Wow, Mastodon.cloud was offline for several days and there was absolutely no communication as to what was happening. Pretty bad for a decentralized service... #mastodon #instance #fail

Librem 5: software updates for... the phone no backers ever received? https://puri.sm/posts/librem-5-september-2019-software-update/ #lol #librem5 #software

Been using Wireguard in place of OpemVPN om my android phone for 5 days now. Despite claims of wireguard being lighter process wise i cant see any difference in battery consumption so it must be marginal. #wireguard #openvpn #mobile #android

dxvk version 1.4.4 out! https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/tag/v1.4.4 #dxvk #linux #linuxgaming

My bad. Ramen packs, not chips. Is that an upgrade?

Become a YouTube celebrity in Japan -> your face ends up on packs of chips. Live the dream!

A lot more details about the Librem 5 saga (i.e. why no phones seem to have made it to any backer yet, and broken promises on the way): https://web.archive.org/web/20191027144805/https://jaylittle.com/post/view/2019/10/the-sad-saga-of-purism-and-the-librem-5-part-1 #librem5 #librem #phone

This interview with ex-CTO from Purism seems to portray that the organization is poorly managed and may not exist in a year from now: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Zlatan-Todoric-Interview #purism #opinion

Permanent Record. Snowden talks about the game Loom (1990 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loom_(video_game)) and describes it as: "a society of elders who create a secret loom that controls the world. When a young boy discovers the loom's power, he's forced into exile, and everything spirals into chaos until the world decides that a secret fate machine might not be such a great idea after all". Fiction? #loom #permanentrecord #snowden

I am going thru "Permanent Record" from Snowden and to my surprise there was a whole chapter about the NES and Super Mario Bros - his memories as a child discovering video games. It was kind of unexpected. #Snowden #NES #supermario #permanentrecord #book

Gotta love the reporting on Kotaku which is basically one paragraph, followed by tweets and absolutely not a minute of research. What a great harbor of journalism! https://kotaku.com/legendary-japanese-arcade-anata-no-warehouse-is-closing-1839051433
