The sad part is that all the Musk evangelists (and there are a lot of them) will happily pay for a ‘verified’ account if they happen to exceed the limit.
A fool and their money are easily parted. That won’t be nearly enough people to offset the mind boggingly large losses of Twitter, however - so they’re basically just burning it for a sense of pride and accomplishment.
I got the Miyoo Mini Plus a few months ago, and I really love it. They’re really lovely devices for just whipping out for a quick game of Tetris, especially with the convenience of the game switcher and save states. I’ve been surprised by how usable it is, despite the small size.
I'm so out of the loop, this is blowing my mind. I'm looking at the site @FriendOfFalcons linked (https://anbernic.com/products/rg35xx), wow. Specs look pretty good, this emulator should easily run any PS1, GBA, Neo Geo game. Hahah what, Neo Geo? There's a blast from the past.
I can't find any info on what Linux distro it ships with, does this thing work out of the box or do you have to install the OS? I presume you supply the ROMs? Holy crap, and they have beefier handhelds that support later-gen platforms. This is awesome.
You can play it directly out of the box, but there are custom OS's out there that run things even better and add more features. You do supply the ROMs, but there are plenty of ROM packs out there too to make your life easier. I honestly recommend looking into RetroGameCorps on Youtube, he has some great content around these types of devices.
If you get the RG35XX specifically, I'd recommend this guide.
Ah ok, I should've figured there'd be custom OS's involved, that's awesome. Thx, I'll check out RetroGameCorps. And thanks for the starter guide link, looks super helpful.
I’m sorry if this goes against some instance/community rule and if so please just tell me - but where does one find reliable ROM packs? I only ever used EmuParadise back in the day (as I still do - but don’t tell anyone!)
There’s a contradiction here. The Supreme Court ruled that Speech can’t be compelled, not that you could bar certain people from a business. You could decline to decorate a cake with “MAGA”, but not decline to sell a cake to a Republican, for example. What those signs are promoting is still illegal.
Forgive me, but I don’t believe political affiliation is a protected class–protected classes are the only things people can’t discriminate based on. So like, race, sex, religion are protected, but democrat/republican/green party aren’t protected. Businesses can legally discriminate against non-protected classes. It’s just usually a bad business strategy to turn customers away.
Edit: the second sign is definitely more questionable, as it does specifically discriminate based on beliefs. I was mostly focused on the first sign.
I wouldn’t hate an Octopath Traveler style remake, but it would have to be really well done. It definitely doesn’t need to exist though as it is fine as is.
As a non Twitter user… reading 300/600 tweets a day seems like more than plenty. I mean the times I’ve poke around I see what maybe 60 or so tweets then move on to browsing another platform.
And me not knowing any better this somewhat seems to make sense if you have bots that are scraping all the data for intelligence to use for advertising or AI development etc.
Shouldn’t those bots have to pay since they are making money off data and let the individual users keep a free account?
The end goal of a social media platform is for users to use your platform. You want them engaging with content and ads. Rate limits are actually quite sensible if you want to prevent bots or data scraping, but the Twitter is being far too restrictive.
Lots of people are claiming to get rate limited after a few minutes of normal scrolling. Which makes me think these limits include replies as well. Realistically you’re not scrolling through, and Twitter isn’t loading, 600 posts for a least a couple hours. Even then, do you not want people using your platform?
The thing is that it wasn’t based on tweets but background API calls, and some people were hitting that limit just by logging in or scrolling for 5 minutes.
It also doesn’t make sense because it’s easy to get around this by creating new bots. They’re only really hurting user engagement.
