It's Wednesday and I get all stressed out about preparing the next part of the adventure for my #TTRPG group tonight, so I hastily throw together some maps in DungeonDraft, race against time to setup the lighting and NPCs in Roll20, and bang out the next few story beats, then my players get through like only a third of what I prepped.
Still, everyone had a great time, so who am I to complain about my own poor time-management skills.
What major US paper should I subscribe to? Wall Street Journal, New York Times, the Washington Post, US News, or do you have something different in mind?
@Mike_the_Cleric NYT does great if you stay away from its editorial section, but I didn't like funding that section. Atlantic has some good articles. WaPo is pretty good for the most part. I'd say go with whichever doesn't piss you off and that you read the most, then support a local paper too.
@jenbanim half my party will have picky palates so I'm already thinking of just doing lasagna or spaghetti, which always go well, instead of bothering with the traditional fare.
@NBAnthony2k@Komodore68 yeah it would have been better to initially have a property on the Object class that held the reference, which would allow myObj.ref == otherObj.ref if you want to know same object in memory or myObj == other Objects if you want to know equality in value. While it didn't necessarily make the best initial decisions, the longevity of Java including supporting those non-optimal early decisions instead of requiring Java devs to do major rewrites is why it's everywhere.
@eclectech I'm more of a raincoat (+ maybe rainpant if bad enough) than umbrella person, but umbrella designs seem to be a battle between strength vs convenience.
I keep trying to re-record my EmacsConf presentation with slower narration so that I can get closer to the 160wpm that the Internet generally recommends instead of the 193wpm I'm currently clocking at. My latest attempt if I talk slowly and I include more silences at the beginning and end: 176 wpm... Aaah!
Itโs been almost a year since I left Twitter, seems like itโs a good time to do an anonymous poll (if you have multiple accounts, scope your answer to your personal Twitter account only please):
@zachleat by left I don't post nor scroll on the site, but I do still occasionally follow a twitter link if its not someone from there that I'm following via bird.makeup (or RSS & mastofeed.org if they have one), unfortunately so much is still only over there.
Right. There's been a lot of talk about #AltText and it's place here on the fediverse of late.
Whether you're blind, deaf or sighted, I'd be curious to not only have you fill out the relevant choice, but feel free to respond to this with more detail if you like.
Do you make use of, benefit from or even find alt-text useful, whether for images or audio?
@FreakyFwoof many times text is grainy or the image is a super niche media, alt text provides more context. Also on slower networks alt text will load first.
