The standard text editor which comes with the Mac is fine for websites and programming, or you can download Emacs for OSX. Available for both Intel and later Macs

Bluesky, a twitter-like social media platform, can be accessed as any other website through your browser?;-)

Good luck

Because facebook sucks and Musk is unhinged?

Re: Any possibility of moving from X/Twitter to BlueSky?

 

You should avoid the politics of "this vs that" and focus on your most excellent games, and communicate via "all of the above" using something like HootSuite, which is a social media platform that lets you make one post that goes to multiple social media accounts.

And frankly, younger gamers avoid all the "Boomer tech" as my son's friend called it (referring to FB, Twitter, etc.) and they congregate on Discord and Instagram,

Re: Any possibility of moving from X/Twitter to BlueSky?

 

Moved to bluesky in the last week or so and it does feel very refreshingly calm compared to other options.

Not sure what happened to facebook but my feed recently seems to be massively spammed with garbage of late.

Re: Any possibility of moving from X/Twitter to BlueSky?

 

I have not checked it out but from a forum that I frequent they say that if you tell it you are interested in X, Y, and Z that is what you get unlike on Facebook that often ignores what you want.

I do as well
Re: Any possibility of moving from X/Twitter to BlueSky?

 

Hey, thanks for the clarifications about the evolution of the media use by TFL.
I particularly appreciate the reflections on X/Twitter, a very good motivation to stop any involvement with your medias and, generally, TFL.
Have a nice day

Re: Any possibility of moving from X/Twitter to BlueSky?

 

Part of the problem is that various people have their preferred avenue for TFL information but there are too many -- Facebook; Twitter/X; BlueSky(now); TFL Forum; io Group; Instagram and who knows how many others. I imagine Richard and Nick just can't keep up with all of them so they have to pick which one(s) have the most followers.
?
In fact, from Richard: "Right. A bit of an announcement. My usual posts on Twitter have been some business related stuff but usually just me being an idiot. I am so utterly sick of the political sewage on Twitter that I have decided that this will be my new home. ?You'll still see some stuff there but I will be here more."
?
I'll be checking BlueSky now. I see a pint of beer so all is good!
