Burning Wheel’s Artha system has players create goals that are tied to their beliefs and related to their character’s relationships and back stories. When one of these goals are achieved in game the player gains a large chunck of progression.

Small chunks of progression in that game work similarly to Skyrim: when attempting an action a character moves closer to improving their ability with that skill.

It is an excellent system that my playgroup returns to every few years.

With a fast enough ssd you can use zram or a swap partition to emulate having more RAM.

…We’ve all been doing that for years.

Snowden implicated Google and Apple in 2013.

What a cringe, and obvious attempt at promoting your leaflet distribution company through fake online engagement, @cheetahdistribution@thelemmy.club.

p sure he Epsteined himself.

So does ChatGPT, and I can’t run that offline…

A distilled DeepSeek R1 model.

Check out aether.

I really wanted this to be as popular as Lemmy, but it never caught on in a big way.

XMPP is a tried and tested e2ee standard.

There is mention of e2ee voice and video chat on the site.

Only way to install it with support for port forwarding on Fedora Atomic spins.

Add the rpm from protons website then rpm-ostree install package name.

This is one of the situations where layering packages is appropriate.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

Signal Private Messenger is free open source, works on everything. Your grandma could use this.

I have slowly migrated all of my friends and family to this over the last few years.

All of the big ‘encrypted’ messengers like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger use the Signal Protocol under the hood but insert their own shady business and tracking defeating a lot of the purpose.

There are other perhaps more anonymous options like SimpleX or XMRchat but they are not practical nor needed for most threat models.

Matrix is not quite mature enough but is a better option than discord for gaming communities.

Signal everyday. I would not recommend Telegram. DYOR.

My APAP machine has a sim card and unless I am careful to not disable airplane mode every time I start it up, it will send all of my health data to company that I have signed no agreement with.

I explicitly declined to agree to the privacy policy of the company that sold it to me.

If I find my data in a breach, lawyers will be involved.

That’s how aether works kind of.

It’s P2P/decentralised rather than federated.

Anyone can make a community. With enough participation in a community one can become a mod. Mods can be impeached by vote of active participants.

Anyone can see nod actions and anyone can decide to disable the actions of any mod.

I love the system, I was active there before moving to Lemmy. I wish it had taken off/absorbed some of the Reddit fallout rather than Lemmy.

AFAIK it is not maintained or at least updated much less frequently than Lemmy/ActivityPub.

Epstein his own life

I need to find a way to tell Wayland to launch the ereader part of calibre flipped 90° so that I can use my SteamDeck as a tablet for book reading.

Wasn’t he found legally innocent in the end?

We need a digital seed library with the crispr ready DNA of various seeds for pirates (humans that need to eat) to archive.
