If you like Final Fight and Streets of Rage (Bare Knuckle), you should get Streets of Rage 4. I played the version on on the Anbernic RG556 (and RG5405M, note9 + Gamesir X2 Pro) and it is a blast!

If you want to join the OpenShift Local (CRC) team as a QE engineer, please take a look at:

https://redhat.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/Jobs/job/Remote-Spain/Senior-Virtualization-Quality-Engineer_R-037864-1

You do not need to be in Spain, although it would make it slightly easier. Also, it will be a QE position which will allow you to contribute directly to the codebase as you will be part of the engineering team.

is such an awesome company...

too bad I never owned a MegaDrive in the 90's. Was too much into the , which I do not regret, as it created me the person I am (as a software engineer/engineering manager). Though, I would wonder what this would have been if I had a Sega instead... ;-)

Say what?!?!?!??? And such a person calls himself a "techlead" ? How misinformed of a douchebag this is...


at-techlead message from Twitter/X, that reads: "No one asked for women programmers. We asked for women influencers and instead got 'independent women' in pants suits. A woman should prioritize being a good mother and wife, not a coding machine"

Listening to Bassdrive (using Foobar2000) on my -based RG405M handheld game console. Best way to play retrogames... Like tetris!

hi @tailscale you updated your client and i have issues with the xit nodes. first i thought it wasnt enabled, but green has been replaced with blue?!? but worse, it does not work at all. i havedowngraded to an earlier version as the exit node functionality in the client seems broken.

@gbraad@mastodon.social avatar

Google play has not yanked Magic 2014 and 2015 from downloading (they are in my library), but 2014 is unplayable due to the market not working. I used to get the version from Amazon App Store, but this is now removed!?! IS this even legal!!! There is no way to access my purchase anymore!

Piracy? "If purchase isn't ownership, then piracy isn't theft"

I have receipts that show I am supposed to have it!

In the original Snatcher game on the PC88 youl'll see a logo that 'closely' resembles Konami, but wih the name "Joy Division". Pretty sure Hideo Kojima knew this band.

"XZ Utils cyberattack likely not an isolated incident"

I can attest, as I have been approached before, to rid of my project for continued development, as that was 'in the interest of the user base'.

Also, others have tried to persuade me to sell my chrome extension.

"Account linking allows Sony to ban abusive players, and also gives banned players the right to appeal."

Sony and listening? Never gonna happen! There won't be an appeal option.

Master Chief was revealed in the Halo TV show?!?? That is like when Fallout 4 introduced a voiced protagonist. It takes away of the immersion and the lore that has been created; it could be anybody, even you!

Note: the Fallout TV series is different, as they do actual character and worldbuilding close to the source material.

@gbraad@mastodon.social avatar

Apple charging 50c for downloads in Europe of Delta to be available on AltStore (which offsets the cost with the 1.50 Eur/year). It is unfortunate Apple forced them to do this, but great to see AltStore's fee covers the Delta - Game Emulator!

Is the AMD/ATI Radeon 7600M XT usable for AI/LLM? I do not see mention of the M(obile) variants in any of the AMD support announcements.

While the RG556 is a great / platform, it has a big flaw when it comes to TypeC support; it will NOT do HDMI and charging at the same time. It is using an external display OR charging... not both! Hopefully a software update, but I doubt... This means that the Baseus Steam Deck docks I have are all not working with this device (but works with Samsung devices and a Deck of course).
