@shawnwildermuth If we're going outside of consoles at large, my first experience that I remember was Space Cadet pinball on windows 95. Been in PC gaming for as long as I can remember.

@shawnwildermuth Sad that handhelds aren't on here, I owned a Game Boy long before I had a console. First one I played was 5, first one I owned was 10.

I also had 1 from a very young age, but never had anything to plug it into 😢

@randName Seems similar to the high level concept I was thinking of, yep!

@daniel Ah interesting! Good to know that's a supported thing.

@patak @daniel I think I'm going to end up writing my own Netlify-based variant of Mastodon at this point 😅

@daniel I'm not just following people though, I have a number of tags pinned. Content from servers that federate with mastodon.social appears there, even if I don't follow the individual posters.

@patak @daniel For context, this is how I'm using Mastodon:

@patak @daniel On the other hand, I'm a moderator on clocktower.social, I could hypothetically just move everything there, but am I cutting off my access to other kinds of content?

@patak @daniel Yeah, I've heard that too. It's just difficult for me because I'm trying to follow tabletop RPGs, trans/LGBT topics, writing, NASA/space exploration, and all the code/tech stuff. Being on a big instances gives me a big net, and I never have to look at the local feed (which is basically worthless here).

@patak @daniel I keep seeing people changing servers and wondering whether I should do the same. Mastodon.social seems to have resolved its performance issues, and I have a lot of interests I want to follow beyond just tech. What's your thought/feeling on moving instances at this point?

@jdforrester it’s a giant phone!

@shaneafsar I think it wouldn’t be too much effort, honestly. The larger issue may be allowing data to flow back into your Astro site. Not sure how the API works, but it’d be interesting to find out!

Feel like the ChatGPT would be good for generating writing prompts.

@iSeven07 I use it about once a month, and that mostly through the app. I don’t enjoy the site at all.

@kevinctofel I’ll keep an eye out for your review!

@kevinctofel Realky wish Google had been able to focus on Chromebooks more, I was super excited about the Pixelbook and then it went nowhere. They seem like such a great device for so many people.

@thisismissem it's referenced higher in the doc, the problem is that including the time zone isn't supported for `datetime-local` inputs so they're cutting off the ISO datetime string at the "z".

"...the Date.toISOString() method returns the date/time in UTC with the suffix "Z" denoting that timezone; removing the "Z" would provide a value in the format expected by a datetime-local input."

TIL that there is a Y10K problem that will affect web apps, but never fear, MDN is ready to help you through it!

Also, shoutout to GoatCounter (https://www.goatcounter.com/) for being really good, open source tracking for free that respects privacy.

Feel free to check out my site statistics here: https://lindsaykwardell.goatcounter.com/

A bit over a week later, I now have ~118 views from Mastodon, and 13 from Twitter. Despite the timeline not being algorithmic, I'm getting more views from Mastodon.

I also got 13 views from another site's blog post that referenced my post, so Twitter's showing here is really not great.

Again, I know that this is going to be biased since I'm writing about Mastodon, but I thought it was noteworthy.
