Its about time we brought the Blue Blur back home to a Sega console! Presenting Sonic Mania Plus... running on an actual physical Sega #Dreamcast!

No audio or 3D effects yet, but oh my god, she's at a perfect 60FPS and feels right at home on DC!

I have my Microsoft reward points auto donate to @eff.org each month.
Every time I play on Xbox, EFF gets a small donation to support their work :-)

@juzcook.bsky.social great you're on Bluesky now! Heard you mention it in your latest video, but couldn't find a link on YouTube profile.
Luckily you're consistent in your account names 😉

@openvibe.social since last update, even though I have nostr disabled, it keeps appearing in the trending feed.
I have toggled it on/off to reset the setting, and also tried reinstalling the app. But posts from nostr keep coming through in Trending feed.

After 17 years of research, Microsoft unveiled its first quantum chip using topoconductors, a new material enabling a million qubits.

Current quantum computers only have dozens or hundreds of qubits.

This breakthrough could revolutionize AI, cryptography, and other computation-heavy fields.

Hey everyone!

We will try to get this channel running in the coming weeks. We're currently exploring different methods to automate our news postings here, which is challenging.

The fact that I can finally cross post between Blue Sky Threads, Mastodon, and NOSTR from one app at once is absolutely amazing.

@openvibe.bsky.social is the absolute GOAT 🐐

Seriously guys, if you haven't tried the #Openvibe app yet, you're missing out. You need to try it ASAP.

A bit intense setting up OpenVibe, but pretty great app, so far for cross-posting and viewing across all these social networks 😂 This could mean I start posting more.
