Post by fit check for my napalm era, @vyr@princess.industries
my Fediverse post migration tool `slurp` can now [import from Bluesky](https://github.com/VyrCossont/slurp?tab=readme-ov-file#downloading-and-importing-a-bluesky-archive)! i'm looking for beta testers...

i've extended my `slurp` Fedi post migration tool to import to GTS from Bluesky (already does Mastodon and Pixelfed), using indigo to grab your CAR repo and blobs and parse post records

Check this out (particularly from around 6:00) for Scorched Earth circa 1969!
Could be of interest to game historians/fans - a 1969 film from Dartmouth College showing P0TSH0T, an early artillery/ballistic curve computer game, displayed using a plotter. Credit to the original uploader Kevin Bunch! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJ7A...

Use the term “touch grass” to indicate that someone needs to seek out reality, use the term “touch moss” to indicate that they need to seek out ancient forest magic beyond their mortal comprehension.

Video game factoid: Did you know that if a game gives the player choice between a male and female character, some people will actually choose the male one? Believe it or not, it's true - though reports indicate this is generally by accident

With traffic lights down, Waymos across the city stopped dead in their tracks at intersections.

The year is 2035. There are three game studios left. Each one produces a game every 10 years, killing 250+ developers in the process. They all accidentally make the same game because they used genAI in preproduction. They sell 500 million units each, missing quarterly targets. Everyone is laid off.

“try water fox or ice weasel” try chill penguin. install flame mammoth. you just download bubble crab. literally just use boomer kuwanger. sting chameleon has a search bar, use it to find toxic seahorse.
I asked what I should use instead of firefox and someone said “floorp” and I legitimately thought it was a bit for like five minutes. tech has gone beyond making the torment nexus real to making poob real.
