Does anyone else find it outrageous that U.N. agencies keep removing RSS feeds for their updates while prominently featuring Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Youtube accounts on their websites? Our taxes fund these entities. We deserve open access to the content they produce.
I wonder if Elon Musk can turn Twitter into the Gmail of the fediverse / activitypub / mastodon?
@matrix@mastodon.matrix.org weird that I hear about this via a repost from @Matrix, from a twitter post...

It's been an amazing week for Mastodon! Our network has gained 141K active users this week, and 176K this month; our iOS/Android apps have risen through the ranks on the app stores, and the EU launched their own Mastodon server!

The first #Artwork i did in early 2019 for #Cyberpunk Red. I was really excited to work on the project and had so much fun with this :D also went a bit over the top, result being: Parts of this were used as the cover for the Jumpstart Kit.🥳

@kelseyfrog welcome to the fediverse!
@anarchotaoist correct. Democracy is the game theory optimal solution for might-makes-right. Instead of two sides actually fighting, with many unnecessary deaths, simply count how many of each side and the smaller number agrees to submit.

Hello world , finally getting myself into this verse
@FranckLeroy exchange platforms, i.e. banking, are great. Physical cash is also pretty bad and has limitations; gold even more so. You lose decentralisation, but that is fine for most people. However the core is free, unlike fiat

Finally got my KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World TRPG book! It's a fat 320-page manga-sized book with kinda shitty paper quality and small print, but system looks neat so far, and I like the anime a lot.
Starts with 82-page "replay" (session transcript) instead of the usual 1-page fake examples in Western games.

@matrix I've always found it strange we have interop for email, phones, and even postal mail; but not chat or video calls. I guess the economic incentives, i.e. user demand, are not strong enough - not sure government mandate is the best solution though. Maybe getting rid of copyright and other laws that punish reverse engineering would be better.
I finally got around to posting updated notes on setting up my IPv6 only server, now with docker-compose to run services (WordPress blog, Matrix Synapse). If you are interested in IPv6 (now 35% of the Internet), have a read at https://sgryphon.gamertheory.net/2022/03/27/running-an-ipv6-only-host-redux/
Wow. Self driving Tesla on some very difficult roads. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NC3dPJzJHuE
@FranckLeroy Coinbase != Bitcoin. Coinbase can't stop two individuals trading Bitcoin directly. No single point can. It would require 50%+ of network to act in concert.

Support Independent Role-Playing Games on Itch.io Creator Day
There are lots of people doing lots of amazing work to support independent role-playing games. If you aren’t sure what to do to support a role-playing game creator, here’s an option. Buy a game. Play that game. Talk earnestly and passionately about what playing that game was like in public.
