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:

https://www.kiva.org/invitedto/fediverse/by/anonym00se

#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.

Playing Halo Infinite and encounter an arcade machine in the game of Halo : Infinite. that's like dividing by zero you can't do that. The universe should have imploded right then and there.

Kind of feels like an hommage to that awful double dragon movie where they put an arcade cabinet of double dragon in the movie.

@coolboymew maybe they could get things off their minds by talking about video games

Now that the climate agenda is falling apart, I wonder if people like Bill Gates are considering nuking the polar ice caps just to save their agenda.

i wonder at what point of non-effective government doubling down on fascism will be the point people are comfortable admitting government has failed.

@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.
