Wow @paulg was suspended from twitter. I suspect it was because he had his website in his bio which links to his mastodon account.

WTF

Imagine sucking so bad at your job that mastodon scares you as a competitor

Not changing my bio here but I am ordering some popcorn.

pifmgr.dll is still included in Windows 11 and still, to this day, contains a bunch of random-ass 16-colour icons from Windows 3.x that have nothing to do with computing

@OhPoorPup The non elite has a clicky disk pad thing and doesn’t have the snapback issues of the elite’s heavy sticks - my favorite controller so far / overall!
