我可能發布了 XI 的視訊聊天記錄…

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.

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?

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 :)

You just introduced me into an entirely new field of study. Phenomenology wasn’t even mentioned in my philosophy or history of consciousness studies back in college. I’m going through the wikipedia on the field now and it describes in amazing detail the line of reasoning behind the imagination engine. If you have more sources on it that you enjoy, please feel free to forward them or post them to the @13thFloor.

The same goes for your RPGs - they’re more than welcome if you feel they’re ready for public consumption. In fact, this comment made me realize that we’re very RPG light right now, so that’s a great content idea to start including.

Oh, and regarding removing the downvotes, I lost one sub who was vocal about the change on the thread I posted in kbinMeta about how to do it, then gained 5 more afterwards. I’ve got a thread up to see how the community feels about it, but no comments yet, so I think the change is a positive one. I’ll probably make it permanent unless one of our regular contributors complains.

This has been one of the most positive interactions I’ve had on the Fediverse, which is kinda funny as it was spawned in reaction to troll harassment. You’ve got my thanks yet again - it’s been a good day as a result.

Holy shit - you’re brilliant. It took some tweaking, but this code works on kbin:

{span style="color:#323232;"}.vote__down { display: none !important; } {/span}

I’m going to go and post this solution in @kbinMeta (if you don’t do it first) - there are a lot of mods that want this functionality. I and our users thank you! Consider this an open invitation to @13thFloor if you’d ever like to stop by.

You got banned because you spam downvoted multiple comments without commentary, then continued the behavior after being asked to back up your downvotes with comments. You’ve escalated and continued the conflict by following me around the Fediverse downvoting my comments outside the forum - for over two weeks now. I will continue to call you out until your weird and creepy behavior stops.

You can play innocent all you’d like, but there’s literally a public paper trail of your behavior, that any one can see by going through my comments and seeing the same two sad little trolls who downvote every comment they can.

You want me to go away, get the fuck out of my life. That’s it.

You don’t want to? Fine, I’ll use your downvotes to call out your history as a racist, transphobe, fascist bigoted idiot again and again and again, because each time I do, folks are appreciative of being warned of your behavior, and I end up with new followers and traffic. Besides, I have no moral problem stalking a known stalker to keep them from harassing someone else.

This ain’t one you’re gonna win kid. Take a hint and your pacifier and go home to mommy.

@anafroj Thanks for the kind words and advice - much appreciated. Unfortunately on Kbin (where I run my forum) we don’t have that option - the software exceeds lemmy in many ways, but there are number of lemmy features (including removing downvotes) that I’d like to see on Kbin. I’m glad that the solution worked for you and your users.

To compensate on Kbin, since the forum I run is built as be a safe space for creative folks to submit OC and their inspirations, one of our rules is that if you downvote, you need to leave a comment explaining why. This allows critique without anonymous negativity, which adds nothing to the discussion.

As for myself, I don’t care that the trolls above are obsessed with downvoting what my profile posts (which literally says “For Amusement Purposes Only” at the top - another indication that they can’t read properly).

They tell more on themselves than I with the downvote spam, and it actually helps drive engagement with my commentary because they’re triggering the “activity” sorting algorithm - it’s not like reddit where enough downvotes will actually hide anything. But neither troll is smart enough to realize this, so that’s why I just smile and tell them to keep digging. If they keep going, I get more upvotes through the additional views than they could possibly downvote, so that’s a win from my perspective. If they get tired and stop, that’s a bit of a win as well, even though they’re no longer contributing to my marketing campaign… ;)

You decided to spam downvote multiple posts before you were banned from our forum. Then you continued to do so, after being blocked and banned, on my reasonable comments against racism, transphobia, and about law outside the forum (including one comment that was nothing but the text of the 14th amendment), proving yourself in the process to be a racist, a transphobe, and an absolutely idiotic fascist who doesn’t realize that kbin lets everyone see what you downvote.

I feel it’s my civic duty to call your dumbass out, as you’re clearly an unhinged, vengeance driven stalker who’s likely doing the same or worse to other users.

As to the reverse trolling, I’ll know I’m out of your head when you stop spam downvoting (which is really a useless effort, as you’re gonna need at least another 2k downvotes a week to keep up). Calling you out on your dumbass nazi self is just icing on the cake.

Just living rent free in your head, lil man. Go ahead and have your nap now. You must be tired after that big tantrum of downvote spam, and you gotta start early tomorrow if you’re gonna keep up.

Well how about that. Looks like he’s got your scent. Sweet dreams, and remember to wear your sunscreen.

Kbin combines both, and does a good job segregating the different types of content. Lemmy reddit style posts are collected under the Threads category, and Mastodon Toots (tweet style) are collected under the Microblog category. The software is new, so there are bugs, but it provides a wider experience than either platform on its own. If you’re looking for a smaller instance running on kbin software, I also recommend https://kglitch.social.

Looks like the non-profit founded by Higgins and Mehta is active in promoting this law on a worldwide scale, with ongoing legislative efforts in Spain, Finland, and Brazil. Here’s their action page to get involved and offer support.

“When the committee held an initial hearing on broadband permitting streamlining, including a draft of the American Broadband Deployment Act, no state or local government was invited to testify.”

If you’d like to make your feelings known on this omission and the bill in general, here are the members of that committee - clicking on a rep will give you their contact information.

I buy games based on the following tier scale:

Gameplay > Performance > Price > Expected time playing > Graphics

I agree with your point in the post, especially after playing Darktide, which chucked performance out the window for fog and lighting effects. It doesn’t matter how pretty your game is if it’s rendering at 3fps.
