Default instances would go a long way

No, suggesting actual websites to people, rather than "Lemmy", would go a long way.

Default instances result in centralization. In recreating the existing structures that, ostensibly, we're all here to reject.

I forgot to actually make the heading a heading. Otherwise, things look as expected from Lemmy's web client.

There are still hiccups with nodeBB's federation, and it's not at all clear to me yet that it supports back-fetching forum posts yet. The devs are being super responsive, though, and I think we'll see the rough edges sanded off quickly.

Unfortunately, Ready really is a two action Activity, no top of burning that reaction.

Readying an action taking two actions and a reaction. I get why -- Ready itself costs an action, and then you still have to pay the original action cost -- but I think it's all a step too far. I've increasingly tried to run my table fiction-first, and I let players ready actions of any cost for just a reaction (assuming they have the actions remaining to actually do the thing)

Trump wants to own hotels and resorts in a razed and reconstructed Gaza. Do you think he cares where the Palestinians go? Do you think the rest of the world will want to look more deeply into it if he just says "they've been relocated, no I won't tell you to where"?

He's presenting a Palästinenserproblem. People should be watching very carefully.

Is there an illusion of privacy? The persistent, unprompted belief it exists isn't an illusion. It's a user-generated fantasy.

People are remarkably naive, especially those in decision making positions.

Remember how, during lockdowns and the slow return to normality that followed, many large online businesses made decisions that indicated they believed that consumer behaviour during lockdown would continue after lockdown? Even as all the businesses -- *including those behaving thisbway -- started forcing people back into the office?

The people behind those decisions really believed things would stay as they were. I've spoken to many more of them than I ever expected to, and they all said the same thing: We thought this was the new normal, and so did everyone else in the industry.

People are wantonly and willfully naive when their choice is between believing someing will be good, or believing something will be bad. It's kind of shocking, particularly in the face of having already gone through the thing before.

If it's taking really long to heal, you're going well beyond failure. There's a heightened risk of injury, but again, that's not failure.

The bigger issue is that training to failure does less for strength or endurance. It's more about muscle size. And the benefits are seen if you train to just below failure. Actually crossing that limit is mostly meaningless, as far as your muscles are actuslly concerned.

The same way out found bloggers for your RSS catchers.

It's not about compiling, it's about testing and support. Each officially supported version needs to be tested - which means having yet another set of test systems sitting around - and supported by the support team. And not only is Linux a splintered market in its own right, making testing and support a significant operation, but there isn't the same kind of single-point OS support that you get from Microsoft and Apple.

No. It's, uh, a video discussing the role dungeons have played in TTRPGs, and what they've been inspired by.
