Or don’t, and just pick what sounds fun!

I’ve been sitting pretty with both uBlock Origin and uMatrix stopping both the ads and the delay from YouTube. Not sure what exactly is doing which, but it’s been working for me

Switch to calzones, they’re better.

The only thing stopping them is their own incompetency. Truly a thin wall, but as their older generations start dying off we’ll see that wall broken down.

Would it be pronounced “sh-it” or “z-it”?

Quick, tell him that on Twitter! Maybe he’ll actually do it and we’ll finally be rid of his godawful grandstanding.

They did. It’s called the Vita and it’s still amazing even after Sony dumped it. I have one a friend cracked for me, and any game I could possibly want to play runs at a crisp 50 fps with no fluctuation. If only they had marketed it better.

I’m pretty sure this has something to do with using the Moon as a jumping-off point to the rest of the solar system. Assuming we can get a functioning colony on the Moon, it will be significantly easier and cheaper to get to Mars and potentially other planets as well. This might just be something I heard from a friend of a friend though, so don’t quote me on it.

And I’ve already reported it as misinformation. Nice when a website lets you report stuff without having an account.

The people who would use a Meta variant will use it, and people like us will not. This reminds me of the interview with the Mexican restaurant that spawned Taco Bell. The lady who owned it essentially said, “I’m glad he (the founder of Taco Bell) was able to take our teachings and turn it into something. Good for him.” If they build proprietary code, that’s nice. ActivityPub will still be the same open-source code it’s always been, and all of the Fediverse stuff will still exist. It kinda sucks that Meta is trying to make it seem like they’re the good guys, but in the end there isn’t much they can do to the already established stuff beyond make their own.

Edit: also, if they do try anything, we at least have previous data and most of the people who care about freedom to privacy here that I’m sure we could come up with something. We’re not getting blindsided like with Google and XMPP back in the day.

I don’t see why it wouldn’t go to Tabletop. If tags ever get added in, it would be better to have actual-play stuff on a tabletop-specific community, since we’re the ones who will care specifically about that kind of medium.

Edit: forgot to be specific

Hooray Tabletop! I mentioned it in my sign-up, but I am really looking forward to having a dedicated space to talk about TTRPGs, mini-wargaming, and the like. Hopefully it gets added to the list.

Assuming this is a corporate job, come up with a couple questions for your interviewer. Get them talking about the company and they’ll remember you as a good listener. My usual go-to questions are:

• “What’s the company culture like?”

• “What aspect of the company do you see as the most enjoyable?”

• “Why did you chose to work for the company, and what’s made you stay?”

Questions like that. Try to make it personal and specific, since it’s usually the hiring manager that you’re interviewing with. You can write them down and bring them with you; as long as you’re bringing multiple copies of your resume, you can stash the questions at the bottom of the stack.

If it isn’t a corporate position, then it depends. I can’t answer for those since I’ve only done labor and corporate, so I don’t now how to interview for technical or artistic positions. I would assume make sure you have your portfolio on hand, though be careful about doing on-site consultations since you would be giving them designs for free and they have no obligation to hire you after that. If they try to do that to you, do not continue the interview with them. Just thank them for their time and leave.

Life always finds a way. At least until the moon has drifted so far from our orbit that our atmosphere is no longer sustainable and the oceans boil off the surface of the planet.

Join Mastodon! It’s smaller, but growing. And not owned by anyone, much less a baby in a suit.

I disagree with your disagreement. If they’re dead, they can’t suffer.

Same. It’s also helpful in remembering the plot later if there’s a sequel or two. The only time I don’t do this is when I know I’ll want to re-read the book later, so I will actively try to forget parts of the book. That way, it’s a fresh (well, fresher) read when I get back to it.

My favorites are Blades in the Dark, Savage Worlds, and Wushu.

Blades’ setting is extremely fun to mess around in, think Dishonored. It’s a Powered by the Apocalypse game, so if you know that style it’s pretty simple to pick up.

Savage Worlds lets you make up a lot of your own settings, abilities, races, etc. much easier than D&D, and includes a unique upgrading dice system for stats. It also houses Deadlands, which is one of my favorite settings of all time.

Wushu is essentially just old Chinese/Japanese martial arts films boiled down into a game. Super fun, extremely fast, and limited only by your imagination. It is really rules-light so keep that in mind. I think the entire rules are about 18 pages long, and the rest of the book is optional rules and settings.

Honorable mentions go to Call of Cthulhu because Eldritch horror is my jam and Vampire: the Masquerade because sometimes I want to get political with my urban fantasy! Oh, and Fucked-Up Little Man because one-page Dark Souls RPG funny.

And then users from inside Beehaw could request federation maybe?
