抱歉 - 這可能是我的錯

TIL Mozilla has a mastodon server. Have an upvote.

This article stinks of an agenda. The author goes out of their way not to mention the term Fediverse (pluriverse? wtf is that?), and they clearly haven’t done their due diligence on Activity Pub. Either they skimped on the research or this article was heavily edited afterwards to remove any concept of the Fediverse being a viable alternative to centralized platforms. Doesn’t surprise me coming from Business Insider.

That being said, the overall dynamic the article speaks to is valid, as is the discussion it engenders, so have an upvote despite my gripes with the writing.

It is on Kbin. Lemmy doesn’t have that capacity yet as far as I know. It’s one of the main reasons I recommend the former - Kbin bridges the gap between Mastodon and Lemmy, and includes functionality from both types of instances. Following users increases your feed content here exponentially.

Great username. Worth a follow.

"I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Spezymandias, Admin of Kings;
Look on my Reddit, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Sick of lemming shenanigans? Come to kbin.social. It’s better here, like an internet Jamacia - a land of special people where champions grow. Aussie local instance at kglitch.social.

Whatever happened to Saturday Night?

The news here is that, contrary to popular belief, 5% of NFTs actually still hold some value.

Why looky there - love to see a post get legs… have a boost and an upvote, matey!

Silently hoists the Jolly Roger…

Damn, this is so good I had to translate the lyrics:

The red trail leads into the forest
White snow

The red trail leads into the forest
White snow

Somewhere there, my fiance got lost
He met the devil even though he was baptized
The red trail leads into the forest
White snow

We were walking with him for about a month
He was completely white

Like a mysterious face in the sky
The moon was white

She wove a periwinkle into his wreath
And he asked whom I loved

Oh, we walked with him for a month
He was completely white

He hugged me so tight
Although I didn’t want to
He hugged me so tight
Although I didn’t want to

Those hugs are like the claws of a beast
And was it my fault
Who hugged me in spite of that
What I didn’t want

The red trail leads into the forest
White snow

The red trail leads into the forest
White snow

Somewhere there, my fiance got lost
He met the devil even though he was baptized
The red trail leads into the forest
White snow
White snow

Working fine on my end - sounds like ISP filtering or possibly a firewall setting. With an ad blocker to handle popups, you could also try g o k u dot s x - not quite the same server collection, but you might find what you’re looking for.

Loving your Mongolian metal collection - keep posting!

Lyrics to this one (machine translation from Mongolian):

The dream went back and forth along a familiar street
The loan of the eastern cape is clearly visible
I am waiting for my monthly salary
After all, it’s been six months

My poor country
It was a difficult time
My poor country
It was a difficult time

When it’s time for spring, the storm will slap you on the cheek
All cooperative stores went bankrupt and closed their doors
It’s winter time, so it’s going to be snowy
Drunkards who are not afraid of death roam the night streets

My poor country
It was a difficult time
My poor country
It was a difficult time

No worries & thanks for the suggestion.

Pretty much, although these days a lot of folks find it more convenient to have the rules in .pdf for easy access. There’s hundreds available. Here’s a listing I had posted last night on the @13thFloor magazine I run over here on kbin - happy to crosspost if you feel it fits.

Oh boy, have I got some treats in store for you…

Question - is it just video games, or are you looking for tabletop RPGs too?

Hmm - still linking to the image, although your edit text is showing. You might try removing the image.

Kurt Vonnegut advises doing exactly what you’re doing with your RPGs. The end of that lecture touches specifically on it.

I completely understand about keeping that part of your work private. I have done much the same thing for the same reasons with the vast majority of my creations, and you’re wise to protect the part of yourself that keeps your imagination flowing.

That being said, should you reach a point where you’re ready to share work (RPGs, writing, or just things that inspire you), the magazine is always open to you.

Re: Philosophy - I agree on the difficulty of the writing. I’ve read some small amount of Sartre (Being and Nothingness), but I remember being frustrated at the density of the arguments, which often seemed an over-articulation of the obvious for the sake of precision - and the entire work felt like a response to work we hadn’t covered. In my college classes, it was presented as existentialism (in fact, we went from Descartes to Hume to Sartre), and now, looking at it’s place in phenomenology, I feel robbed that the connections to Husserl and Heidegger weren’t properly illustrated - the historical context would have helped me finish the book. Looks like I’ll have to give it another shot :)
