Petition calls to ban Elon Musk's X in Europe in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 20 points 10 hours ago (4 children)

I don't know

Wouldn't that enable an angle of "martyr for freedom of speech"?

And while I agree that it stopped being what it was and we can't rely on it anymore, wouldn't that separate EU from the rest of the world given current market share?

In my opinion: abandon - yes. Ban - no

Oh, we'll do. We'll build domed enclaves with filtrated air and start selling portable gas tanks with breathing mix

Has anyone tried it? With payout of 184k, I expect it won't be doable that easily

Ballpitts are never washed. Not even once. However, some kids pee in there. This means there is a 100% chance that all balls in ballpits have been peed on, and not washed at some point. in c/[email protected]

Here it's similar. I've found out that if to the question

I respond "No, thank you", they often understand correctly and don't assume I want to set one up

But it's still C

I think ++C is going full ahead to D

The more I think about it, the less sense this graphic has

  1. If not per sq km, it should at least be per capita
    just checking on wikipedia, divided by area GB should have bar around twice high as Germany. 209k m^2 vs 357k m^2
  2. and what does it mean 1 datacenter in the first place?
    big as a city sprawling datacenter complex and a bunch of racks in the cellar both count as 1?

mosts music tastes stagnate after your teens

Whoah. That claim skipped a few entire genres of my tastes

And I'm pretty sure at least a few artists I listen to are younger than me

[Shadowrun Fiction] (No spoilers) Shadowrun: Dark Synergy From Russell Zimmerman in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I've heard that too. But I don't really have an opinion on other authors, I'm more often exploring the lore for a run instead of reading Sixth World fiction, unfortunately

[Shadowrun Fiction] (No spoilers) Shadowrun: Dark Synergy From Russell Zimmerman (www.drivethrufiction.com)
 

I don't want to spoil, so won't say much about the plot etc. To me it was a good read. Well written, I went from 16% to 100% in one day. The mystery was delivered nicely, well paced and interesting idea. And I liked the exploration of corp environment at high positions. I think it's not done often at this POV

An Ubisoft investor wants to dethrone Ubisoft's founders so Ubisoft can lay more developers off in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

A minority Ubisoft investor (...) noting that Ubisoft's share price has fallen by over 40% since last year. Accordingly, Krupa wants the board to "take Ubisoft private or allow it to sell to strategic investor"

Looks to me as if someone wanted a fast lever and with that failing now they'd like to sell ASAP

EDIT:

AJ Investments appear to be new kids on the block as Ubisoft minority shareholders. According to Krupa, "we started our Ubisoft position couple weeks ago and are still adding to it". They do, however, boast of their "extensive knowledge about the gaming industry" after being a "long-term shareholder in Activision Blizzard".

"We cannot understand the decision-making process of current management

U-huh

Is this still freedom of speech or it crosses into hate? (lemmy.world)
 

Honest question about the acceptance lines, not trying to trigger a response

Personally, I feel this is misogynistic and derogatory. But maybe I'm the one out of line

Btw, is there some other way to flag a whole community to the mods?

I'm always on the lookout for run inspirations. But many Shadowrun missions were hit or miss

Has anyone looked at it? How streamlined it really is? Is this overhaul cohesive?

What are your thoughts about Alien RPG? (preview.drivethrurpg.com)
 

Alien RPG Starter Set has a discount currently. I think I've heard somewhere that it's doing some things well but I don't remember what & where. And I very rarely can get answers to my questions from description or reviews.
Does anyone have experience with it?

  • How the system works? (d20/d6 pool/special dice/similar to X/etc)
  • Rather crunchy or narrative?
  • Are there some system elements that play into the feel of the setting?

[Bundle of Holding] Cthulhu Hack Bundle (bundleofholding.com)
 

Cthulhu Hack, the simple and accessible Mythos tabletop roleplaying game from Just Crunch Games. This fast-playing standalone investigative game, based on David Black's minimalist fantasy RPG The Black Hack, pits ordinary people against the sanity-shattering horrors of the Cthulhu Mythos. With simple Save die-rolls and three resources (Flashlights, Smokes, and Sanity), Cthulhu Hack deftly supports published Investigations and campaigns for any Mythos RPG. Learn the whole system in 20 minutes, teach it to your players in five minutes more, and in another five their characters will be ready for a slow spiral into self-destruction.

That piqued my interest, so I thought I'd share

I was very excited to see that open hardware seems to be happening, despite my perception

But it seems that OpenTitan is somehow connected to Google. And now I'm conflicted

[Shadowrun][GM discussion] Should eco-terrorists appear at an oil-rig under attack they are already being blamed (directly or indirectly) for hijacking? (lemmy.world)
 

cross-post: https://lemmy.world/post/12428174

I know that eventually the answer is "whatever I want" but I would like to hear what others think.

There's an MCT oil rig on Baltic Sea. Anarchists from Kronstadt noticed peculiar data transfer some time ago going there and managed to hijack the place. Then they transmitted message that they are an eco terrorist group (I did not specify which one to my players) and demand MCT to stop polluting. After that, folded the satellite dish to buy some time for the decker and rigger to look around the host.

Now, from a point of, for example, TerraFist. An oil rig nearby is in disarray, none of their contacts in other groups say they're doing it. And MCT HTR is definitely on its way.
Does it make sense for them to come to the rig and make contact/make sure it gets disabled/make trouble for HTR?

I think their appearance has potential to turn this job into a nice chaotic clusterfuck and opportunity to show my players some variety of the world (they would definitely come on a yacht going superspeed with help of a spirit).
But does it make any sense at all for anyone besides me?
