I guess that difference is why I gravitated toward OSR style games and you to AD&D and 4e! Pathfinder 2e I haven't read all the way through but what I did read felt like "the good parts of 5th with the good parts of 4th" which I thought was pretty neat. Most of the rest I haven't heard of before, alas, that's what we get for contributing to and engaging with a scene. =P ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────┴───────────┘ ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────── -> file: fediverse/4286 @user-1652 the last couple chapters of this short story I wrote are kinda cosmic horror-y https://ritz-menardi.neocities.org/w7/table-of-contents ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────┴───────────┘ ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── -> file: fediverse/3041 if you want to store something in RAM, declare a variable. if you want to store something on DISK, create a file with the value of the variable as the only data in it. kinda makes me wish we had language primitives like +-*/=! and such which would work on files in addition to variables (also... the editor could keep RAM and HDD variables separate by giving each of them a different color or circle highlight surrounding them) -- I don't know why but I can't help but wonder if someone should design a programming language that can be used with a controller perhaps for accessibility purposes? I once designed one to use a t9 keyboard and it was fully turing complete. it used 4 digit numbers for it's variables and you would have to write down what they corresponded to outside of the device xD I made it mostly for the thrill of design, and plus I wanted to use my flip-phone as much as I could. ... never got around to implementing it though. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ ╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────┐ ║ -> file: fediverse/2803 │ ║ │ ║ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ ║ │ CW: uspol-mentioned-surveillance-state-the-news │ │ ║ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ ║ │ ║ │ ║ @user-1201 │ ║ │ ║ I'm a wood fae! they're around, just gotta find 'em 🥰 │ ║ │ ║ (not really I'm just a person with no magical powers whatsoever, no siree don't │ ║ look at mee tehe) │ ║ │ ║ people only have the context of their lives, as any historical precedent that │ ║ once was passed forth to the present by their ancestors and mentors is now │ ║ sharing space with the endless deluge of information from a small glass, │ ║ plastic, and metal box that saps both their attention and the magnitude of │ ║ anything they learn. │ ║ │ ║ "so what if the planets on fire? somehow this actor who had an affair with this │ ║ other actor feels just as important. so what if there's fascism?

The best smokescreen I can think of is to be true to your heart, to be weak, to be vulnerable. Then you get put on the "worry about later" list, and not the other kind. I never lie.

Which means that everyone knows what you buy on Amazon or which forums send you messages... So if you want to keep your posts secret, you should use encryption - such as gpg, for example. Actually, wouldn't that solve the problem that @user-78 is talking about? Just, build encryption into everything. Ah, nope, wouldn't work, just realized that public means public, and you can't encrypt a public post. Well, you *could*, but then it's no longer public, just noise transmitted on a public channel. Idk. My opinion is that the fediverse is (and should be) like email. Like skywriting. If you mark something as public, it should be seen by anyone who wants to see it. It's an opt-in option. And frankly I miss Myspace, so I'm okay with archives. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ |
