WTF, a GameBoy AGI runtime?! This is wild!
Fun fact: Diaspora Inc is still around, and doing very well for itself. It does not own anything related to the social networking project anymore, but it does run one very popular product in the crowdfunding space. Diaspora Inc and its employees operate BackerKit.com!
So, Diaspora did get into Y Combinator, but it was very late stage. Technically, the company did get funding, but it's a comparatively small amount of about $250k in "runway" funds, intended as a reserve if things got bad at the company.

Just imagine if they integrated Steam games and Nexus Mods.
