Hilarious, I forgot I signed up 20 weeks back on Mastodon! Most likely because registrations were closed at mastodon.social (and LastPass would have popped up my login details.
So I am inactive right now at danie10@mastodon.social

PlayStation 3 Emulator Making Progress On #Linux Support
The #PlayStation 3 emulator being worked on is #RPCS3 and is an open-source, community-driven emulator written in C++. The project has been in the works since 2011 and is working with some #PS3 titles -- reportedly over 500 commercial games, but many of the demanding AAA titles do not yet work. RPC3 has Vulkan and OpenGL support along with DirectX.
See http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=RPCS3-Linux-Coming
I'm working on a blogpost to explain the federated timeline, user accounts and idea of multiple identities and I could use some quotes and examples from longtime Mastodon/GNUSocial users. When you have an account on multiple instances, why do you do that?
How do you manage these accounts and logins? Is Mastodon thé solution for your identities?
You don't have to name the accounts and you can always DM me if you want to stay anonymous.

Photos of our Table Mountain Hike 15 Apr 2017
We hiked up Skeleton Gorge from Kirstenbosch Gardens. We then hiked to the Upper Cable Car station, only to find on arrival a howling gale force wind and the cable car was closed. So we had to descend via Platteklip Gorge which was very slow going. The end point was only reached a good 30 minutes after it had got dark.
