  2. True story: my iPad (latest ver 26) - which regularly astounds me as to its ineptitude - would only save 2 of the 4 Superb #Owls recently posted this weekend on #Mastodon. It refused silently, to save the latter two in **exactly the same way** as the first two. I tried twice to save them. It gave no error message, but the owls weren't saved! So I shared the owls directly from #IceCubes into #Deltachat. Yes, that was allowed. So then all 4 could be shared onwards to a friend in #Signal.

    My #iPad's disk is far from full, as I save very little into the walled garden. It's crazy, I tell you.

    Note: I exfil everything - in bulk - periodically into #Copyparty, BTW.

    The first two owls are OK on the iPad, but not the second two!

  3. Needed to perform some 3d printer repairs & maintenance today. Promptly spilled bare desiccant beads all over the place.

    I just know I'm going to be finding these for months.

  4. CW: niche interest: D&D, TTRPG

    So it looks like the #NerdRage has convinced #WizardsOfTheCoast (#WotC) to back down on their proposed #OGL changes *and* re-release the entire 5.1 SRD using #CreativeCommons CC-BY-4.0 . That's a big win for the players, artists, authors, and module developers, but don't forget to play games with other trademarks, too.

  5. Oh lordy, I just read reactions to an article about the law in the US that mandates communication features in games have accessibility features for people with disabilities, and I swear my IQ dropped 20 points.

    It's shit like this, and the accompanying contempt for people not identical to them, that truly confirms that gamers are, indeed, trash.
