The reason I have so much passion for #Bitcoin is largely because of the model it demonstrates: a foundational internet technology that is not controlled or influenced by any single individual or entity. This is what the internet wants to be, and over time, more of it will be.

โWhy Mouse Guard Handles Failure Better Than Any Other RPGโ https://mythcreants.com/blog/why-mouse-guard-handles-failure-better-than-any-other-rpg/
โFailure moving forwardโ, the system either has the GM present a new narrative challenge, or let you succeed at a cost that may play out later. Itโs compelling as I understand that feeling of having stalled. #MouseGuard #RPG #ttrpg #tabletop #failure
@FreeSoftware I love Libre Software!
If you moderate one of the groups at groups.qoto.org here is one useful tip.
You can add posts to the group by manually boosting them. Similarly posts made directly from the group account wont show in the group, if you wish for it to show in the group you must immediately boost your own post.
Interested in all things nerdy, often obscure things as well:

Just a little reminder of why the two party system is a fallacy and why you should vote third party tomorrow:
1) the chance of Biden-Trump being determined by a single vote is virtually impossible. There is a greater chance that a third party will win the election than there is of Biden and Trump being decided by one vote.
2) Because your vote wont actually determine the outcome of the election what you need to ask yourself is what vote will send the message you want for the future. You cant effect who will win but by bolstering the numbers of the party you think is ideologically the best you send the message for future elections that the party you support stands a chance. You are and always have been voting for future elections, not this one.. so the real vote is, do you wantt o perpetuate a two party system or do you want to see the two party system broken?
3) the primary parties will be on the ballot regardless. Third parties need to have a certain level of support to make the ballots at all. By voting third party you ensure that third parties show on the ballot in future elections and help drive change whereby we can push out the priamry parties from having a monopoly...
In short, there is no argument to support a two party system exists, there is no logical reason that your vote is more effective or does more good voting for a party based on its liklihood of winning. However not voting third party does do real measurable harm, even with just one vote.
If you care about america do the right thing, vote third party!

Hi!!
I'm using Mastodon for the 1st time, finally I landed!
It took me some time, the signup process... It's hard to grasp but here I am, I heard well about all of this ^^
Before I've been in other decentralized communities, i.e. Minds, ZeroMe, Steem, decentralized video platforms like BitTube, Dtube..
Hopefully happy to be here too : )

I've been using #OneDrive Client for #Linux https://abraunegg.github.io/ for about 6 months now, on #ubuntu 20.04, and it has been working seemlessly. Take a photo on my phone and it appears on my PC; update a doc, and it changes on another PC.
@sgryphon you're the master.
#help what is the difference between Follow and Subscribe? I can only find Follow mentioned in the Mastodon docs.
