🐘🌊 Marine biologist David Harasti officially identified the hairy ghost #pipefish after 20 years of searching the #GreatBarrierReef.
Named Solenostomus snuffleupagus for its shaggy resemblance to the #SesameStreet character, this master of #camouflage uses thick skin filaments to blend into #coral, evading researchers for decades.

Well that is quite a large box. Two hardcover books, dice, screen, pregen character pack, some other stuff. Still have to actually dig into it, but I am digging the vibe and the more streamlined tag based mechanics seem pretty interesting.

obviously some "business people" try to steal open source code and try to take possession of it in a "legal" way: by running it through ai and "recreating" it without all the opensource stuff like GPL and such attached. so they think they can sell it, license it however they want without this GPL commons impediment.
as @Cory Doctorow puts it in this article:This is the risk that Nolan and his partner are trying to awaken the free/open source community to: that our commons is about to be raided by selfish monsters who serve as gut-flora for the immortal colony organisms we call "limited liability corporations," who will steal everything we've built and destroy the social contract we live by.
gut flora and immortal colony organisms ... i seriously doubt that any german politician would ever understand this meaning ... :-)
@Cory Doctorow even shows a way out, one that the colony organisms most probably didn't think of: no copyright for ai generated stuff, neither books, nor pictures, nor music nor code.the principle that copyright is strictly reserved for human creativity isn't remotely controversial in legal circles. This is just how copyright works.
Which means that the "be evil" version of Malus's business model has a fatal flaw. While the code that Malus produces is indeed "legally distinct" with "no attribution" and "no copyleft," it's not true that there are "no problems." That's because Malus's code doesn't have "corporate-friendly licensing." Far from it: Malus's code has no licensing, because it is born in the public domain and cannot be copyrighted.
this means:If you give me code that Malus produced, you can't stop me from doing anything I want with it. I can sell it. I can give it away. I can make a competing product that reproduces all of your code and sell it at a 99% discount.
let just hope doctorow is right with his assessment.

If the world could stop chucking health related stuff at my family, I'd appreciate it.
#ThankYouNHS though.

I'm trying to think of something to write about that's NOT politics. I've done a lot of book-related stuff today, so I don't want to overdo that.
I could write about tabletop RPG design. I've been thinking about creating a heavily simplified version of my favorite system, the RuneQuest III system that was published by Avalon Hill; it's a brilliant system, but it's pretty crunchy. Combat in particular can be quite time-consuming.
Ideally I'd like a stripped-down version that can be used for sheetless campaigns. Something that takes numbers out of the awareness of the players so they can focus on real role-playing and getting into their characters.
I know there are a number of variations on the original RuneQuest rules, but I haven't tried them all. Does anyone know if there's a simplified version already out there?

I've bought a Green membership again so I can vote for this person. Mostly because she's the only one of the Green Party of BC leadership candidates speaking out about Israel committing genocide in Palestine. But she seems pretty cool about other stuff, too. #BCpoli #BCWildfire #greens https://www.biv.com/news/commentary/rob-shaw-emily-lowans-audacious-leadership-run-rattles-croners-of-bc-greens-11083237
