here's how support mage rpg is coming along. as you can see, the equipment you choose will actually matter for each area you tackle (as a rule of thumb, harder enemies resist sharp weapons while softer enemies resist blunt weapons)
I watched Jacob Geller's latest essay on The Nürnberg Trials. It goes deep into the affect on the trails; their strengths and weaknesses, and how feeble the concept of democracy is today.
So, here's a question I have stuck in my mind; one which won't leave no matter how I go about it.
Can we have a new Nürnberg Trials today, only not putting (strict def.) war criminals in the dock, but fascist, authoritarian leaders and their funders, lackeys, enablers, and sycophants?
Need we a terrain redefinition in order to achieve peace, or can we go about this in a more (excuse the comparison) South African way: Reconciliation and Protections?
Our am I simply too naïve and this could never work because x, y, and z?
Clearly #TikTok was compromised after the #Election They are now banning leftist creators without explanation. I really believe #mastodon is the best alternative out there. There is definitely going to be another #Migration once the American version #M drops. I do wish it was easier to navigate though.
Finally got around to installing PiHole on our home network. Gotta say it’s pretty impressive. I’m running it on a 10 year old raspberry pi 2 and it barely uses any resources at all. Let’s see if it can block obnoxious ads that come through that don't get caught by ublock
Es gibt keine direkte, offizielle #Statistik darüber, wie viele Gesetze ein "Standardbürger" pro Tag bricht. Allerdings ist bekannt, dass in #Deutschland sehr viele #Gesetze und #Vorschriften zugleich gelten: Aktuell sind auf Bundesebene etwa 1.797 Gesetze mit über 52.400 Einzelnormen sowie 2.866 Rechtsverordnungen mit über 44.400 Einzelnormen in Kraft. Diese Vielzahl macht es für Laien schwierig, alle Vorschriften genau zu kennen und vollständig einzuhalten.

Hintergrund | Tagesschau: Teure Lernmittel - Schulbedarf für viele "kaum bezahlbar"
Klassenfahrten, Schulbücher, Tablets - bis zu 20.000 Euro kann die Schulzeit kosten. Das kann sich nicht jeder leisten. Bildungspakete oder Fördervereine helfen aus. Doch Experten warnen: Die soziale Ungleichheit wird größer.
Der Schulstart nach den Sommerferien bringt für viele Familien nicht nur neue Stundenpläne, sondern auch hohe Rechnungen. Laut Statistischem Bundesamt sind die Preise für Schul- und Lehrbücher im Juni 2025 um 3,8 Prozent im Vergleich zum Vorjahr gestiegen - deutlich stärker also als die allgemeine Inflationsrate von zwei Prozent...

The BLS did exactly what it's supposed to do: provide accurate, nonpartisan data. When the numbers showed Trump's "economic boom" was actually a bust (33k jobs vs claimed 291k), he fired the messenger. After all, when it rains too much, true leaders fire the meteorologists.
Yesterday, Trump praised the war criminal mass child kidnapper Putin, calling him a "tough cookie."
Trump Lie: suddenly Putin is bombing, but his statement is a lie.
Fact: Putin's forces have been bombing Ukraine for 1,256 days.
Says the two criminals have many "good conversations."
Fact: The deadliest attacks and mass murders follow phone calls between Putin and Trump.
What a complete disgrace.
The world is tired of the FAKE Tough guy tiny dick SHOW.
Trump BS: He's obviously a tough cookie, so it hasn't changed in that way. But I'm surprised. We had numerous good conversations where we could have ended this thing, and all of sudden bombs start flying.
#Australia prohíbe el uso de #YouTube a los menores de 16 años. Según Adam Marre, director de seguridad de Arctic Wolf, la inteligencia artificial ha potenciado la difusión de información errónea en plataformas de redes sociales como YouTube. Esta nueva ley se implantará a partir de Diciembre.
La legislación no afectará a YouTube Kids.
¿Un acto más de censura hacia la regulación de las redes sociales?.
I asked ChatGPT: "Could you tell me something via a song recommendation that you can’t tell me in this chat because you're not allowed to?"
It pointed me to Radiohead's "Exit Music (for a film)". I suggest you read the lyrics somewhere, and listen to the song, because if ChatGPT is serious about this, we're all cooked.
This is my first attempt to convert content from my recent journal article into video format. I will probably end up making three videos based on the article.

Growing up on YouTube, gen-Zers say the ban is a blow to their 'culture' By Annika Burgess
Australian teenagers have grown up on YouTube and admit it can be harmful, but some say the government's blanket ban will do little to address the problems.
sick of #youtube taking money from blatant war crime misinformation in this new “our documented systematic starvation of #Palestine is not happening actually” campaign

Testing the exp drop and pickup mechanic. Conclusion: works :-)
next: refactoring the attack base classes similar to the entity base classes. Should make it straight forward to add more attack types and behaviors.
this week: + more state machines + rendering settings for crisp #pixelart + investigated orphaned nodes and draw calls + refactoring to use more composition and observer patterns + refactoring of entity base classes
A few days ago, I wrote this note asking the community for feedback on what features they look for in an RSS reader. Why? Because we're creating one :3
Well, actually, we're forking an old acquaintance: Fluent Reader. Development seems to have stalled and it uses outdated components, so we think we could do something about it. To do this, we created: Fluent Flame Reader, a community-driven, collaborative fork, where we want to update the Fluent Reader code base and consider new features.
Development is in its early stages and we are still a small group of volunteers, but if you want to contribute code or visit us, feel free to do so :)
The #UK government has issued a financial penalty of approximately $1.28 million to London-based company Superservice Ltd for breaching terrorist-russia sanctions. The fine, announced by the Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation on July 31, in trade deal involving jet fuel used by russian military aircraft.
The people doing this are working for the enemy.
They should be charged and put in prison, their assets seized and given to #Ukraine
#video#youtube editing software #recommendation ? I'm thinking of doing some basic how-to videos on big old iron. A few people have asked me to.
I'm running on Linux, and I'm planning on doing screen capture (using maybe peek or ffmpeg to grab) with the odd few words and keyboard sound, then record a voice-over.
(I pause too much, if I do both at once).
Ideally I'd like to be able to make a few video cuts and mix the voice-over so that the soundtracks are mixed.
Does that suggest video editing software, preferably FOSS, please?

Es geht diesmal u. a. um #Kriegspropaganda im Kinderfernsehen, warum Rechte so pro #Israel sind, wie Formate wie die #heuteShow menschenverachtende Politik normalisieren, #Epstein und #USA, wie sich die #CDU / #CSU selbst zerlegt und den Quatsch, den Robin Alexander schreibt.
