Dear #Fediverse? Is there some sort of client or frontend which has a better UI for following custom lists of hashtags as separate feeds?

The multi column view of #Mastodon advanced mode, gets impractical for this very quick.

Honestly prefer following custom lists of hashtags in mastodon to most of the fediverse enabled reddit alternatives ive seen.

Boosts, welcome.

EDIT: Mostly looking for web based frontends, or linux or iOS friendly clients.

EDIT EDIT: No moralizing on my mobileOS preference please.

Did Meta's activitypub thing go live, or did they drop some new press release or something? I've been getting over an intense cold and have been having a hard time following the chatter.

Hey @feditips thanks for the heads up on Lemmy, before I got too invested. A little concerned with kbin.social having basically no overarching mod policy though that I can see. So I am scratching my head on next steps.

So it looks like I got the fully remote web administrator job. Formal offer from the HR department will be sent tomorrow.

My boss and our IT department here at my dayjob are going to flip out hard. Im doing like three jobs with no backup right now.

Which makes this fucking delicious, you know?

5. You have stated both that you would have liked to object to Meta/Facebook creating a VR tabletop of your rules. But are okay with say existing third party VTT solutions. Is there a consistent rationale? Or do you simply wish to lock out businesses you would have trouble competing with?

6. Seeing as the OGL1.0a was commonly understood across the industry as irrevocable; and WoTC was commonly percieved as using legal linguistic tricks to circumvent it's intent. Why should third parties and content creators trust your assertion that the Creative Commons release of 5e's rules is irrevocable. The Creative Commons being just yet another license commonly understood as being irrevocable.

7. Is it still the position of WoTC that it has the right to resend the OGL1.0a at any future date, even if it has no intent to in the present?

1. Did Wizards of the Coast recognize before this that the OGL1.0a was commonly understood across the entire industry to be irrevocable, and that even they as an organization had stated this previously?

2. If the OGL 1.1 was the result of a multi-year internal project examining these questions, why was it seemingly ignorant of the variety of ways the OGL 1.0a was being used in the industry. Or were things like OpenD6 considered collateral damage?

3. If the intent was to stop megacorps from abusing your IP, why was there so much focus on crowdfunding?

4. Why was there seemingly no investigation of leveraging trademarks to do so much of this?

Well I think I just had a very good interview for a job at a different university. Lets hold our breath and cross our fingers.

Hey if you reply to one of my toots, that is more than a day old, and I suddenly delete it, and say nothing. It is totally because im sick of death of talking about that thread. Sorry.

@PetterOfCats Im talking about an org, whose job would be to build a whole new IP based on OpenCulture.

@silverwizard That would be a good example of the kind of thing im talking about yeah.

@silverwizard But if it's owning company were a non-profit.

Honestly the license and ruleset problems were solved problems before any of this started.

What I want is a non-profit that produces and publishes a complete #ttrpg with all setting material and suppliments under an #OpenCulture license. Written for use with open rules. WITHOUT it being bog standard OSR / D&D.

Where is the #Debian of #ttprg gaming? How do we make it.

So when a service provider puts in their terms of service that they can kick you for say using their platform as a means to spread bigotry.

Has there EVER been a major case where they rampantly used that exact legal text to silence things which were not offensive?

NOTE: Seriously happy to be educated on this one.

It has no hovertext. Which also makes me suspicious of the page's overall accessibility too.

REAL ADVENTURES IN IT

Writing end user documentation and I need help.

What would you call this button?

Pressing it brings down a dropdown of different available virtual machines.

Them: I can't get Adobe Reader to Install

Me: Believe it or not... close Outlook.

@ShadowJonathan Silent installer for Adobe Reader won't go forward with the install if Outlook or MS Office are running. Because it has precious adobe pdf addons to install.

Read "advanced privacy" as "advanced piracy" and now im dissapointed .

My husband reading terrible baby names to me:

Him: "Cilantro"

Me: "No, I wouldnt name a child Cilantro. Some people would be genetically predisposed to hate them for no reason."

Face to face meeting with the apple engineer was kind of disappointing.

ALSO they were basically a sales person who could follow technical points. Not interested in answering the very technical questions we posed to them for like the third or fourth time.

Should have known better.
