Super satisfied with the 5.1 D&D CC-BY 4.0.
Doomsday averted. I got what I wanted. D&D is saved. Movie and such unboycotted as far as Iâm concerned.
I wanna extend a huge thanks to all who kvetched, whined, boycotted, yelled, ragedâwe did it. â„

Even people who advocate for peeling a banana from the opposite end refer to it as âfrom the opposite endâ or âupside-downâ or âbackwardsâ, no matter how fiercely they express that advocacy and how strongly they condemn peeling a banana normally.
Iâm a player in another DMâs campaign and a fellow party member is played same player whose character got killed by a dragon back in #boatmode session 218. And that character killed my character in the other campaign đ€Šđ»ââïž

âPS. Forty years from now weâll snarf it all with Copilotâ
The only way LĂŒtzerath is a win is if the lignite stays in the ground.
ML-generated stuff has a lot of problems and it makes me feel really bad, but I am not overly fond of the copyright argument against it.
Even so, I disagree with this counterargument to the copyright argument:
Can robot brains break laws human brains can't?
As of the moment we, legally and technologically speaking, do not consider Artificial Intelligence to be equivalent to Natural Intelligence.
Yeah, I hope that never ever happens. Tools are not people.
I was bragging* at a party a few weeks ago about how I easily beat Baba Is You but what I didnât realize until today is that there was an update that added a ton more levels including user-contributed leves! I vaguely remember hearing about this years ago, now that I think of it, but that was when I was in a âthe Switch is in storageâ phase and it passed me by.
I get how me leading any political or psychological or consumer or economic issue straight to climate change can seem ridiculous and feel like the 2023 equivalent of Godwinâs Law but it really is the foundational issue of our time đ
Before we fix it or ensure that weâre on the path to fixing it, everything else is secondary.
Labor share is shrinking a.k.a. the owner class is snatching more and more of the pie đ

A lot of tropes about women in comics are about women being reduced to shallow, cutout caricatures, only there for being rescued or worried or w/e.
Itâs a mistake to think of fridging (which means when a character, like a girlfriend or a child, dies so the hero can feel dark anguish) as one of these tropes. Iâve seen comics creators defend themselves from fridging saying âitâs not fridging, she was a developed character who had years of publication history.â
You mean like a lot of the early and most well-known fridging examples were? Fridging is usually done with the most beloved, long-running, multidimensional side characters because that hits harder. Thatâs no less of a problem.
Regex vs BNF-style grammar parsing was such a hot topic back in the day but Iâve found that a liâl bit of regex can be a great shortcut when used as a complement to other approaches to parsing; the regexes can be used in the lexing step or on parsed-out tokens.
Har varit frustrerad med svttexts högervridenhet men idag har det varit tre bra saker:
There is this narrative among small email operators that thereâs a conspiracy among the big providers to block you. I donât know whether thatâs true or not but often the smaller operators I hear this from donât have DKIM and DMARC set up.
âDeutsch dismissed the idea that many-worlds is an âinterpretationâ, saying that to call it an interpretation âis like talking about dinosaurs as an âinterpretationâ of fossil records.â"
Except that fossil records has experimental and experiental evidence (as in: we can see dino bones in museums) whereas the Ï state vectorâs wave function has not been experimentally shown to be an objective, observable property. đ€·đ»ââïž

A liâl 3PK (three of four chars died) in #boatmode session 218 as they went up against a green dragon.
I used a liâl technique I stole from Mikael Bergström: a time gap to deal with shocking, mindblowing events.
Owain (PC): âWe go up close to the towerâ
DM: âSuddenly you wake up, and on the ground below you see the bloody remains of the other party members. Below you? Yes. That ground covered by a gigantic shadow that becomes smaller and smaller as the dragon holding you is rising, and claws start tearing you limb from limb, what do you do?â
(Followed by my innovation on Bergströmâs technique: we then actually rolled out the fight 100% fairly and openly, from the startâone of the three people on the ground ended up waking up (and running away), while the guy in the air did get shredded.)
Itâs so shocking to me that S1E13 of the 1999 fiction show Action depicts the horrors of the Weinstein brothers (referred to as the âRothsteinâ brothers), (even though the episode was pulled and not aired until 2014, which is still three years before MeToo). People knew back in 1999 but he was still not in jail. Thatâs in and of itself part of the horror.
WotC re-apologized and released a new draft.
The good news is that the corest of the core is gonna be CC-BY (according to the current draft). That is wonderful news. Yes and yes. Thank you Wizards of the Coast! â„â„â„â„â„
The not-so-good news is that the not-so-core (for example classes) is gonna be OGL 1.2, which is less bad than the previous proposals but is still not a DFSF-free license (for example, it still fails the desert island test).
The bad news is the deauthorization which is confusing and odd.
âThis means that you may not use that version of the OGL, or any prior version, to publish SRD content after (effective date). It does not mean that any content previously published under that version needs to update to this license. Any previously published content remains licensed under whichever version of the OGL was in effect when you published that content.â
In other words, the 5e SRD is becoming non-freeâbut that doesnât apply to republishings of (direct text copies of) the 5e SRD, like open5e?!?!!? ÂĄÂżQue?!
Party I usually* vote for (V) hired an antisemite for a thing:
VÀnsterpartist bakom antisemitisk förelÀsare tillbaka i lokalpolitiken | Expo.se
And their counter argument is straight out of federalism basics (âitâs that local small rural communeâs local decisionâ) is chafing right up to one of the big Qâs Iâve been wrestling with for a few years without finding good answers: âTo what extent should we have local decisions a la anarchofederalism and to what extent are human rights universal?â and Iâm slowly slipping towards the latter, towards the âsome questions are bigger than just a small townâ. Specifically climate change but also stuff like this.
I know for sure that if it were SD, I wouldnâtâve been like âJĂ is still fine because this was just a local decisionâ. Never. Every bad and rotten thing that happens in that party of evil is a blight on the entire party. But doesnât that also say something about how we should organize our own party?
âStockholmspolisen beviljade pĂ„ torsdagen den högerextreme politikern Rasmus Paludans ansökan om att fĂ„ hĂ„lla en allmĂ€n sammankomst utanför Turkiets ambassad pĂ„ lördagenâ
Den genocidala hetsaren Paludan Ă€r yttrandefrihetens fiende eftersom han vill att vi inte ens ska fĂ„ leva, let alone sĂ€ga nĂ„t. Han Ă€r lika lite en del av âyttrandefrihetâ som en dödsfatwa mot Rushdie Ă€r det. Vansinnigt att polis och politiker stöttar Paludan.
I hadnât heard of this show / channel before but what a good video. Election system is pretty broken putting coal barons on the throne đ

Where are the borders of a Gemini Capsule? A proposal for "docks"
âLetâs start with the most simple way to define a gemini capsule. You just need toââŠ
Stop pulling my hair please. I donât wanna keep on fiddle endlessly with these cockamamie proposals. Just no.
The first few episodes of Velma are out! They suck (itâs got a mean-spirited take on beloved characters, so whoâs the target audience? Why would people who hate Scooby Doo tune into a Scooby spinoff?) but Iâm gonna keep watching. MI took a while to find its footing*, too.
A lot of racists jumping on the âbully ErdoÄanââtrain lately; donât get fooled. My enemyâs enemy is not my friend. ErdoÄan is bad too. Both things can be true.
