Lots of people are forgetting (or does not know) what 'Free Speech' really means.
SMH when stupid celebrities cry censorship when they get fired for saying idiotic things.
Remember:
"free speech" DOES NOT mean "the freedom to say whatever you want without any consequences."
This old-ish article is worth reading even now:

@Kevin_Shipp if the decentralized ID ends up truly decentralized, I.e. not controlled, then it would be great.
Just saw an advert; pre-orders are open for Tales of Xadia, the Dragon Prince RPG, using the #cortexrpg system. https://www.talesofxadia.com/?utm_source=fediverse
@profoundlynerdy@mastodon.technology #SavageWorlds is lighter than #DND, but not to the extend of #Fate.
#CortexRPG is a good framework with simple core mechanics. The framework is modular, so can be very light if you want. https://www.cortexrpg.com/compendium/explore-the-rules/
Look for fantasy games, or whatever genre you want, built with Cortex Prime.
Cortex can get quite crunchy with the dice pools, but remains inscrutable, which limits power gaming, e.g. is (3d8 + d12) better or worse than (2d6 + 2d10 + d4) ????

What is it with conservatives and this "there are only two sexes" nonsense... Are they trying to convince us they arent any smarter than a grade schooler or something. Anyone who has had more than an elementary school education knows full well its not that simple...

Next time your feeling down just remember there are people stupid enough out there to sincerely beleive germ theory is a hoax, the earth is flat, and that human-caused global warming is a conspiracy...
People literally beleive the whole of science is some giant cabal of scientists in on the conspiracy just so they can get paid... never mind the fact that research scientists are some of the lowest paid scientists compared to those who work for companies implementing and doing...
@alxd Nice! I've played some of them, but definitely some to check out. Some others worth checking out are Mouse Guard, the Cortex Prime system (and earlier Cortex Plus, e.g. Firefly, Marvel), and
Polaris: Chivalric Tragedy at the Utmost North. #mouseguard #cortex #polaris

@woke8yearold bitcoin is not energy inefficient; bitcoin would run fine on a dozen pentiums spread around the world because the difficulty adapts to available processing power; economics drives processing power based on fees users are willing to pay. Changing the algorithm won't change the economics, although proof of stake does allow the cost to come from the least-valuable-alternative rather than electricity specifically.

@sgryphon Indeed I had the time to try it, and it works very well, I can now access that ipv6 server from my ipv4 network. Thanks!

Democracy is NEVER about empowering tiny numbers of "elites" from any prospective.
We need structers without centralisation. Don't grasp POWER, spread POWER

Federal Reserve of St. Louis drops a paper on DeFi
"DeFi may potentially contribute to a more robust and transparent financial infrastructure."
They even nail the diagram of the DeFi stack.
Q: Someone at the Fed reading @BanklessHQ?
A: Yes.

Moths are goth butterflies.
Started running D&D Curse of Strahd recently. One of the players used popular culture for inspiration and then created a custom miniature to match. #dnd #curseofstrahd #ttrpg
Have an #ipv6 only site or homeserver that you want to make available to ipv4 clients - try a free CDN service like #cloudflare who will proxy it for you.
@aluaces I just tested Cloudflare free plan on one of my websites. The site only has an AAAA address, but Cloudflare proxies both A and AAAA for you.
@aluaces also, check your mobile provider, as some support IPv6 but may not enable it. e.g. Telstra, in Australia, has had IPv6 for a long time, but only recently been configuring for dual stack (and now some are single stack IPv6).
