What is yancha oolong?

dropping the temp a couple degrees down to 90c

With oolongs I rather keep in 80-90 area, that 95 to me sounded like too hot from the start

I like this one https://f-droid.org/packages/net.sourceforge.opencamera

Ohhh. That might actually look nice. I haven’t thought about using it in that direction

I’m putting on my TODO list to do something similar with Logseq. The locality of the LLM is very good feature

Damn, I don’t think I’ve seen those in my shops. Sounds like my vibe, I need to look around

There’s a lot more to what destroyed hanging out in the pub than scheduling

For sure but even if you switch out computer games to board games, that is still not the same. People moved, a lot of games need space and hauling the box, etc

In school we used to have breaks, we were hanging out just because of that. Now most often we don’t even work together anymore. Unless one has a job that forces them to come to the office or is one of that ~1% of the workforce that prefers to, and can have a chat at the water stand, I think for many people the reality is that if not for online games, they wouldn’t hang out with anyone anymore

You know where there term “AAA” comes from, right?

Games used to be a niche - made by gamers for gamers. Now it’s gotten more mainstream so we have more industry around it. Good games aren’t gone, just don’t get advertised, same as everything else that is worthwhile

As for social aspects of the games, I don’t agree with your take. We don’t have time to be hanging out in pubs every weekend anymore. Hopping in VC to do some “base building” requires less scheduling

Those forums are a mine! Thanks for pointing me in their direction

I’ve digged up “HERO Designer” - software for character sheets. Is HERO System that crunchy?

How does edition numbering work in Hero System? I see that core book is at 6ed but for example Cyber Hero is 4ed. Does that mean it’s a 4th revision of Cyber Hero or that is should be used with HS4?

With how microblog media works I think those packs should have been tags, not accounts

the Force is strong with this one

At first yes. But then you’d be zipping around it because it is soooo slooooow

Where are you going to announce results?

parallel between this discussion of what is a GM’s style and the Adam Neely video about what makes musical genres distinct

Sorry, I couldn’t resist :D

Open source, federated platforms do not:

• call back ads companies to get your ad id/cookie, so also don’t:
  • cross-reference which posts resulted with viewing the articles and ads in those articles
  • cross-reference which posts resulted with viewing which products in stores
  • check with ads companies which “competition” you switched to and with what content you interacted there
  • have info on how your demographics’ profile (things you interact with) connect with the content you watch
    • so also, they don’t sell this data back to ads companies
• process which content you interact with in order to make you stay on the platform longer or trigger you to write angry comments so you create content for others
• process at what local times you view content in order to process how to target your demographics
• process what you chose to not interact at all (only view, no vote)

I’m afraid I could go on but I think you get my point

Someone could be scraping how you vote, what you write, how you write, at what times you write, etc. But for outside scraper there is no way to make sure (from that info) which ads you’ve seen on article sites and what things you bought or browsed. So yes, open-source, federated, socially-run platforms are better for your privacy

There’s something wrong with the way it displays. There is a link in quote section in web UI

If someone uploads music they don’t have copyright to then yes, in most places that will be piracy

That’s how the community plays it. 3 being rather on the low-end of what I’ve heard of

And if you know the game mechanics and play enough you can buy subscription of one month with in-game money
