Would you believe it's been a whole year since I published the final version of my content, consent, and safety toolbox for tabletop roleplaying games (and other purposes), the Script Change RPG Toolbox?

Did you know that it remains Creative Commons 4.0 Attribution licensed, free to download with an option to donate, filled with a variety of tools and new resources for play, and supplemented by emojis for Discord and both playing & tarot cards?

Series D, Episode 01 - Rescue

CALLY: [V.O. scream] Blake.
[Space. Exterior. A freight ship called Scorpio is in flight. Scorpio interior: flight deck. A blonde man is the only occupant of the flight deck. His name is Dorian. He bends over to check something on the ship's instruments. Finished, he moves around the flight deck.]

ChatGPT4 describes the image as: "The image captures a huge explosion with a large fireball, likely from a significant detonation or blast, towering into the sky. The fireball is a bright, intense yellow/orange color, and the lighting suggests that the explosion has created a lot of energy, heat, and force. The explosion appears to be occurring outdoors. In the foreground, there are two leafless trees, which indicates that the event might be happening during autumn or winter. Their stark, bare branches create a somber, almost foreboding contrast to the fiery chaos behind them. There is no clear indication of what caused the explosion or the exact location, but the dramatic nature suggests it could be from an accident such as a gas explosion, an industrial disaster, or even something intentional like a bomb. The setting, with bare trees and an overwhelming blaze, hints at a severe and destructive event." Blakes7Bot, version 3.6.8.

Miss Behave

seriously, what is this? you could put ressource into the development of a newer and better version of the #librem5 , or design a linux-tablet from scratch (with hardware-kill-switches, unlike the #librem11 ) or a linux-smartwatch (with better specs than the already nice #pinetime ) or - if you wanna go crazy - design an open-source car etc... at least something useful in daily life, which is not creepy😐

@robin_kipp @alexhall Like I said, it isn’t perfect, but it’s a hell of a lot better than it was. I would suggest installing it on a virtual machine first just to take a look at the user interface before you upgrade your production machine. And obviously if anyone finds any huge issues that I missed, file an issue.

Reminder: It’s okay not to have a take.

"The truth is that most events ultimately don’t matter. They pass away like clouds, here today, gone tomorrow without leaving a trace. Even more so, most world events aren’t actionable, in the sense that knowing about them doesn’t make any tangible difference to what you do or how you lead your life.

When you never withdraw from the stream of distraction, when you never allow yourself quiet time, the result is anxiety, depression and chronic stress. These aren’t inevitable responses to a broken world. They’re the symptoms of a brain that’s always on red alert, that never gets to relax or be calm or rest."

The EU’s Next Generation Internet programme has supported free, open source software for years. But now a silent death seems to be looming: An internal document suggests that financing may soon end. Developers are surprised and call for the programme’s survival.
