As a Blind person i never thought i would be on social media savoring photos. But the communal Mastodon alt text game is so strong that sweet, poetic or silly descriptions abound on my timeline. Thanks to legions of people who take time to write a meaningful description of the ephemera they post, i learn so much about insects, plants, buildings, memes — all dispatches from a dimension of the world that i otherwise wouldn't experience. If you're wondering whether anybody reads these things: YES.
@info the Starving Artist trope, i.e. the claim that art can't exist without copyright, is easily debunked.
Art existed for millennia before copyright (1710), and we celebrate many pre-copyright artists as great masters. Da Vinci, Michaelangelo, Vermeer, Shakespeare, Vivaldi, Bach.
Very happy that #YouTubeMusic has arrived on my #Tesla. #YTM is one of the few services that allows you to upload your own music files (inherited from their old Google Play Music). I will still use #TuneIn, for stations like #GothvilleRadio (http://gothville.com/), but the other services were just too repetitive and limited in what they would play.
@simon_brooke sorry, like all provenance systems you need to trust the operators; the end user needs to care (do you currently lack confidence in reusable containers), and you need broad refusal of un-validated items, and full chain of custody otherwise it falls back to trust everyone. E.g. operator A fills with virgin olive oil, B buys and swaps for cheap, then on sells to C, D, E. E thinks they got something they didn't (last blockchain is A).
Even with full chain, if B can still sell in unmarked containers, they can profit, i.e. end consumers need to care enough to refuse, e.g. diamonds (or high value luxury handbags), not recycled containers.
@CarlosCD the one with the moon (what it looks like) is more visually interesting with different colour areas, for the overall picture.
If the focus is just the character, then keep the background plain (no moon).
Thank you #AirVPN for providing reliable #ipv6 #vpn services with your #Eddie client. https://airvpn.org/
@malin the term Oracle is often used in GM-less games with a more traditional structure for the tables and random elements that replace the GM, e.g. rolling monster actions/ attacks (although not all GM-less games have this structure).
It also makes sense as the GM for a game if on theme.

Workaround Steps:
1. Boot Windows into Safe Mode or the Windows Recovery Environment
2. Navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike directory
3. Locate the file matching `C-00000291*.sys`, and delete it.
4. Boot the host normally.

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.

We like it when you buy our games.
We LOVE it when you play them.
So next week we're launching Dice Pool to help you run a great session of Blades in the Dark, Monster of the Week, Thirsty Sword Lesbians, and Fate.
Run a great #ttrpg session with confidence!
