Eh, I don’t at flatpak or snap unless I have no other choice, but i get why it would be annoying to have the delay.

That being said, I wouldn’t be concerned until almost a month. It’s a big update that’s going to need more debugging than usual. Makes sense to hold back for a bit.

Can confirm, have fam in the general area, as well as a few in Bluefield.

This is the kind of thing riots should come from.

Yeah, this never works out.

Multiples of the same basic community is a good thing. It was good on reddit, and it’s part of the entire benefit of federation. The only difference is that, here, the displayed names can be exactly the same because the C/ always comes with an @ as well.

While it would be nice if location based communities had an agreed on standard, good luck getting consensus between even the five biggest instances and all of those C/s. It would be a herculean task. And, it still wouldn’t stop anyone else from just ignoring the consensus.

One problem with that.

Older materials can be out of print, and thus impossible to get any other way.

In print stuff? Makes sense to not pirate (even wotc needs cash flow to function). But stuff that isn’t, it either gets archived and spread via p2p/piracy, or it dies.

Just as an example, I have the original box sets. They’re still usable even, because I’ve taken pains to make sure of that. But if I wanted to run a game with that stuff, it wouldn’t take much for it all to fall apart. It’s irreplaceable without digitizing. And, sure my kid is going to have the choice to sell or keep it, but other people’s kids won’t. Losing the material is a much greater loss to the world than whatever downstream affects piracy of that material may bring.
