FUTO

Computers should belong to you, the people. We develop and fund technology to give them back.

PLEASE don't send the Immich team AI slop

[Eron Wolf @eron_wolf]

World of Warcraft was special because of the Blizzard team from 2001–2006. Everything after Activision and Microsoft took over only made it worse.

Enthusiastic developers then built the Classic+ experience that was actually good in the shadows (Turtle WoW and others). Their reward was a RICO lawsuit from Microsoft. Now Microsoft is selling WoW Forever after slurping the best innovations.

Fuck you @Microsoft @satyanadella

Also fuck you to the streamers who are afraid to even mention the hard work of the actually good developers.

FUTO is proud to support FUSALMO’s STEAM Maker Academy in El Salvador. Incredible work from these young engineers.
