancient humans feed animals and teach them useful tasks it's called "domestication", but when *i* do it it's called "trespassing" and i'm made to "leave the zoo" by "force"

i am upset about this one because the taxonomy is subtly but objectively incorrect

to clarify what i'm looking for, i want the oldest game *by its listed release date on Steam*. i know there are some pongs and zorks and such on there that are (in some form) strictly older than 1983, but the versions on steam are updates or collections or remakes with newer release dates; this also disqualifies stuff like atari 2600 games that were put up there as part of newer collections
oldest release on steam update: i found dragon's lair on there, so the year to beat is now 1983 https://store.steampowered.com/app/227380/Dragons_Lair/

i wonder what the oldest release date on a steam game is. the commercial port of Rogue is on there and was released in 1985, that has to be close to the oldest
hey bby are you the subtle but allusive chapter illustrations of the original jurassic park novel because you've got dragon curves

For folks with 3DS CFW, someone has now written a tool (a patched version of gm9, specifically) to force refresh the NAND, with an option to list how many bad blocks it found so you can see if you're getting anywhere with repeated cycles: https://gbatemp.net/threads/corrupted-cartridge-fixer-release.628539/

Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS cartridges use NAND flash for storage , not mask ROMs. Like all Flash memory, they "leak" charge over time and eventually lose data.
The Switch and 3DS card reader tells game cards to "refresh" themselves periodically. https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendo-switch-3ds-cartridge-lifespan.591607/
But, some users are reporting cartridges already dying, especially ones they haven't used for years. I wonder which of mine already don't work.
Just a reminder that you don't own any data you can't back up. Buying physical cartridges and game cards isn't enough if they're using technology that inevitably deteriorates over time.

Today I will be posting thoughts about Aaron Swartz, who died on this day in 2013. The academic community should be much more aware of him, and challenge the massive problem of academic publishing that we are all part of. Let's make it our mission to tell people about Aaron and what he stood for.
