Found a shop literally called Smeg. It has appliances featuring the brand name.

A house full of smeg...

@icedquinn I picture that as the outer layer. The rational core's still inside. There's a place where someone say 'I can make better batteries' and others bet on those batteries being better, then maybe give money up-front for development.

Then there's the meta betting layers outside.

Then fuckery layer, with shorts and various other tricks we're not yet aware of.

Maybe it's time to return to hanging for usury.

@icedquinn not quite how the books put it :P

But yea, something like 'Max. Entropy'.

@icedquinn what happened to sleep?

I've found my MP on theyworkforyou.com, but I can't see how to get an RSS feed out.

I've finally solved the mystery of cup and ring markings: they are in fact fantasy maps of where you can hear bagpipes.

This font is a crime. Where is the Gemini mirror?

Anyone up for open source RPG musings, banter, and horrifying technical problems?

We have a Matrix room.

@splendorr I once heard of an audio engineer who insisted on using pound-shop headphones as he mixed everything.

I like BIND exclusively greyscale, for ease of printing, but now I'm thinking maybe a little colour, just for pride, wouldn't hurt?

But it does hurt. I've never learnt how colours work, and every chapter looks like a new kind of headache.

Experimenting with silhouettes as RPG illustrations.

It's getting there...slowly, slowly.

@silverwizard
Sounds like web3omancy. Not tasty.

@silverwizard like Unix sockets? I think permissions are easier to manage than directories. I don't see a difference personally.

@jessew
#Voidlinux introduces itself as 'based on the Linux Monolithic Kernel', as if people know what kernels are, and understand monolithic vs micro, but just needed an introduction to Linux in particular.

@icedquinn
The tradition is much older than WotC minis - TSR had it as standard.

Above-ground maps were massive, but underground maps much smaller.

Why do we make tiny dungeons, with cramped maps? Real caverns meander, like twenty miles of dropped spaghetti.

And the only way to represent miles of spaghetti is a metro-map.

@silverwizard
Riker's twin makes a great example, along with that guy with the fear of transporters.

I think the fear comes from really thinking about what the real process is, but you're probably right that people understand it more now from working with files.

@silverwizard
Maybe it shines too much of a spotlight onto the fact that a person is, much like a legal entity, a fiction; created by shared understanding, which is also a fiction.

You cant move files onto a USB stick - you can only copy them, then delete the first copy.

You can believe in materialism, and computer-files, while still feeling uncomfortable with the full implications.

Game on!
