@cwebber I heard it was built using this cool new thing called Goblins from Spritely (https://spritely.institute/) which has some cool ocap stuff so your posts are only visible to people you want to see them and lets you edit your posts atomicly so no one ever sees an old copy on the network!

It was built by Nistrine Wemmer-Lebber who's quite a hoopy frood and I hear she's often available to answer questions about the deep lore of its structure.

@aral @staff @haubles the ability to replace the served version of a post with a "hidden by moderation" message would likely work, that way there's functionally a placeholder for if it is later unhidden and it can just remanifest back in like an edit almost.

@cwebber I'm hype for the new plot lines, I hope they don't just recycle last seasons stuff about ID verification and attempts to snoop everyones chat, those were cool at the time but overdone I think. Writers, give it a rest, get a new thing.

@moonemprah @cwebber absolutely makes sense, I was just not expecting the 92% agreement amount

@cwebber just so you know "Meat Hands" has just manifested in my vocab and will likely stick there

@cwebber sure but how's it pronounced? Is the emphasis on the first T or the second T? and the P or the UB?

acTivity-Pub, activiTy-Pub, acTivity-pUB, or activiTy-pUB

Also is the "pub" part pronounced short or long. is it like Activity-Pub (short), Activity-Pube (long1), or Activity-Pubbb (long2), or Activity-Pubbo (long3)

or am I meowing up the wrong spec totally?

@cwebber weirdly kinky TTRPGs you say? https://geostatonary.itch.io/tintoy

speaking of which "Has run all the TTRPGs" and "Has played all the TTRPGs" and "Has developed home-brews for all the TTRPGs" probably need adding

@cwebber if we ask around we can probably find a few others in other countries even, all the people there can't be bots on my computers right?

@cwebber it's very decentralised, I can see it from my laptop, my phone, and my desktop machines

@cwebber (inconceivable that someone hasn't posted this yet)

@cwebber but have you considered satisfactory? :)

Report from UK media "Russian soldiers given church-blessed Warhammer-inspired seals to ‘keep them safe’" (https://archive.ph/hCRqb)

These seem to come from a company called Ratnik Technical, I've found reports on bits of Reddit that people have been doing this in a more adhoc manner for at least a year but I find it interesting that these are (a) coming out of a company and (b) getting blessed by priests. An interesting mix of things.

Seems this December we're getting a shiny new werewolf film that doesn't seem to be skimping on the amount of them seen pretty fully on screen at any one time.

Probably a mix of CGI and practical effects, and some full on screen transformation sequences.

@aral That is one of the saddest looking dogs I've seen in a long time :( I hope he has people giving him sympathetic pettings

@inthehands I just got inspired to meme by this awful statement.

@cstross this lead to me discovering the existence Muppet Burlesque with videos existing on youtube.

Yesterday lunchtime featured learning how to weave jute twine into slightly more robust cords, one of which I then test singed to remove the fuzzies and gently oiled and it came out okay as a small 2.5-3mm utility cord (I then wrapped a present in it). I think I could make the 2 ply version neater with practice on the splices and now wondering about making a 3x2 ply version.

@cwebber I love that scene.

Step one: its like ships passing at sea and if we don't see it its gone and there's no way to see it without knowing its there.

Step two: I will set up an alert that monitors the whole ocean in the above metaphor lol.

Oh and this evenings writing backed up by listening to Ulvesang on loop.

@mrvi you may find them refreshing and nice to listen to if you've not already come across them, its very atmospheric mostly acoustic folky outside influenced I believe explicitly pagany vibes (yes I checked, they aren't nazis)
