@davemark@wklj The site uses #Ruffle now, a #Flash emulator built in #Rust. It's not perfect, but it works reasonably well. They also uploaded a lot of their videos (and occasionally upload new ones) on YouTube to homestarrunnerdotcom, though some #EasterEggs are missing. If you want to indulge your nostalgia on Mastodon, there is the Homestar Screens bot @grapenuts_robot, which shares random screens from the series, though it lacks #AltText. #OnionBubs! #OnionBubs!

#tech question regarding phones. I need to buy a new one asap. Battery is suddenly not working properly and it is where my #CMG is. I don't want all the damn bloatware but I'm worried about switching from an android to an apple.
Is it easy to move from android to apple? Contacts, pics, etc?
Does Apple have less bloatware? Or does that depend on your service provider?
Thank you!
@Mary625 FairPhone if you are from EU? Otherwise you can always flash LineageOS or /e/OS on basically any Android phone. Don't use the stock roms from Samsung etc. Android is not the problem, Samsung is.
Portraits of Queen West is #KevinSteele's extraordinary photo-book, a work of "sequential art" featuring time- and space-series of a single - rather glorious - stretch of #Toronto's #QueenStreetWest:

Steele's pioneering work - in #Hypercard, then #CDROMs, then #Flash - helped define the look-and-feel of the old, good internet; an #urbanist feel that owed a debt to #Toronto's most beloved adopted urbanist, #JaneJacobs. Steele and Mackerel made things that were beautiful and human-centered, human-scaled and human-adaptable.
Tiger Mum is at yoga with Buffalo Mum. Tiger Mum glides through chathuranga to upward dog, feeling her sleek muscles ripple under her animal-print tights. They are an expensive dri-weave.
Hey, remember a decade ago when #Adobe decided to charge a revshare on people using cross-compiled game engines in #Flash and everyone jumped ship to #Unity ? i.e. the exact thing Adobe was trying to prevent?
I just realized that the major reason that The #Flash (2023) is so watchable is Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne. I’m so slow witted.
I mean, once they go ”Back to the future” the storytelling picks up too, and Ezra Miller is working hard, but it was Bruce Wayne, General Zod, and Kara Zor-El that glued my attention to the film instead of my phone
Sunday night in #PalmSprings is going to be quite crazy with #flash#flooding. I would not recommend driving through there that evening on the way to #Phoenix.
Watching the #Flash movie. I grew up with this comic and honestly, the creative license they’re taking with these characters is starting to annoy me just a little. What Barry Allen and Iris West are supposed to look like, in attached pic. Aquaman was also blonde. They cast Superman right, Wonder Woman right, Tony Stark mostly right and Green Arrow close (minus the swashbuckly goatee). But Flash was my favourite and he just doesn’t look like Ezra Miller and Iris sure as shinola doesn’t look like whoever is playing the character now. </rant>
