After some rather significant technical gymnastics some very smart people (myself not included) seem to have employed a fix to get #Microblog to #Mastodon crossposting working again with my setup! Here now is a test post to see how it works :) Documentation sometime next week for the benefit of other admins, as long as everything remains stable 😁🤞 #socialmedia #serveradmin #tech

#Panasonic has commissioned the creation of an Original Video #Animation, commonly known as an #OVA. It’s not for marketing, per se, but a fairy tale promoting a belief in ourselves to perceive the world more positively. #OsakaKansaiExpo #2025 #LandOfNOMO www.youtube.com/watch

One of the biggest surprises from yesterday’s #NintendoDirect was the upcoming new featured called #VirtualGameCard. For an explanation, read the brief article. I will note that this is way late but also right on time for the #Switch2 direct next week. #videogames arstechnica.com/gaming/20…

When the #Tesla #Cybertruck is dead and gone it will have achieved an “honor” I don’t believe has ever been been bestowed upon another vehicle; The first to be tanked by the sheer incompetence of its execution and how much people hate the CEO.

I have to say that this is one of the most impressive demonstrations of a “flying car”, for lack of a better term, I have seen. It is smooth, fast, agile, and loud. I wonder if those asymmetrical props would have the same thrust. #tech #aircraft #JetsonONE www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Traffic - John Barleycorn Must Die (1970 Deluxe Edition). Ironically, Dave Mason had left Traffic again and didn’t play on this critically acclaimed record. This is always my go-to Traffic disc, though. #rock #jazz #blues youtube.com/playlist

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Dave Mason - A Shade of Blues (2025). A founding member of the legendary Traffic, Dave rolls out a new set of killer #blues tracks with some awesome surprises. After this I’m going to have to put on John Barleycorn Must Die. #music #rock youtube.com/playlist
