We all know funding open source can be hard. Let’s talk about how Astro is doing it in 2026! (And how you can help 👀)

“age verification” is a step towards “biometric verification”. Oh we can’t possibly tell if it’s you from your legal, government issued ID you’ve provided, so now we need a blood sample and access to your medical records, to cross reference against the DNA database we bought from 23AndMe.

CONTINUE TELLING EVERYONE YOU KNOW THAT AI IS THE STUPIDEST SHIT EVER IT IS WORKING CONTINUE TO MAKE ART YOURSELF CONTINUE TO WRITE THINGS THAT INSPIRE YOU THE WHOLE POINT OF BEING ALIVE IS TO CREATE COOL SHIT AI STRIPS US OF THE POINT OF BEING HUMAN

this is not a bad on social media for under 16s .. this will be a age verification required for ALL internet access in the uK

I was present for the birth of the web, the explosion of personal sites, and the blogging revolution, and you know what we never had to do? Beg people to use our shit.

Cool to see Tony Hough weighing in on the “FEMSTODES ARE NOT CANON” babies, with a painting of a female Space Marine from all the way back in Rogue Trader days when he worked at GW. #nerdlings #warhammer40k #warhammer

Q: How do I unlock Sunglasses Macron? A: It's very difficult to unlock Sunglasses Macron in the course of a normal game because it requires a specific and unlikely sequence of events. While default Macron is ruler of France, the USA must choose the monarchy path and then lay claim to Greenland.

slowly reassembling a teenage library of RPG and Adventure books

Judge Dredd comics had a storyline which pretty much predicted the current generative AI situation all the way back in 1986. As Frederik Pohl said, "A good science fiction story should be able to predict not the automobile but the traffic jam."

This is a fantastic article with a lot of simple explanations in it of everyday counterintuitive bullshit, just as you’d expect from Cory Doctorow. Yeah AI is a bubble. But what sort of bubble? Who puffed it up? And what do we do? www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

If Labour won’t nationalise water, their “big overhaul” is a con. Sewage in our rivers. Bills going up. Profits protected. Public services should be in public hands.

the result of insisting on using technology to protect children is that we will be expecting technology companies to parent children. We will expect corporate/shareholder groups to provide direction, support, and oversight that parents should be giving to their kids. Im sure that will end well

I feel like America plotting to annex Greenland while masked state goons terrorise their own communities at will should encourage British press and politicians to reflect on what happens when you act like "far right" is an unfair slur rather than a necessary descriptor of a real political position.

watched the 2nd ep of Star Trek : Academy. I am enjoying it. What I am enjoying; I cant quite put my finger on other than to say what I can see is subtle exploration; bring on the next few episodes. Hey if you didn't like it , that's okay. its cool you don't have to say on my post , no worries.

From Terry Pratchett's 'Guard's Guards' when the guild leaders have to accept the demands of the dragon:

True.

Decided to re-collect an old classic from my RPG library , Dragon Warriors by Dave Morris was a little gem of a system which was available in Paperback at many book shops in a way that TSR D&D wouldn't be for a decade or so.

This lets cut to the chase and have digital id via supermarket loyalty scheme. Cash Back Citizenship , shopping is your commitment. to the country after all

Initial thoughts on ST:A . Strong start , title card has me saying I would like to know more and Oded Fehr rocks. Holly hunter is .. timeless and I am getting a feeling of a working universe outside the federation

Hello There !

Okay. I need a boost here. Looking for artists. We're talking about some potential comic book style art and/or concept art for the #iHunt film. We're privately funding development, so budget isn't Hollywood. I want queer and/or nonwhite artists. I want cool styles. Links? Tags? Self-promo?

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness...

An excellent distraction for this evening as a recent Ebay find has arrived. Mechwarrior RPG , not sure I can run it solo but someone should do that. This was the game system I ran as GM for many a year in my teens.

Good morning. A regular reminder: a tiny few hoard staggering wealth and own much of the media, while millions struggle to survive. That’s not an accident. It’s a choice made by those in power. Tax wealth. Fund public services. Build an economy for everyone - not the 1%.
