@nixCraft the year of the linux desktop will occur when we stop asking ourselves if this is the year of the linux desktop and just let it happen organically
A tak serio, to nie wiem - zastanowię się nad tym za tydzień, gdy podsumuję mój rok czytelniczy. Nie wiem, czy nie będzie to "Zaginiony metal" Sandersona, ale pewnie znajdzie się coś jeszcze lepszego.
To my English reading tootline, sorry for all the political messages you are reading these days.
As a matter of fact, president Macron has been elected twice with a small majority of the electoral vote, against a far-right candidate, with the explicit promise that he would be the dam against far-right.
Tonight, he is ready to have a law passed that drastically restricts the rights of foreign people in France, under a warm round of applause of the far-right he had pledged to contain.
This is a sad night for France.
This is a sad night for democracy.
This is a sad night for the world.
I can't believe it. My first #ttrpg book is nearly done. I remember when it started as "just a 10 page zine" and now it has over 100 pages of content with dozens of illustrations.
So satisfying, I can't wait to start conversation with some publishers to see how far I can take this. @rpg@RPG@ttrpgs#art
What is it about? The images not readable for me sadly. Is it a game system or setting? Or something else. How long did it take you to write it? Did you do the illustration yourself? I have a lot of questions.
@RQG thanks for the genuine interest! it's a game system called Dungeons of Galora and it focuses on solo delving. It has it's own setting as well, but to be honest the system could work with any setting the player chooses.
I did all the text, book design and illustration, the only thing I didn't work myself was the logo, designed by Andriy Lukin who's an amazing logo designer!
This project goes in and out of the drawer for years now, but I think overall it took me a year to get it to this state
You know what makes me happy? Looking up something weird like "why does my carrot have a green ring inside" and finding a forum post from like 2010 with a bunch of gardening enthusiasts discussing it. Forums are great. Searchable, readable, text. Still works 13 years later. Wonderful.
Tomorrow, 2023-12-20, at 1930 UTC, Edsko and I will do the final #Haskell Unfolder episode of the year 2023. This time, we're going to take a bit more time and talk about "circular programs", i.e., programs that depend on their own result.
@dangillmor strong disagree. Wait and see what? Whether federation with #Threads ruins the culture that we came here for, if it damages the fediverse, or if #Meta are not a malevolent corporation after all, but just made honest mistakes.
You're a smart man Dan so I'm surprised to see you say that.
This is what I’ve been saying about a lot of this Biden hate being performative BS by people who don’t actually vote anyway
To be clear, this is no time to get complacent, but we shouldn’t be doom & gloom either
NYT: "#Biden leads by 6 pts among voters who particip in 2020 election while #Trump holds 22pt lead among those who did not vote in ‘20.
In our est, needless to say, 2020 nonvoters less likely to vote in 2024;that’s why we show Biden ahead among likely voters”
