@ItsSkyDragonz @kirby I love it.
Hello Fediverse! I’ve had several people express interest in #Kiva after I posted about it recently. This inspired me to create a Fediverse Kiva team.
If you don’t know what Kiva is: it’s a philanthropic micro-lending organization that matches people who need small loans (typically a few hundred to a few thousand dollars) with people who are willing to lend. When a loan is repaid, those funds become available for you to lend again (or cash-out if you choose) thus multiplying your impact!
It’s a really neat program, I highly encourage people to check out (https://www.kiva.org), and if you do decide to sign up, join the Fediverse team to show solidarity with your fellow Fedi givers:

#GivingTuesday is coming up on December 1st. If 10 new people from the Fediverse join the Kiva Fediverse team by December 1st, I will fund 10 $25 loan credits for the people who signed up! If more than 10 people join the team, I will pick 10 team members at random to receive the $25 credits.
If you have questions about Kiva before signing up, I will do my best to answer them.
Shares and boosts appreciated.

@ooignignoktoo They should've gotten Ed Fries and ported that Halo 2600 homebrew. Or they could've asked Bungie to include Marathon (essentially Halo's predecessor).
@icedquinn But just from skimming through the example code, I can see this could've been used as an educational tool in some alternate timeline.
@icedquinn Amiga was basically already dead by the time I was born. All my life it has been either Windows, MacOS, or Linux.

What even is this? It looks like a weird blend between a data/markup language and a programming language.
@ooignignoktoo They wasted a good opportunity to include classic games as easter eggs.
@lanodan Switzerland has no capital because it used to be a confederacy. Nauru is the only other country without one.
@lanodan I remember that you could claim what type of nation it is, but they all have a leader, capital, currency, and a state religion.
@lanodan It's been a while since I played it, but I remember that every nation had a leader.
