Fediverse@lemmy.world•Can we make federation less dependent on domain names?English
5·1 month agoAre instances changing names that often? Hexbear is the only one I have heard of and iirc that was only temporary.

Dungeons and Dragons@lemmy.world•How it feels to come back to Dungeons and Dragons after 20 years.English
6·2 months agoYeah it was a bit confusing, but once you understood it, it was easy enough.
If your thac0 is 15, and your opponent is ac5, you need to roll a 10 to hit. If they are ac-5 you need a 20.

5·2 months agoI first played ad&d around '87 when I was 10ish. Did not play it much, but picked up some other games, Palladium games almost exclusively (Robotech, Rifts, Teen-Age Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness, and Palladium Fantasy), their books were cheaper, and you needed less of them. Later on we added WEG’s Star Wars d6.
It was not until '95 in college that I really played ad&d again. Then again over a decade later. But between the two there were so many other games I played. White Wolf’s Werewolf, Mage, and Vampire being the most played.
I opened a game store in '18 and a year later I decided it was finally time to try out 5e, which I was not really looking forward to. I did not like 3rd, I skipped 3.5 and 4th totally. But 5e felt like 2nd but with better rule systems and more inclusion.
I have since shelved 5e for Pathfinder 2E. And getting ready to start Starfinder.

You may not want one, but the OP is specifically adding about one. So while your post may work for you, it is not what was asked about.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's wrong with Brave browser?English
208·2 months ago@cannedtuna@lemmy.world is the author of everything that follows:
This is a very well written an thorough article and I highly recommend reading it. If you don’t want to however, here is a summary of the key points:
-
- Brendan Eich donated to anti-LGBT political organizations, politicians, and initiatives such as CA Prop 8 which banned same-sex marriages.
-
- Brave promised to replace ads with privacy friendly ads that would actually pay publishers and even users with a volatile cryptocurrency while keeping a cut for themselves. This never actually came to life and was criticized as “blatantly illegal”.
-
- Brave collected donations for popular content creators without actually involving or seeking consent from said creators. In short they accepted donations in crypto for creators, but would only pay out if it reached a minimum value of $100. When called out, Brave said refunds were impossible.
-
2020 — Brave injects referral links when visiting crypto wallets
-
- Brave injected their own referral links for services such as Binance without informing users or asking permission.
-
- Brave turned their home screen image rotator into a place to serve ads, many of which were suspicious or crypto related.
-
- Brave added a Tor feature which exposed users DNS requests
-
- Brave refuses to disclose their crawler bot to websites since many websites want to block Brave Search. Brave will only chose not to crawl a website if it also blocks Google’s crawler.
-
2024 - So-called “privacy browser” deprecated advanced fingerprinting protection
-
- Brave removed a the Strict, Block Fingerprinting privacy feature from their browser.
-
- Brave paid for targeted ads for users searching for Firefox in the Play Store and ran a campaign to “Forget the Fox”. When called out on this the VP publicly denied it and claimed it was photo-shopped.
-
- The VP of Brave, Luke Mulks, frequently posts about all things crypto, from NFTs to FTX, and uses AI-gen images to promote them. He also frequently re-tweets right-wing activists.
-
- Brendan Eich’s feed also frequently contains right-wing content and Republican propaganda despite his claims to be “independent”.
Edit: corrected a mistake noted below.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Sometimes I forget how awesome Linux Gaming isEnglish
2·2 months agoYeah once I learned about DDU I would download new drivers, reboot into safe mode, run DDU, install new drivers, reboot into normal windows.
Similar process for a new card.
I have not had a Linux desktop since 09 or 10, and I never replaced the graphics card so I cannot speak to that process. I am getting ready to try and resurrect my old gaming desktop with Linux, and I think the graphics card on it was dead/dying so I will likely be replying one soon.
Plot twist: Will ends up working for TSR/WotC and is on the team working on 3rd, and he heads the team in charge of creating a new class. He draws inspiration from a home brew character he played in the 80s.

Gaming@beehaw.org•Linux has had a great year, but there are two reasons I can't tear myself away from WindowsEnglish
9·2 months agoThanks. I saw the bit about the WiFi card and trackpad, but missed the games he plays.
Before I got my Steam deck I did all of my gaming on a MacBook, ps5, or switch. If it was not available on one of those platforms I never looked at it.
Even now when buying a game I lean towards those playable on Mac.



Bad at everything.
