The British Library is doing a few talks inspired by the 50th anniversary of D&D.
This one has Ian Livingstone (Fighting Fantasy, Games Workshop/White Dwarf, Domark/Eidos) talking about the early years of #RPG gaming.

Added Rowan, Rook & Decard to Libreture's list of DRM-free bookshops. 💜
Publishers of Eat The Reich, Die, Heart, Spire, Honey Heist, Unbound, Goblin Quest, and many other tabletop games, their mission is to create awesome moments through exciting, beautiful, clever games.
@mrundkvist (via ChatGPT): I decide to proceed with caution. I move silently towards the door on the right, pressing my ear against it to listen more closely to the voices. I want to gather as much information as possible before making any decisions. If the voices are discussing something valuable or revealing their identities and intentions, it might help me plan my next move. I ensure my weapon is ready, just in case I need to defend myself.
What do I hear behind the door?

For prototyping I can recommend @penpot. No AI and it's free to use.
You can self-host it, because it is free as in open source. And beer. And freedom.

@stubbornella one more reason for all #Figma users to give the OpenSource @penpot a try instead
A good #dualstack network should still run #dns64 and #nat64, so that it can fully support #ipv6 only devices and allow them a way to connect to legacy (ipv4) internet sites. https://sgryphon.gamertheory.net/2022/12/running-nat64-in-a-dual-stack-network/
@laren It certainly makes shelving them easier.
My guess is something to do with the size of a sheet of paper, e.g. for a character sheet ... and using A4 in Australia made things slightly awkward with mostly US made books.
While my majority fit the usual size profile, Cthulhu, Pendragon, books across various editions of Dungeons & Dragons, Ars Magica, Amber, Castle Falkenstein.
I also have a decent half shelf of smaller size that I actually prefer - Savage Worlds, FATE, Blades in the Dark, Dungeon World, Burning Wheel, Fiasco, Cortex, Polairs, Microscope.
Then there are the weird size box sets that don't fit anywhere like Mouse Guard, Everyway.
@Lats @perthdev the government should not be involved in energy generation at all, except as an enforcer of safety and environmental standards/costs (which may include the cost of damage, aka carbon tax).
This includes not banning energy generation such as #nuclear, which is the *safest* form of energy generation (even including all disasters -- please actually research before claiming otherwise).
The government should not pay for it, but they also shouldn't stop energy producers from using it (provided those high safety records are maintained). It should be up to the producers how #solar & #nuclear can work together to eliminate fossil fuels.

🆕 blog! “The complexity is the attraction - reflections on trying to use crypto”
A few weeks ago, someone wanted to send me some crypto. After spending months studying for a Blockchain exam, I usually avoid such things. But, hey, $20 is $20. So I signed up for a wallet, installed an extension, verified my credentials, saved a seed phrase…

I fell down a rabbit hole this evening reading old blog posts about The Forge, Ron Edwards, and GNS/Big Model #TTRPG theory.

Reasons why Matrix can be better for diversity than closed platforms:
* Wide variety of implementations
* Public accountability
* Low cost
Our openness makes us stronger!

@phrichards @fastmail mailbox.org is my recommendation for privacy/security (they support PGP). Apart from that, not too expensive, and you can bring your own domain.

Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison this morning, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK for Australia.
After more than five years in a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars.

@tchambers hey, just like I'm grateful that my email provider doesn't arbitrarily block Gmail, outlook, etc. Or my telephone provider doesn't arbitrarily block Germany or something. Federation should be encouraged as the norm.

Just a note saying how my #Fediverse experience has been made immeasurably richer for being able to take in and engage with carefully curated #Threads users, #BlueSky bridged users, #WordPress ActivityPub enabled blogs, Federated #Podcast episodes, #PixelFed photos, and Peertube videos. All from one Mastodon account. This works.
And I'm grateful for the moderation tools to mute, block and curate all of this, and the Mastodon lists to make them all digestable and not just info overload.

@FediThing I absolutely agree that each server admin needs to take actions too to moderate not just leave it to individuals. And I think it fine that some communities choose to block threads.
Thus far at Indieweb social 871 of our users follow over 3,600+ threads users, have seen over 153K posts and we have had ZERO tickets issued for any threads user. Could this change as Threads fully federates? Sure. But so far so good.
