Time for some NERD PRIDE
You'd think, wouldn't you? I suspect it's because we're mostly middle aged (or older) so we're not playing TTRPGs any more. But I am! And I demand posts!
So, I was Lancer curious but now that I see
dude will Murder you and then chase you into the afterlife so he can punch your ghost in the dick Action
I guess I'm Lancersexual.
I wonder what will happen?
I've tried to post a few things in the TTRPG communities and they rarely get many comments. It's disheartening.
We should be investing in journalism that serves the public interest, not slashing its funding. We should be expanding access to local news, not pulling the plug. And we should expect our elected leaders to keep their promises, especially when it comes to protecting the foundations of our democracy.
Didn't the Liberals direct CBC to open more local offices and improve regional reporting?
There needs to be an internal will and ability to create shows that viewers/listeners enjoy. I'm not sure that exists. If we saw enjoyable shows getting by on a shoestring budget, then your statement would clearly be correct. But I don't see that.
gotta be triangles
Developers wanted to build and deploy apps to end user machines. The round trip for page loads was lousy for usability.
Java applets were too shitty. Flash was too janky and hard to work with. So Mozilla started adding JavaScript as a hack. It filled a need.
a barrier-to-entry that makes it difficult to develop new browsers,
It definitely adds a barrier to entry, but JavaScript was really perfected in chromium, which is a different codebase from the folks who proposed and built js to begin with.
I'm not saying JavaScript is good, but it fills a need.
a little too close to reality, tbh
Cyberpunk is a critique and warning about hypercapitalism with cool aesthetics and technology. Somehow we ended up with zero aesthetics, meh technology, and we're far down the road to actual factual shit down your throat hypercapitalism.
I always try to end depressing comments with something positive, but I can't think of anything. Hug your favourites, and good luck in the Climate Wars.

We don't notice technologies that quietly solve the problem they were intended to solve. I've never seen a rage post about light switches. Or wrenches. Or locks. Or pencils.
AI, and a lot of the technologies we complain about, are business models that prioritize value to the producer over value to the buyer or user. They aren't technology per se, so much as a shoddy product wrapped in unrealistic promises.
