You can run a Windows VM Chromebook. But why even bother? Just use a normal laptop.

Still waiting for politicians to inform the public about actually effective measures for preventing and treating #COVID19.

Keep your Vitamin D topped up. It works. Always has. Been proven time and time again for almost a whole year now:

Even if you don't believe the overwhelming evidence, it's utterly uncontroversial that vitamin D also enhances your mood and lowers your risk of depression. Which is a major benefit by itself during these times.

@LukeAlmighty I've never used a full engine. I always used frameworks like Pygame and MonoGame. I'd say start with something simple like Pygame (Python) or Love2D (Lua). They're simple frameworks for 2D games. The only challenging part is implementing levels, AI, and physics yourself, but it isn't hard as it seems.

https://twitter.com/NinEverything/status/1356326500044206080 Nintendo updates their 2-decade-old servers and plans to replace them with servers that are hopefully no more than 5 years out of date.

@beardalaxy Looks kind of jarring with the HD textures but lack of facial animations/voice acting. It's the same reason I prefer the N64 version of Perfect Dark over the XBLA version.

A few investing thoughts for those who are interested:

GME: Still heavily shorted and still a the most effective way to fuck over hedge fund douchebags. Just know that whatever money you put into it you won't see again.

AMC- Has been hit hard by the pandemic but their theatre experience was well-received before then. Still a risky bet but meme financing could help turn things around. Doesn't screw over hedge funds as hard as GME but unlike GME you aren't totally guaranteed to lose a bunch of money on it.

CTRM: A meme stock flying under the radar with plenty of growth potential because the company actually has pretty solid fundamentals and has recently been expanding its shipping fleet. It could legitimately do well coming out of the pandemic and be a good hold play. It is still a penny stock for a small company in a volatile market, which carries a good amount of inherent risk, but it's the rare meme stock belonging to an actually healthy company with legitimate growth upside.

DOGE: Literally just short-term meme gambling. You could just as easily lose it all as make a quick buck. Buy at your own risk.

Precious metals: Mostly a lolbert meme. If you can get a bit of physical silver in case shit goes down it's not the worst idea but stay the fuck away from paper silver.

Note that I have absolutely no investment experience whatsoever, you shouldn't listen to me, and these are just my takes based on a bunch of random shit I've read.

@coolboymew @fm And if you can, use an Android fork like Lineage so it isn't tied to Google.

@fm oof, that's starting bad for the fedi apps, looks like they're entirely going to remove competitions

If anyone is on iOS, better move to Android stuff so you can actually sideload apps
